Doyle Lawson - Help is on the way

[JEStanek]

Today I revisited a favorite record from the late 80s Beelzebubba by the Dead Milkmen and discovered the first track "Brat in the Frat" had mandolin on it! I loved that album it's still pretty good. It has Punk Rock Girl on it with references to Minnie Pearl. This was well before I got into the mandolin (more early seeds planted perhaps). I've even been Beelzebubba at a Halloween party with my wife as Per see phone, his bride.

As far a newly added the closest I get to mandolin content is Yuval Ron Ensemble "Under the Olive Wood Tree" of middle eastern music with oud and duduk.

Jamie

Edit: Those are in fact Bubba Brand Over Y'alls
Edit 2: Mandolin on that Album was played by Leann Zimmers-Cameron who played with a punk band New Jetz in the early 80s. I couldn't find a recent photo.

I have a non ipod player and none itune program. Usually burn cd's to hard drive and use "real player" to get the music on my ear-plug player. Last night I decided to finally down load something so I downloaded from itunes some Grisman/ Garcia stuff I didn't have on CD.
24hrs later and I have "Pizza tapes" on my non ipod but oh what a hassle. I'd rather of spent the time playing but now I get a few things about all this. I'm not sure I want to bother with what it will take to get the other stuff I downloaded on to my earbug player. I can still play them with the computer but, OOOHHH!!
Anyway "Shady Grove" "The Pizza Tapes" & The Cheiftaines- down the old plank road.
Sorry for that just had to vent a little, and people here are sometimes the only ones I can talk to about this stuff

[Ken Olmstead]

Nat King Cole

and last but best...Don Stiernberg "By George" Fantastic!

Butch's Mandolin Hymns...what a treasure it is!

edit: When I bought it on iTunes, I didn't realize there was a tab book/cd combo you could get and now, I have to have that ;-)

[onassis]

Can't believe the Dead Milkmen would come up on Mando Cafe! Awesome. No ipod or other digital for me, but this what I've been spinning lately-
1. Steeldrivers
2. Willie and the Wheel
3. Old Crow Medicine Show-Eutaw
4. Sun Kil Moon-Tiny Cities

[Bruce Stein]

Just downloaded some Yank Rachell. Gotta love the mandolin blues.

[Luke C]

The Band discography. There isn't a ton of mando content, but it's there. It is interesting to listen to the the progression of a group from there first album to the last. To see how their sound changes and grows. They are truly one of the greatest groups of all time IMHO. Long live Levon Helm!

[John Flynn]

Since the first of the year, I have added:
> Festival of Four, "Festival of Four"
> Gillian Welch, "Revival"
> Radim Zenkel, "Restless Joy"

Bach: Cello Suites / Anner Bylsma
Don't Do Anything / Sam Phillips

[Eric F.]

I downloaded all the Greg Laswell available on eMusic and am thoroughly addicted. I've also been loving Chris Smither's "Leave the Light On." Tim O'Brien plays mando on that one. Hey James P, that "Solo in Rio" album is great. I have that, too.

[clem]

Nels Cline--"Coward"

Bob Wills & the Texas Playboys--"The Tiffany Transcriptions" box

I don't have one, it's bad for the ears. My favorite music was not made for this format.

Gordon Haskell - How Wonderful You Are - it was a big hit in the UK a few years back, love the song.
www.myspace.com/gordonhaskell

[RobP]

I recently downloaded an independent CD from Itunes that I orignially found on CD baby called Walking Stones by Ken Kolodner (http://cdbaby.com/cd/kenkolodner). The main instrument is hammered dulcimer, but the tunes and arrangements are very mandolin accessible. Really good-sounding stuff.

Cheers,

Rob

[Jim MacDaniel]

...or other brand digital music player...

I find it interesting that due to its exceptional popularity, Apple's iPod has become the "Windows" of the portable music industry, and the other brands seem to be fighting for a "Mac OS" sized slice the market share. :grin:

Anyway, newly downloaded tracks to my Pioneer Inno's memory (talk about small market share ;) ) include Delbert McClinton's and Railroad Earth's most recent CD's.

[chordbanger]

I am on a Seal kick lately.

