Chantry Posted January 22, 2017 Posted January 22, 2017 The music Tom Jones was singing in the 70's was definitely not to my tastes and still isn't, so I never gave much thought to whether he was a talented musician. However since 2010 he has released 3 albums that are very different from his previous musical choices. Here he is doing a cover of a John Lee Hooker song. Quote
Allie Mo, SASS No. 25217 Posted January 23, 2017 Posted January 23, 2017 Thanks Chantry! That was a real surprise. Quote
Pat Riot Posted January 24, 2017 Posted January 24, 2017 Ha...Tom's a Rocker! I have always kind of liked his music but I think it has more to do with the era he was popular. That was a happy time in my young life. Quote
Rooster Ron Wayne Posted January 24, 2017 Posted January 24, 2017 I know I know . I could not stand to hear Willy Nelson singing for a long time. Now the Older I get the More I love his sound . But then again . The Older I get . The better I was. Just saying . LOL Quote

Blackwater 53393 Posted January 24, 2017 Posted January 24, 2017 I never expected to find myself being a fan of Cindy Lauper!! Her second album had some cuts that caught my attention and showed that she had more than that silly "Girls Just Wanna' Have Fun" schtick going for her. As time has progressed, she has unveiled more than I'd have ever dreamed. She released a BLUES album a couple of years ago that was, as they say, OFF THE HOOK!! Weird, but I'm a FAN!! Quote
Pat Riot Posted January 24, 2017 Posted January 24, 2017 Loved Tom in Mars Attacks! Me too. That movie is hilarious. Quote
Yellowhouse Sam # 25171 Posted January 24, 2017 Posted January 24, 2017 You'd never believe someone raised on the Texas Playboys, Ernest Tubb, Lefty Frizzell, and the like would ever even begin to appreciate the Stones....especially the guitar riffs. Well, in all, some of their music sounds a lot more country than whats out there now. Quote

Rye Miles #13621 Posted January 24, 2017 Posted January 24, 2017 (edited) Never thought I'd be liking bluegrass but I'm amazed at the way some of those fiddlers play! Awesome!! It's great down to earth home grown music! Edited January 24, 2017 by Rye Miles #13621 Quote

It's great down to earth home grown music! Rye, I went on Pandora and found "Instrumental Folk Music". I liked it so much I created my own station on there. Of course once you start "liking" certain songs Pandora plays more songs in the style that you "thumbs up" so my station is now more or less instrumental Blue Grass....and I used to be a Metal head. 1 Quote
Tennessee Stud Posted January 25, 2017 Posted January 25, 2017 Seveal months ago... was in the Wildhorse up in music-city. Sittin' at a table with a former manager fella... from a guy named John Anderson (hit-single... Swinggin')... and then the scarred-up guy at our table got up... and went and sang. Surprise like. Bocephus (sp?)... is that how you pronounce that name? But that fella can sing some good stuff... not just country stuff. He is shore scarred up some... like me... but his is much lot worst. He got hit in the head with a ugly-stick... dam. Not sure how he survived even... why he didn't report it none. gosh... he's tuff, no doubt. The way I look at it... he's lucky to be alive. Am still tryin' to evaluate his gift to me... expensive... and I don't know him. Wonder what he wants in return. My only savin' grace... I don't have anythin' to give.... and I'm ```````````````` Quote
Pat Riot Posted January 25, 2017 Posted January 25, 2017 Speakin' of Musicians you never expected to like, I just heard a Blue Grass song by Steve Martin, yes, "The Jerk". It was called "Saga of the Old West" by Steve Martin and The Steep Canyon Rangers on the album The Crow. I really liked it. Quote
Yellowhouse Sam # 25171 Posted January 25, 2017 Posted January 25, 2017 (edited) Check out "Waiting on a Friend"! Good! Aside from the Stones Skynryd looms! This might be a favorite Tuesdays Gone Edited January 25, 2017 by Yellowhouse Sam # 25171 Quote
Chantry Posted January 25, 2017 Author Posted January 25, 2017 I'll add that the advent of iTunes, Amazon and the various streaming internet sites opens up an entire new world for musicians and genres you never would have heard of before and the opportunity to check music for free before buying it.
