I keep searching for some of the tunes I heard on a local NPR Blues Program where Johnny Winter and B B King played together.  I can't find the tunes I want yet but these two Texas guys represent very good American Blues music.

It is impossible to ignore Johnny Winter and Muddy Waters as well.

Great song, at my age I get some strange looks when I tell people who is playing. I'm also a big fan of Joss Stone and Pink.



I was going to post a different Pink song but.....

I don't think there's an "age" when it comes to music ... you're either open or closed to what's new (in much wider terms than music).

I LOVE old Bowie ..



.. but I'm really enjoying the quality of some of the current crop of alternative music. Alt-J are a real standout:

Chet Faker is turning out to be another brilliant talent

I grew up listening to Rock & Roll as well as Country, playing Classical music in the youth symphony, and trying to convince my high school music director he needed a cello in the Jazz band.  Needless to say, my musical tastes run the gamut.

One of my favorite singers is Raul Malo of the Mavericks.

Here's a solo rendition of Dream River from their Trampoline album.  Great song.  Incredible voice.

Wombats have some lyrics that cause you have a bit of a double take when you realise what you're actually singing along to!

 

[rizzoa13]

I've been switching back and forth between reggae (dirty heads, young marleys, rebelution, iration, matisyahu) and more alternative stuff like rise against, flobots (listen to "defend Atlantis" and tell me you don't get it), avenged sevenfold. That's just the flavor of the hour but I'll listen to anything that moves me.

We only get live music...

Steely Dan

For me the most credible example of a 60s rock and roll guy to crossing over to country (Gene Clark of the Byrds).  It has none of the sappiness and hokey-ness you often find when the hippies started doing roots music, and manages to achieve a genuinely new approach to country.

Dillard & Clark -- Polly

This probably won't be for everyone, but some of my favorite music these days is from Mali in the 70s and 80s, a bunch of which I've been posting to Youtube.

The Rail Band -- Kaira:



Ali Farka Toure (the Jimi Hendrix of Malian music) -- Allah:



Super Djata de Bamako - Maliden



Tata Bembo Kouyaté - Armée



Les Messagers du Mali - Dioula

 

[alkaline]

Interesting thread. One my favorite.