[Bigtuna]

Wayne Benson's - Instrumentals (great stuff all around)

Daptone Records - Terminal Pain podcast (funk/soul at its finest and its free!!!)

Acoustic Disc free daily downloads every morning with my coffee. Thanks Dawg!

[miked500]

Dan Tyminski - Wheels

[dchilds]

Am I the only one here with a Zune? [Don't knock it 'till you try it - some kids think it's great ;-)]

Here's my latest:
Songs of Bill Monroe (Skaggs & Friends)
Django (MJQ)
Seeing Things (Jakob Dylan)

[bgjunkie]

No, I have a Zune. Started with the 80 and now have a 120 (thanks to my wife trading with me).

I just put some Tom Paxton on mine (various songs). There is some nice mando work in some of his songs, not to mention his "May the Turtle Be Unbroken" and "Don't Slay that Potato" being two highly entertaining songs.

Also added the album Receiver by Farmer Not So John.

I sometimes struggle with finding new music. I typically stumble onto something through browsing other users playlists on eMusic.com.

[Tracy Tucker]

Joe Mullins & the Radio Ramblers "Rambler's Call" - their newest release. Good stuff! I rarely have a CD where I like every single song on it, but this one passes the test!

[Scott Austin]

Joe Strummer & the Mescalaros-Street Core
Anouar Brahem-Thimor
Jackie Mcllean-Consequence, Right Now!
Stanley Brothers box King and Staraday years 58"-61"
and on and on....

[Jim MacDaniel]

Update: I recently found a copy of John McGann's and Jimmy Ryan's excellent Duffield Station -- their Beacon Hill Billies project from the 90's -- on eBay. It just arrived in the mail a short while ago, and I will rip it onto my Inno as soon as I quit listening to it.

I also have been listening to the new Cat Empire CD, So Many Nights quite a bit as well...

[Steve Perry]

l include Delbert McClinton's and Railroad Earth's most recent CD's.

Delbert!:whistling:... I'd give it all up just to play Telecaster behind Delbert McClinton!

[Jim MacDaniel]

That would be a blast, Steve! He is the rockinest, bluesiest, funkiest country boy I know of -- and it's hard to categorize his music as anything other than fun!

[Albert Whiting]

I recently have added Stevie Wonder, Adele, and Tony Rice to my Ipod.

[mandopete]

No iPOD, Zune or MP3 player of anykind, but that don't stop me from listening to new music.

If you haven't checked it out, you owe it to yourself to check out the new recording by Mike Marshall & Big Trio (http://www.mandolincafe.com/news/publish/mandolins_001033.shtml)

5 Stars!

I've never had an ipod or any other mp3 player. Nope.. still listening to CDs in the car.

[GRW3]

My latest

Raising Sand - Plant and Krauss : It was on my gonna get list and all the grammies pushed me over the edge. I kind of like how Allison steps away from Bluegrass in this instead of just rubberizing the edges.

Guitar - McCoy Turner : Jazz pianist McCoy Turner and selected guitar players (and Bela Flec) one on one.

Stephane Grapelli Live at the Blue Note : We've all heard him with Django, this one features him. This Telarc Jazz album was in the value priced jazz section at Barnes and Noble

I've got the new Woodsongs Old Time Radio Hour podcast with the Punch Brothers but haven't listened yet.

I had a separate post but let me once again recommend the DLO Ipod dock for your stereo system. My typical MO on Sunday afternnoons is NASCAR on the video, IPod playing music, and reading a book. Makes the wife crazy: "You can't be paying attention to all that" to which I'll reply something like "Kenseth's leading, Bill Monroe's playing Scotland from anthology, and (something about what I'm reading)"... seems to frustrate her even more. :)

[PhilGE]

Pat Metheny - Secret Stories
Paul Weller - Bull-Rush

Loaded onto an SD Card I plug into my laptop at work. :)

[Eric Platt]

Most recent -
Rising Fawn Gathering - Norman, Nancy, James, Rachel & Boys of the Lough
Old Time Jamboree - Buckhannon Brothers
Anthology of American Folk Music (the thread on here was the inspiration)
Stefan Grossman - instructional CDs for Complete Country Blues Guitar

Originally I railed against these things. Then with a lifestyle change, decided to give it a try. Actually helps while away the time when walking or riding bike on certain trails. (Or on the trainer during the winter.)

