I am a massive sucker for violins in metal music.

Tears For Fears first new song in 17 years, and it's pretty great

Robert Plant, Alison Krause, and T Bone Burnett are f***ing magic together. Plant is like the Jagr of 70s rock gods.



14 years later they’re collaborating again. How has it been that long since Raising Sand….

I really can't wait for this album.

I consider his Folk/Roots/Americana work Phase 3 of Plant's career with Phase 1 being Zeppelin and Phase 2 being his solo stuff from the 80's. He's churned out some pretty great under the radar music. Saw him with his band the Sensational Spaceshifters in 2015 and it was a killer show. The Pixies opened for him too.

superior to Celine's version

Going international. Francis Cabrel (France) delivers on this, it’s sublime:

Quebec: Michel Pagliaro. This guy was churning out big time melodies in the 70s but was mismanaged — a familiar story for many artists from that era.

Italy: Pino Daniele (RIP). Played with several jazz greats.

Italy: PFM. Met the band members after a concert several years ago. After the show, stayed on with all the fans who wanted to talk to them. Their roadies were literally packing gear in their trucks while all of the band members took pics with us, signed autographs, shared stories and smiled. It was a surreal experience, never saw a band behave that way. A class act.

They have a lot of great prog songs in their repertoire but this melody particularly stands out for me:

 

[Runner77]

Chilliwack, a talented Canadian band that never reached its potential thanks to unscrupulous management. They should have charted big in the US in the 70s, with this cut:

Great album, not so much after that.

Gone, gone, gone, they've been gone so long....

I used to play this with my band way back when. That was the summer when that song was being played to death across the FM band — nothing sounded quite like it but as a drummer, I enjoyed the possibilities it provided. Good times.

How popular was that song in the US? It did get a lot of airplay in Canada when it was released.

Apologies if it’s been posted on this thread already, but enjoying this.
