I need some help finding a certain type of music. I suspect you guys can give me some suggestions. I am looking for "rhythm and bluesy lead guitar" type stuff similar to the following:
Tito and Tarantula - The house that love built. (Thanks Ralf)
Aaron Neville - Voo Doo.
Michelle Shocked - The L + M don't stop here anymore.
Johnny Lang - Lie to me.
J.J.Cale - Cloudy day.
Dire Straits - Six blade knife.
Whack it to me. Thanks

Get lots of Neville Brothers records. Start with 'Yellow Moon.' Spread outward to the two Daniel Lanois records. Don't settle for 'bluesy' when perfectly good low down dirty blues are available from the likes of John Lee Hooker and Howlin' Wolf.

I have most of Neville Bros, lots of Hooker and some Wolf. What I'm looking for is a kinda slow lead guitar that sorta "reaches out and talks to you". Will check out Lanois. Thanks.

Daniel Lanois is definitely worth checking out, but probably not for bluesy slow lead guitar that sorta reaches out and touches somebody. I mean, I think he's got at least one or two songs that fit the bill, but he's more... uh... I dunno what he is, actually. I tend to describe him in terms of other, more popular artists he has produced, like Peter Gabriel ("So" and "Us" were Daniel's biggies), U2 (most of their 80s stuff), the aforementioned Neville Bros "Yellow Moon" album... if you like the atmospheric "feel" of those recordings, then you're probably already a Daniel Lanois fan and didn't even know it.

I like a lazy grin better than just a grin anyway! I have all of the Wraymen, good stuff. Credance Clearwater said that Link Wray and J.J. Cale were some of their strongest influences. I can see why.

For some interesting downloadable blooosey guitar work, search for "Dan B. Harvey" at MP3.COM.

Burn them! Burn the mp3s! Burn them!
And again, bearing in mind that I've only got 128k of outward-bound bandwidth, I would just like to remind all you musak lovers that my temporary mp3 holding pen is online, too.

Homer, I got whiplash from that one flying over my head. What the hell is a Marillion ??

Oh, currently in my aforementioned mp3 holding pen are some mp3s by "Marillion" which used to be a band that *really wanted* to carry on the legacy of Peter-Gabriel-era Genesis, and then at some point their frontman, named "Fish", left, and was replaced by a guy that sounds like Richard Marx, and ever since they've just been pathetic.

Fish has been making records, too, ya know, but they never get released in the states.
Frankly, I'm done with prog-rock. Finito. If I need a fix, I dig out my old copy of Foxtrot, and my old copy of Tarkus, and then I play them both simultaneously. Then I'm cured for a while.

Oh! I know! I know!
It's progressive rock. Think Emerson, Lake & Palmer, or early Yes or Genesis. Think bands made up of art-school dropouts. Think 12 to 25 minutes of your valuable time per song.

And suddenly the Acolyte received enlightenment... Thanks, Fang.
OK, now for the results of this weeks plundering at the Musik Shoppes:
Homer - missed getting Lanolis' 2 solo albums. Got instead one by Brook, Eno and Lanois called Hybrid. It was a bad choice - really sucked. The solo albums only on next run. Right. Two Richard Thompson CDs came Sat. - Rumor and Sigh, and Amnesia. You get my Red, White and Blue star for those! *Why must I plead* especially, was just what I was looking for. What a versitile musician he is.
Ralf - snagged the two Danny B Harvey guitar CDs that MP3.com sells. Good stuff. He must have 20 plus albums. Amazon is going to love me.
grin - Los Lobos' Kiko - yip, oh yea. I remember Los Lobos from years and years back. Just never kept up, I guess. Thanks.
Fang - I've been trying to be thoughtful about sucking your Holding Pen dry. I try to download during the weeing hours so it doesn't hog the bandwidth. Let me know it I'm getting too *enthusiastic*.
Thanks all for the suggestions. I'm game for lots more.

Richard Thompson will be here in town on the 18th! Woop! And I've never heard of Amnesia. Or, at least, I'm having trouble remembering it if I have.

As far as making mp3's go, there's a shareware proggie out there called Cool Edit '96, which isn't half bad. Initially, you can do only two features at once. I normally choose CD and Save, so I can make MP2s... and with the new patch I should even be making MP3s, soon! And I think even shareware.com has Cool Edit '96.

I'm a big fan of AudioCatalyst. It can do VBR encoding (variable bitrate), and it's got CDDB functionality so it can almost always figure out the song titles and artists for the CD without you having to type diddly squat.

Easy CD Creater Deluxe 4.0 from Adaptec is supposed to be a mighty fine product. They've increased the MP3 functionality of it so it'll even burn directly from MP3 to CD audio.
Of course, it's a retail product and costs ~$100, but still..

I shoulda known. Lay about and don't keep up for 3-4 years, then Blam - learning curve time. Sigh. Hafta do it though, to get all the tapes onto CDR (or whatever). My computer area gets more and more like a space shuttle console created by a madman (sorry: mad person).

Whew. For a minute that looked like "HOLDING PENIS".
The 'Pen is on a separate machine, which if it crashes or otherwise goes wonky disappears from Jim's LAN. Probably just needs a swift kick in the reboot.

Yeah, I usually "unshare" that drive when I'm gonna be playing Quake or Half-Life, cause my bandwidth is limited. And sometimes I forget to "reshare" it later.
