Your link is the right song just without the video, which doesn't really matter in the "listening to" thread I guess. FWIW this is the actual link... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uY2IEXxEVvM
bitflipper Posted March 17, 2024 Posted March 17, 2024 Here's an obscure one. Well, I remember seeing it peoples' record collections back in the day, but I don't think I'd ever given it a listen until today. I pulled this up after watching an interview with Leland Sklar in which he included No Other by Gene Clark in his list of his five favorite albums he's played on. High praise, given that Lee has played on literally thousands of records that run the gamut from straight-up pop to serious jazz and jazz-rock fusion. Many were huge commercial successes but most are appreciated primarily by music nerds. No Other falls into the latter category. I can see why this album wasn't a hit - there is still no tidy category for it. It's not Country, but has Country influences. It's not exactly Eagles-style Country Rock, although it does feature Timothy B. Schmitt on vocals. It's not folk rock, but Clark's former Byrds bandmate Chris Hillman plays on it. Here's the Wikipedia entry, which links to the impressive pedigrees of all the musicians who contributed to this album. I call it Country Prog. Some great melodic and inventive guitar work (7 guitarists are credited), and of course listening to Sklar is a master class for bass players. Here's a link to the full album. It's all good. 2

Just gave it a listen and it was good! However, I was shocked at how fast it was over! LOL. ?

Ok, that was the joke I had intended to put here, however... After a little research, guess what I discovered??! That guitarist is Guthrie Govan!!! ? I think I need to find more of Hans' stuff. ?
craigb Posted May 7, 2024 Posted May 7, 2024 That one keeps popping up on my YouBoob feed too. Just haven't had time to watch it yet!
57Gregy Posted May 15, 2024 Posted May 15, 2024 I was having dinner with my friend Jon Hamilton and his friend Cole, and he told me he was in a band called Armada. I just listened to a couple of their songs, and I really liked them. 1
craigb Posted May 15, 2024 Posted May 15, 2024 No time to listen to much now, but your sample sounded great! Will check out more later...
Grem Posted May 17, 2024 Posted May 17, 2024 I love the way this girl sings!! I have watched her ever since I saw her on American Idol. 2
57Gregy Posted May 17, 2024 Posted May 17, 2024 The strings were instrumental in the performance of that song. Wrong fred?
