It's nice to come here and listen to something you might not otherwise have tried. Even when they are not my favorites, I am finding something to like in most of what is posted. Metallica and Oliver Lieb are both examples of that. Metallica showed that they still have some chops, although the "anger" seemed a little posed. Overall, I liked the new song. And Oliver Lieb is someone I am hearing for the first time. Definitely interesting.
When you guys move into my comfort zone, then it is pure delight. Gershwin, Joe Jackson, and Edie Brickell, just to name a few, were great to hear. Okay, with the Joe Jackson, I had to imagine I was hearing it.
Even though I have purchased almost everything I could find by Edie Brickell and New Bohemians, I never found anything up to the very high standards of their breakout single. With that gem in your pocket, you don't really need anything else.
@OneBigDay: The owner of San Mateo's largest CD and Vinyl store looked through his (online) catalogs for Dogma. He never found it. According to the notes at YouTube, the track I posted is from the 2009 album Ethnic-Methnic. Perhaps it is just as well that I can't locate the CD. I have spent considerable time going through the YouTube postings by Dogma. To date, I have not found anything that rocks as hard as Matchmaking. Don't get me wrong, there's still a lot to like.
I am getting ready to update my sig-line. Before erasing the songs I have linked there, I want to copy the links for them here.
This is Gershwin's eternal Summertime, performed by Joss Stone and LeAnn Rimes. For the most part, backing comes from the LeAnn Rimes touring band, featuring guitarist Stuart Mathis. His playing is wonderful on this track, both on the intro and the solo. It is easy to overlook the intro; if you are not careful, it will go by before you are focused.
LeAnn and Joss both deliver the goods. I love the way Joss practically falls over in amazement midway through, completely blown away by LeAnn's pyrotechnics. By the end, all she can do is point at LeAnn in disbelief.
Hope you like this.
