Looking for listening suggestions

Curt Trisko · Post by **Curt Trisko** » 24 Apr 2015 7:20 am

I've been having bad luck lately finding new music (new to me) to listen to. Does anyone have any suggestions? To give you some guidance, I'm thinking stuff similar to these songs: slow, quiet, reserved:

Curt,

Check out KALX.berkeley.edu. It's nearly all listen to (though I do listen on terrestrial radio).

The last track you posted, Willie Nelson, was beautiful. Wonder who the steel player was on that one?

Isn't it? That's why it's so hard to find anything comparable. I remember thinking that Mike Johnson was on steel. It sounds like he's improvising.

Hi Curt, (and others)!

I went through my bookmarks and found these songs (hopefully) in a similar vein that you are looking for.

"Til I Can Make It On My Own" - Anna Catherine DeHart

Conway Twitty With Loretta - Hello Darlin "Live"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ej9Dqh ... re=related

Celtic Woman - Amazing Grace

"I Told You So" Carrie with Randy Travis
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hvTwFl6OIAk

Crystal Gayle - Eddie Rabbitt - duet - Just You and I
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v0sxMMsDgtM

Trisha Yearwood & Michael McDonald - "I Still Believe In You"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pRwMdYXXAQA

John Berry - You and Only You
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YLrEAH2 ... 2FBAE793E6

Wynonna Judd - My Strongest Weakness
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z00b1DOiCU4

Amy Grant - You Gave Me Love
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4uKrBK3Wzx4

Don Helms & Vince Gill - If You Ever Have Forever In Your Mind
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wl3Nm0HmTe4

This one is a classic - Don Helms & Vince Gill. My only complaint is that Vince sings the whole song and doesn't let the steeler do his thing!

There are a lot of familiar faces in this crowd - see if you can identify them all. Check out who's sitting behind Don. BTW, the blond female at 7:32 - anyone know who she is? I recognize her but can't recall her name...

Hope you enjoy these, they are some of my favorites.

Thanks Tim. That'll give me something to listen to for a little while.

My closest guess would be Emmy Lou, but I don't think so... $:\$

Chely Wright?

Wayne Carver · Post by **Wayne Carver** » 25 Apr 2015 7:56 pm

Perhaps some of the singer-songwriters like Bill Morrissey or Guy Clark.

Jim Cohen · Post by **Jim Cohen** » 25 Apr 2015 8:32 pm

Definitely not Emmylou. I should know; I've fantasized about her for years...

Steve Hitsman · Post by **Steve Hitsman** » 26 Apr 2015 4:37 am

I fantasize about Emmylou, too... there may be trouble.

Barry Blackwood · Post by **Barry Blackwood** » 26 Apr 2015 8:08 am

There could very well be a secret society of Emmy Lou "fans" out there I think. I'm adding my name to the list right now along with my apologies to Curt for inadvertently hijacking his thread..

If you've yet to hear La Familia de Ukulele out of Argentina, they're worth checking out. Here's a link to their album on You Tube:

More along the vein you've described is Iowegian Greg Brown. I especially like "Blue Car." With some imagination the tremoloed electric guitar part would translate nicely to steel:

And "Eugene" may be about the coolest talking blues ever:

That hits the spot!

For about 30 years, I've liked Lee Clayton for that sort of music - kinda alt-countrty, kinda Dylan, and kinda Willie, all rolled up in one.

He does some real hard-edged stuff, too, but that's probably outside of the type of music you're looking for.

Donny, thank you for the Lee Clayton links. I had forgotten how good he was.

the blond pictured above is Lane Brody.

She and Johnny Lee had a duet hit with Yellow Rose of Texas.