[BauerHaus]

The Gibson Brothers. Those guys are great! Also some fun demo stuff, a friend and I are working on.

[luckylarue]

Alejandro Escovedo - Real Animal & The Boxing Mirror.

[Daniel Nestlerode]

Victoria Vox, Chameleon
Joshua Bell, Romance of the Violin

Del McCoury Band, Little Theater, New Haven , 02-08-09
Ryan Adams & The Cardinals, Shubert Theater, New Haven, 02-20-09

3 cheers for live music! And diversity! (and supporting the artists by attending shows and buying the commercial releases, too, by the way...)

[Eddie Sheehy]

I have a Creative Memories Zen - 30 GB of music is a LOT of tracks....and movies... and Rugby Matches...

[JeffD]

The attached lists the CDs I have on my folkie OT BG mp3 player.

[JeffD]

I am filling up my classical mp3 player with string quartets. I have a ton of the Haydns and Mozarts, and all of the Beethovens, a few Schuberts. Quartets are like little music machines, little jeweled music boxes. You can hear how they work, what they are trying to do. Heck, there are only four gears.

[CES]

Avett Brothers...can't wait to see them in April with/opening for Dave Matthews Band...

[JeffD]

I keep a separate MP3 player for each type of music I get into. That way I can put it on random, and have the perfect radio station anywhere.

[Chris Willingham]

Michael Cleveland and Flamekeeper
Steep Canyon Rangers

Both great albums that I can't stop listening to.

That's genius Jeff! I gripe about my ipod being full everytime I buy new music. Time for a standalone bluegrasspod.

[pickinpete]

I've used em all...zune, sansa, rca. My wife just bought me an ipod 8gig nano.....I'll never go back, plus it plays video so I can watch the videos from musicmoose.org on it. Anyways.....the newest addition was the result of a thread talking about john reischman's "up in the woods" and I have to say thats a great piece of work right there!

[DryBones]

Cherryholmes III, Del McCoury High,Lonesome and Blue, Mountain Heart No Other Way

[mandolooter]

KC Groves and David Long - live concert in Colorado
Magnifico - the Bosnian gyspy disco guy
Tim O - Chameleon
Carrie Rodriguez - live off of Woodsongs + her songs on her MySpace page. She's awesome!

[JeffD]

That's genius Jeff! I gripe about my ipod being full everytime I buy new music. Time for a standalone bluegrasspod.

Yea I have one for BG/OT, another for classical, and a third that is filling up fast with Western Swing.


I can't stand ear buds however. I hate them. So I have a little FM transmitter thingy for the car that sends the output of the MP3er to the car radio. At home I have a set of high end computer speakers, with a floor woofer (bought at a gaming convention I was forced to go to).

[c3hammer]

I've been into weird air tap guitar stuff lately. Almost impossible to copy on the mando, but fun trying anyway.

The three new cd's I bought recently are:

Erik Mongrain - Fates (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AbndgwfG22k)
Andy McKee - Art of Motion
Antoine Dufour - Existence

Cheers,
Pete

[Capt. E]

The Creole Belles out of San Francisco. An old time cajun/creole/zydeco band that has a really great vintage sound. In a departure from their normal sound, their version of the song "Creole Belles" includes a mandolin with that early 20th century mando orchestra sound.

[lindylou]

Variacion Andina - Magnus Zetterlund (care of Mandolin Cafe Mp3 downloads, thankyou!)

The Folky Gibbon - The Chair (Scottish band)

Silver Spear/ Humours of Tullah - Battlefield Band

[Shelby Eicher]

Darol Anger - "Fiddlistics"
Florin Niculescu
The Big Trio
Joe Venuti - "Joe in Chicago"

[Shelby Eicher]

I just received Darol's in the mail today. I haven't heard my album since I quit using my turntable 10 years ago. I forgot that I put Bob Wills 4 CD set "Take Me Back To Tulsa" on my IPOD yesterday. Really I put too much new music in at the same time to truely assimilate it all.

[Denny Gies]

What if I don't own an ipod? I guess I'm too old!

