All-time Fav's:

Chicago VII by Chicago
The Master and the Musician by Phil Keaggy

Edit: I'm waffling between Keaggy's The Master and the Musician, and The Wind and the Wheat .
Two awesome albums, different styles.

Current Fav's:

Lonely Runs Both Ways by Alison Krauss & Union Station
The Road to Here by Little Big Town

Wow that hard looking back over 40 years. So I will base it on play time I put them through. The white album and a tie between Crosby, Stills, Nash and young Four Way Street and Derick and the Dominos

I cannot pinpoint an all-time favourite album. The trouble is, I listen to it TOO much, and get aural fatigue.

Bechya never heard of them!!!!

My fave at the MOMENT is "the Bridgerow Sessions", by Martyn Joseph and Steve Knightely.....



..completely pared down and raw, just Martyns' cedar-topped Lowden and Steve's mandocello, built by UK Luthier David Oddy. Shockingly beautiful.

Their voices are also raw, as you can tell already, I am NOT a fan of slick, well produced, computer post-edited modulated vocals. Takes the fun out of music.

If I could write songs like them, I'd be chuffed.



Second Album?



Gotta be Iona's "Open Sky" They are a Celtic-Rock band, although they hate being labelled as so, with the singer Joanna Hogg having the most beautiful female voice I have heard on this earth.

I like music that is experimental, and very visual. I suppose that's the artist in me.

There's a chap called Dave Bainbridge in the band who is just an awesome guitarist and master of all instruments stringed. It was partially listening to his wonderful playing that made me want to build my Cittern.

Troy Donokely plays the Uilleann pipes like they OUGHT to be played.

I'll stick to the 2-item limit, cruel as that is.
Basically my 'Desert Island' records would be:

Robert Johnson-King of the Delta Blues Singers

Muddy Waters-Hard Again

Oh sam, I'll second Iona as an altime fav.

Wind and wheet - Keaggy
U2 - Unforgettable fire


Stryper - to hell with the devil (that's for Lance and his spandex wearing days)



Wanted to insert the picture of Lance and his band back in the day but couldn't find it.

Hey Alain, and Hesh took one of mine, Miles Davis' Kind of Blue, (I see you've also got the Miles 75th anniversary re-issue, re-mixed on the old three track, great isn't it). So I'm gonna pick two others. No I'm not.

Miles Davis, Kind of Blue
John Coltrane, A love Supreme.

They freed music from it's straight Jacket.

Pink Floyd (you know the one...) and probably Hotel California is in the mix somewhere. Heck, I can't pick a number two...but it's "Moon" for No. 1.

#1 all time would be Derek and the Dominoes- Just a great album with Clapton and Duane Allman trading licks!
#2 would be...Allman Bros.-Eat a Peach
