Music for the weekend morning, coffee and the one-hitter:

Red Garland – Red Alert

Stan Getz & Joao Gilberto (feat Antonio Carlos Jobim) – Getz / Gilberto

Bobby Hutcherson – Ambos Mundos

Jake Xerxes Fussell S\T

Oh yeah, these two are new to the collection and in heavy rotation:

John Renbourn – Faro Annie

New album from The Milk Carton Kids. "All The The Things That I Did and All The Things That I Didn't Do." Seems to cover everything. 

These guys are great. Saw them again the other night. They went from a twosome with amazing guitars and harmonies to touring as a six piece band including fiddle and pedal steel.

I have to find this album on vinyl because it is completely unavailable on CD

Saw Primus last night. Tremendous! Taking a soccer break from rushing oil on a wooden boat and listening to the Country Gentlemen, some real solid Sunday bluegrass.

I saw Rob Ickes and Trey Hensley play at Fur Peace

last night (after a solid Jorma set).

They did a rousing BE Women, Pride And Joy and FOTD among other

originals and covers. Highly recommended!

Getting my post Dead & Co show morning a going with some Dan Hicks & his Hot Licks

Yes, they are GREAT! Saw them headlining the bluegrass part of the Utah Arts Festival last Saturday. Trey Hensley is a lightning fast guitarist.

I listened to “Rocky Mountain high” by John Denver then I listened to a bunch of mountain songs, First There is a Mountain, Fire On The Mountain, Rocky Mountain Way and on and on and on there are a lot of mountain songs I listened to “Henry” too it doesn’t have mountain in the title but they sing about riding a car down a mountain with weed in it.

Aqueous.  A jamband that also reminds me of some of the music filed under the "psych" label.  Some vox, but a lot of long instrumental jams that build nicely.  Serious music, but has warmth and not annoyingly proggy.

At the moment I am enjoying SLY ATFS Theres A Riot Going On. Had a nice record store visit this weekend, picking up Mushroom- Glazed Popems and a comp called Outlaws and Armadillos put out by the country music HOF. This comp is pretty fucking awesome.  Glazed Popems is 2 disc called "London" and "Oakland". So far hearing these guys do the Canterbury prog thing has London in the lead.

Just picked up Tower of Powers latest album, "Soul side of Town"  (just put it on)

Jimmy Smith - Back at the Chicken Shack

That JJ Cale Naturally Album is one of my top records ever.  Used to pick them up in vinyl for 1.99 all the time and give them to friends.

Van Morrison- The Alternative Moondance

Wooden Shjips – V

Pretty great stuff, Alias. I think it's a toss-up between Naturally and Troubadour for my favorite J.J. Cale record.

I've been traveling and out of doors every weekend, and trying to limit it to one LP from whatever town I'm in. Today I grabbed this one, not a lot of grooves on it and it's kind of dense / intense, but it rocks:

Billy Hart – Enchance

We listened to that new Nathan Salsburg title again, on the beach this time; super relaxing and highly recommended.

V/A - African Scream Contest: Raw & Psychedelic Afro Sounds from Benin & Togo 70s

http://analogafrica.bandcamp.com/album/african-scream-contest-raw-psyche...

I been listenin to my heart beat

through the record-breaking heat

when we were born in time.

A lot of Dave Holland lately for some reason. Conference of the Birds, Not for Nothin', Gateway and Gateway 2, Circling In - for starters.

Enjoying a little political folk music from a house party, streamed on FB.  I first had the pleasure of mixing Chris Chandler at the Oregon Country fair eons ago, been a huge fan ever since!

Elkhorn – Lionfish

"In the fall of 2017, Drew Gardner, the electric guitarist in the guitar duo Elkhorn, had a life-changing, mystical experience eighty feet underwater while scuba diving in Belize. Exploring the lush barrier reef fifty miles off the coast, he saw a particularly intriguing lionfish, and, mesmerized by its great beauty, reached out his hand to this wondrous animal.

Lionfish are gorgeously proportioned, elaborately decorated beasts, plumed in the manner of Quetzalcoatl with eighteen hypodermic spines, each holding a payload of powerful neurotoxic venom. Making contact at the exact point where man and God fail to touch in Michelangelo's "The Creation of Adam", the lionfish injected Gardner in the tip of his right index finger. At that moment, Gardner says, “the spirit of all creation was delivered instantly to the core of my heart.”

Gardner brought back samples of the venom and shared it with the other half of Elkhorn, the twelve-string acoustic guitar-fingerpicking Jesse Sheppard. Raised by a father with a storied career as an expert psycho-pharmacologist, Sheppard had inherited extensive expertise on the preparation and testing of psychoactive drugs. He quickly refined the venom into a powdered form just as potent as the original.

As a band, Elkhorn spent several weeks experimenting with different dosages of the drug, using it to fuel long electric/acoustic guitar improvisations exploring the fabric of the universe from within the intertwining spaces of mind and sound. As they experimented, it soon became clear that Gardner’s right index finger would continue to bear a scar from his encounter with the lionfish, to which he credits a permanent improvement in his guitar tone.

At 11:09PM on the evening of December 2nd, 2017, a day now known as “Lionfish Day,” Gardner and Sheppard each snorted two enormous lines of lionfish powder from the surface of a mirror adorned with the silkscreened image of Bill Kreutzmann’s face. They then proceeded to capture the recording you have in your hands at the band’s Sharktooth studio in New York City.

Each of these two extended improvisations, “Lion” and “Fish,” were timed to correspond with the peak effect of the lionfish venom as it opened and focused their minds, connecting them with the ambiguous beauty, danger and mystery of nature."