[sloanypal]

Mike Marshall Big Trio
Jake Shimabukuro Live

[AlanN]

Darol Anger - "Fiddlistics"



Truly one of the great, early recordings which defined the New Acoustic thang. Rice's rhythm on the opening track is da bomb. Dysentary Stomp is a very cool, dark number and it has THE definitive version of Ride The Wild Turkey.

This gets play around the house.

[Buddah]

David Grisman Quintet "Live at Jazz Alley"...great performances all around, but Grisman and Vignola are in particularly rare form.

[45ACP-GDLF5]

What's an ipod? Is it like a tripod that's missin' 2 legs?

[rekx]

Womandolin - Blitzen Trapper is awesome and that Furr song is great.

I have recently stumbled upon Greensky Bluegrass and have been listening to them. I have also been listening to some Stringduster bootlegs.

[lindylou]

Denny, I took my granddaughter with me when I went to buy my iPod - she giggled all morning at my 'un-teckiness' BUT I wouldn't be without it now. Took me a while to get over the how do get this darned thing to work business - but for ease and pleasure you can't beat them. Go get one!! And I am no spring chicken myself!

[Jim MacDaniel]

I just discovered that Amazon has hundreds of MP3's to download for free (http://www.amazon.com/s/qid=1237580102/ref=sr_pg_1?ie=UTF8&rs=334897011&sort=artistalbumrank&rh=n%3A334897011&page=1), so I have a rather eclectic mix of new tunes, and am having a blast listening many many tunes from artists I've never heard of or listened to previously.

[Don Grieser]

Toumani Diabate: The Mande Sessions: The master of the kora (no mando content)

Norman and Nancy Blake CD: Some great mando instrumentals on this one.

Blake and Oshtroushko: Meeting on Southern Soil

[sgarrity]

I'm in the process of digitizing my entire cd collection. It's a long, slow process but I think it'll be worth it in the end

[ThePartialSeries]

Alasdair Fraser and Natalie Haas ~ Fire and Grace
Alasdair Fraser and Natalie Haas ~ In the Moment
Hanneke Cassel ~ Silver
The Bee Eaters ~ The Bee Eaters

Just saw Hanneke last week... if you don't know her stuff you should definitely check it out!

[chasray]

I'm learning about some music I didn't know existed. What a diverse group we have here :)

[JeffD]

This is going on my Western Swing MP3 player as soon as it arrives. Willie Nelson and Asleep at the Wheel. Willie at the Wheel. :grin:

[AlanN]

Back to Fiddlistics.

The mando pickers on it are Mike Marshall (most of it), Grisman on one track -Blue Midnite - and Tiny Moore on one track - Moose The Mooche. Has another great T Rice tune called Old Grey Coat. Mike plays it beautifully.

Can't get it off the MP3 player, as hard as I try :mandosmiley:

[Sadw/OMyMando]

T Bone Burnett
Skillet Lickers
Sleepy Hollow Hog Stompers
Red Allen - The Kitchen Tapes
Lovin Spoonful
Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros
and so much more.

I've recently added the four albums I got for Christmas:
Matt Flinner: Latitdue
Bela Fleck: Drive
Bryon Sutton and Friends: Almost Live
Sam Bush: Late as Usual

also
Tom Waits: Glitter and Doom live
Flaming Lips: Dark Side of The Moon (cover album)

[Denny Gies]

If I admit that I don't own an i-pod do I lose my Cafe privileges?

[Mandoviol]

Not that I have an iPod, but added to my computer in the past 30 days:

Chris Thile "Not All Who Wander are Lost"
Packway Handle Band "(Sinner) You Better Get Ready"
Ricky Skaggs "Songs My Dad Loved"
Dailey and Vincent "Brothers from Different Mothers"
Natalie MacMaster "Live"
Northside Collection 1998 "Nordic Roots 1"

[Mark Walker]

Detour's 'The Road That Lies Ahead' is the latest on mine. (Well, it's not an iPod, but is an MP3 player!) :mandosmiley:

[chasray]

I'd added Sarah Jarosz,
Ricky Skaggs (songs My Dad Loved),
Butch Baldassari (mandolin hymns),
David Grisman (one with Martin Taylor and another with Frank Vignola)
Robin Mark
and some without mandolin content. It was a Merry Christmas.

