Just seen we share a birthday. Happy birthday for Tuesday 🎂

Totally agree with you on Rush @ubit. Rush are phenomenal. I can't stand them, but there is no denying how good they are. I do however stand by my original suggestion, and do think there are plenty of other overrated acts mentioned on here.

Was thinking the same on another thread. Pub a drank in as a teenager everyone had to keep the noise down when Minder was on! No catch up, +1 or Youtube then.

I had just looked to see what interesting music show was on BBC4 tonight. Guess I'll have to make my own entertainment.

Now that is a good call, although I have seen some love from others on here for his excellent later material (check out the album Frank).

Catching back up with Corduroy after @TheGreek mentioned them on the Underrated thread. I guess they just didn't 'fit in'. Great musicianship, good songs - well worth investigating if you like old soul, or crossover jazz styles.

I knew Jim briefly when he worked at Mojo. Nice guy.

Good call!

OK, just for fun, overrated in my book has to be Bryan Adams. A 27th rate Bruce Springsteen, and yet everyone loves THAT song. Underrated - an amazing band who had a fabulous hit in the 80s but also have a great body of work that nobody else except @BigRedX have heard of, Furniture.

Bit of a throwback to my Big Band rhythm guitar playing days, enjoying Ella Fitzgerald sings the Duke Ellington Songbook. Lovely!

OK, I'll knock that ball in a slightly different direction, albeit staying on German TV. This to me is how live performances ought to be.

I shouldn't work...and it doesn't 😖

Like that a lot. I think French is my favourite musical language (despite a lack of understanding)!

Could have been seeing Hamish tonight in Chichester 😕

Caught this on Huey Morgan's show this morning - blooming gorgeous!

You have one hell of a worm infestation there.

Is there an echo in here?

Documentary last night on BBC4 and now on iPlayer. Equal parts fascinating and sad (just to see/remember how quick his downfall was). Bonus is there are two more stills used in the documentary of Elvis with a P Bass that I don't think have been widely circulated before! https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b09kkkbx/elvis-the-rebirth-of-the-king

So is that drummer. Snare is tighter than a very tight thing in the middle of tight week.

Heard a track from a Misty in Roots Peel Session this afternoon on 6 Music. Couple of complete sessions on youtube. Here's one for your collective pleasure.

Not a fan of Hank then 😄

Great track.

Interesting pickups. Great work. Oh, and nice vintage sewing machine 😎

Just added a bit of rock to my list - Ramble On. This could keep me busy until lockdown is over!

You want a good job on Ray Charles do you know the John Mayer Trio album with Pino and Steve Jordan?
