Joe Bonamassa, Live at the Hollywood Bowl with Orchestra. Look for it on your PBS station.

One of my favorites. Many great duets, Carlos Santana plays guitar on the title track, and that's my wake up alarm.

John Lee Hooker, The Healer (album)

I don't recall what the limit is, and I don't have access to those settings now. @wrf or @AndrewJohn might be able to answer that question. An excellent, free photo editor is paint.net, and it's available here: https://www.getpaint.net/

Hello Heat Sink, and welcome aboard! We're glad you're hear!

Steve Hackett, The Circus and The Nightwhale was released on February 16, 2024, "His thirtieth studio album outside of Genesis, it's as wide-ranging as the catalogue that precedes it. It's short on tunes to whistle, but generous in genres. Those expecting Genesis-like prog will delight in Ghost Moon And Living Lover and Into The Nightwhale, and perhaps the flute-adorned Enter The Ring." You can read the rest of the review here...

Bela Fleck, Rhapsody in Blue was released on February 12, 2024. "It's a long way from India to Broadway, but Bela Fleck makes the journey in high style for Rhapsody in Blue. It follows the altogether exotic As We Speak (Thirty Tigers, 2023), the combination of which further a case for the banjoist/composer/bandleader as an eclectic musical explorer comparable to Pat Metheny. Beginning in the slow-but-sure, occasionally fitful way this album's concept came together, "Rhapsody in Blue (grass)" features seemingly conventional banjo voicings alternated with George Gershwin's inimitable progressions. Those interludes with Fleck tourmates My Bluegrass Heart are segments capturing how that ensemble bonds with the banjoist in moments of alternating wit and empathy."

'Grats Bob! Very nice haul!

Vijay Iyer Trio, Compassion was released on Feb 2, 2024. "Vijay Iyer, Linda May Han Oh and Tyshawn Sorey are going from strength to strength, showing no sign of disbanding and wholly justifying the term Supergroup. Compassion is their second album as a trio, following 2021's Uneasy (ECM Records)." You can read the rest of the review here...

Annika Chambers, Kiss My Sass (album)

Andy Sheppard Quartet, Surrounded by Sea (album)

Brittany Howard, What Now was released on Feb 9, 2024. "So, as the new album’s title says, “What Now”? Well, for her Island Records debut, Howard has delivered a record that is every bit as uncompromising as its predecessor but much more fully realized — and it even includes a couple of bangers. The album opens with a virtual choir of Howards on the majestic “Earth Sign,” then follows with the gorgeous “I Don’t,” which sounds like an early ‘’70s soul hit by the Chi-Lites or the Delfonics — albeit with sweetly Auto-Tuned backing vocals. Things kick into high gear with the driving, funky title track — a fuzzed-out rocker with an intense, soaring chorus that’s the record’s most fan-pleasing and arguably most exciting song."

Hello JMichael and welcome to C!. We're glad you're hear!

Bill Frisell, Guitar In The Space Age

That should be Wile E Coyote on the falling rock. He's probably all analog though.

Ally Venable, Heart of Fire, guest appearances by Kenny Wayne Sheppard and Davon Allman

Max rules! They system is nice too!!!

Max rules!

Hello StanWit and welcome to C! We're glad you're hear. My first Carver piece was an M400t, and I bought it back in the early 80's.

Gregg Allman Live, Back to Macon GA. Look for this on your PBS station.

Stay off my lawn kid!

Chris Rea, The Road To Hell

I think so too. This is her latest studio album, produced by Keb Mo. It's one of my favorites of hers. She's also tough as nails. On her last European tour, she was coping with breast cancer, and she didn't miss a rehearsal or show while also undergoing chemotherapy.

Ana Popovic, Unconditional

I fixed it for you. If you're not happy with the change, just let me know how you want it.