[Rex Hart]

Beatles "Rubber Soul" re-mastered
Sierra Hull "Secrets"
Sam Bush "Circles Around Me"
Tony Rice "Sings and Plays Bluegrass"

[Peter Kuiper]

Emory Lester & Mark Johnson - Acoustic Rising

Mandolin is my instrument, but the way Mark Johnson plays Down to the River to Pray... I will ask my wife to learn to play the banjo!

[yankees1]

No, No Song by Ringo ! Blue Kentucky Girl by Emmy Lou Harris

[chordbanger]

Seal. His performance during a benefit for Haiti made me stop dead in my tracks. His voice and stage presence blows me away.

[bratsche]

I just got my first MP3 player 2 weeks ago, and loaded all my music onto it. I only have about a hundred- odd CDs, and the Zune has 120 gigs, so it is only about 10% full. I wasn't listening to my CDs much in a long time because of the hassle involved, so this will be great.

I wish I could use it with one of those FM transmitter thingies, but my truck has no cigarette lighter (so that leaves out car rechargers for anything, too).

I want to put some YouTubes on the Zune too, but haven't mastered that part of the learning curve yet. :))

On my Old Timey mp3 player I recently loaded:

Rare Old Cestnuts - Southern Appalachian Favorites for Fiddle & Dulcimer, Don Pedi, Bruce Green

Uncle Charlie Osborne - The June Appal Recordings

Addie Graham - Been A Long Time Traveling

I have something over 1840 tunes on that thing, all OT with some older BG. I keep it on random so I never know what is coming up. I play it when driving, and sometimes at home to play along with. Great for getting my head into that OT space on the way to a jam or festival.

[JEStanek]

Sarah Jarosz Song Up In her Head
Bill Evans At the Village Vanguard

[Bigtuna]

My wife just bought the new Mumford and Sons album "Sigh no more". They remind me a lot of the Avett Brothers with out the screaming, after reading the reviews on itunes they appear to be the next big thing in many peoples eyes. I would call it folk influenced rock.

[backwoodsborn10]

wayfaring stranger Jack White another night ricky skaggs jus cant get enuff of that bluegrass!!

[Alex Orr]

Dave Alvin - King of California (a perfect album...just stunning)
Free Energy - Stuck On Nothing (best rock album of 2010 so far)
Dum Dum Girls - I Will Be (perhaps the second best of 2010)

[Alex Orr]

re: Mumford and Sons

I heard it a few weeks ago. Good album, didn't blow me away, but I liked it

[sgarrity]

I subscribe to eMusic so I get to add new music every month. I got the new IIIrd Tyme Out and the new Greencards recordings this month along with some Celtic music by the Old Blind Dogs. Good stuff!

[stewartd]

Johnny Cash - American VI: Ain't No Grave
Howdy Forrester - Fiddlin' Country Style

Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros
David Rawlings Machine
Erik Mongrain - Fates (miss Michael Hedges but Erik is awesome!)
Old Crow Medicine Show - Eutaw
Sara Watkins
Punch Brothers - Punch
Ray LaMontagne - Trouble
Traffic - Mr. Fantasy

and I just got a fantastic iTunes video(DVD) of Jeff Beck live at Ronnie Scotts (hot as ever!!!)

[Denny Gies]

What is an i-pod?

[Gerry Hastie]

I recently added Memories of John by the John Hartford String Band having just received it in the post.
The track Bring Your Bring Clothes Back Home is a real high point with the muckle wonderful Mike Compton on mandolin and vocals. Mike's mandolin playing once again defies our humble language to describe it. The words Comptonesque or Comptony may have to be invented by the dictionary people.

[Jack Roberts]

My Sweet Devil by the Candies.

[CES]

Though I rarely ever buy anything I hear on the radio (esp Nashpop, ie Nashcrap ie "country"...I actually like some of the "modern" rock stuff), I do a lot of driving in a truck with a tape deck and 5 presets, so I listen to a lot of radio. I've gotta admit that I've probably enjoyed Miranda Lambert's newest songs more than anything out there currently...very acoustic guitar driven, great country voice. I'll probably actually get her latest single when I get home today, though it hurts me to admit it :)

Waiting on the new PB album to hit as well.
