20 years before Autotune

[Guildedagain]

20 more good years before music got uninteresting and awful to boot.

When I hear lectronic drums and autotune, I'm off that station within seconds, I'm becoming allergic to digitalism, I can feel it.



Oh the sweet sounds of the human voice, a connection to the soul.

Agreed 100%

Autotune has taken the humanity out of vocal performances. I find myself listening to more live performances than studio versions of music. Both for the vocal and instrumental performance of a song. I can still very much enjoy studio recordings from the 70's and 80's and prior. But today they autotune everything, but why??? The thing that makes listening to music wonderful is it's imperfection. It's humanity!

This was the theme song of my misspent and often frustrated early adult years.

 

[Guildedagain]

Damn that's a good tune. Needs to be on a trucker compilation CD. This guy is a big favorite of mine having driven to his 8 tracks, but he didn't have Bill Kirchen.



A song about fidelity, it's hard on a guy out on the road.

A cover, dang I love that bass player's outfit ;[]

Dale Watson is a great trucking man songwriter.
I saw him in Chicago a long time ago. It was awesome.

 

[Bill Ashton]

Don't forget Junior Brown!



I must admit though, Nicolette Larsen steals the show on this thread! Sad end for that great little lady

 

[Guildedagain]

Seen him during this tour, easily the best band I've ever seen live, unless it was Jazz.



Still thankful to the gal who insisted on dragging me "to see a country band".

 

[Teleguy61]

Every one of these country/trucking artists is pisser good.

 

[Guildedagain]

They don't come much finer than this.



In the flesh, wielding what looks to be a Peavey rhymes with heavy.

Can't have a thread w/ trucker songs and not include the song that basically started one of my alltime favorite bands, Little Feat.



When Lowell George was in Frank Zappa's band, after the album Weasels Ripped My Flesh, Lowell presented the song Willin to Frank for possible inclusion on the next album. Frank took one good listen, said the song is too good...you need your own band, and basically pushed Lowell to do his own thing. Frank's bassist Ray Estrada left with Lowell, and Little Feat was born.

Singing like this guy can you don't really need to play the guitar, but can he.



2nd song he cops a Clapton lick, and then proceeds to play the guitar in was Clapton didn't even think were possible.

What's with all the Telecasters?

Is this a Guildcaster?

 

[Guildedagain]

1968, a high point.

Singing like this guy can you don't really need to play the guitar, but can he.

Vince Gill is an amazing guitar player (and collector), there is a reason he is playing with the Eagles since some years now.

Fresh Cream

 

[Guildedagain]

One of the ultimate 70's hits, like you've never heard, fab through headphones.



Some of the best rock jazz fusion ever!

Combine Jimmy Page and Eddie Van Halen and you get Rick Derringer, except Eddie wouldn't be playing like this for a few years yet when Hoochie Koo came out.

 

[Guildedagain]

My personal guitar hero of the 70's, besides, Page, Frampton, etc, etc, etc
