An oldie, but a goodie; three voices, one incredible guitar, and a not-too-shabby backup band.

Okay, Vulfpeck are virtually unknown (I've mentioned them here before) but here's a clip of one of their songs, from a three-week sold-out series of shows, in some place called Madison Square Garden. But what I really want everyone to notice, is that the whole crowd is singing along with the disjointed instrumental break! There's hope for us yet!
Learned on CBS this morning that, between all band members, they have 76 Grammys!
Not hard to believe. Allison Krauss is supremely talented prodigy who only got better with age. Jerry Douglas is the best dobro player on the planet IMHO and it's not even close. Throw in everybody else and you have a bluegrass supergroup.
Don't know if you saw it but Rick Beato interviewed Allison a couple of weeks ago. Worth a listen.

beautiful... put some shoes on Gram.
Literally the least annoying/obnoxious I've ever seen David Crosby.
Gram though... chill bro.

One of my favorite bands. Still rocking it. I will see them again if I get the opportunity.😎

Just a quick recommendation: if you want to explore Mexican music more, Arhoolie has a lot of great stuff.
Mexico | Smithsonian Folkways Recordings
folkways.si.edu
Arhoolie was a small record shop and associated label in Northern California that specialized in "roots" and "world" music—in the same town that Creedence Clearwater Revival is from and I betcha an influence on John Fogerty—which sold its catalog to the Smithsonian Institution's record label when the owner retired. So all of its recordings are in good hands...at least for the moment, if you know what I (PRSI) mean.
Hopefully its releases are stocked in the UK since you prefer discs to streaming.
I think back to what I was doing at twelve which was playing trumpet. I certainly did not have the ability to play all the instruments. What a talented young lady.
Looks like she had a bunch of fun doing it too
I totally forgot Tony Levin and his funk fingers lol. Love his basslines especially with Peter G. I saw this clip of him pre-funk fingers where he's playing with PG playing Bigtime and he's doing his FF line with an actual drumstick. Such a neat sound & such a cool bassist
I thought long and hard about dropping Mark King in my list. Have you heard Wojtek Pilichowski? He totally reminds me of MK. Slap beasts that's for sure
Reminds me of a Far Side cartoon where Larry, in the orchestral percussion section, staring at his sheet music, waits for his Big Note, crashing two cymbals together, but he only has one on his hands, and he's saying to himself, "Don't screw up, DON'T screw up, Don't screw up"...

...and that exquisite caption: "Larry screws up"...

A few tracks from Paco Da Lucia (whom I had the privilege of seeing and hearing, play live): Río Ancho, Rumba Improvisada, Entre Dos Aguas, and La Cueva Del Gato.

A few from Os Mutantes: El Justiciero, Panis Et Circenses, Fuga No II, Ando Meio Desligado, Desculpe Babe, and Le Premier Bonheur Du Jour.
And now, a few from the 1990s - strange to think that this is now all of thirty years ago:
Get The Message - Electronic
The Look - Metronomy
What Do You Want From Me? - Monaco

One of the greatest - timeless - albums released in the past twenty five years - actually, given that it was recorded in 1996 - and released in 1997, - it was (is) closer to all of thirty years than a quarter of a century ago - and I had the inestimable and indescribable privilege of hearing them play live on one of their European tours:
The Buena Vista Club: The album of that name played by this legendary group after which the album is named; an album that deserves a place in any - and every - decent collection of music.

I loved, loved, loved The Far Side.
Thank you for the reminder; one of my favourite professors (he taught medieval history) used to have Far Side and Doonesbury cartoons on his office door....
