 I can't stop listening to Tom Petty and Jackson Browne. Now, my friends, that is rock and roll.

But there are only so many Tom Petty and Jackson Browne CDs, and even though I have rock-heaven ProAcs, I will need some new material. Who else should I check out?

Thanks, ladies and gents, now returning you to your irregularly scheduled programming, roger, over, wilco, and in. out. check. signing off.

 The first time I heard them I thought it was Jackson Browne. (Turns out he does do a little bit of back-up on a few tracks.)

Time Spent In Los Angeles, If I Wanted Someone, Moon In The Water, and A Little Bit Of Everything have been given semi-regular airplay on XPN over the past few months.

Been listening to Alejandro Escovedo and Diego Garcia lately too.

 Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere and After the Goldrush from Neil, and Younger Than Yesterday and Notorious Byrd Brothers from the Byrds.

Into the Purple Valley by Ry Cooder is great in a similar folk/roots/Americana vein.

Feats Don't Fail Me Now from Little Feat, too.

The Jayhawks' Tomorrow the Green Grass might please you.

Good luck and happy hunting!

 ...as someone who also appreciates them - one of the best songwriters and one of the best American rockers - here's a list, but I'd focus on some of their earlier work:

Little Feat
Linda Ronstadt
Bonnie Raitt
Neil Young
Boz Scaggs
Bruce Hornsby
Allman Brothers
Pretenders
Steve Winwood
Eric Clapton
Doobie Brothers
Sting
Santana
Dire straits
Van Morrison
James Taylor
Steely Dan

 DL was the guitar player behind those early Jackson Browne sides. They still tour together. RT has been playing roots steeped rock since the '60s. Both are monster guitar players and song writers.

Check them out on youtube.

 ...he is terrific, but his first album after he left Traffic, "Alone Together" is the classic and one of my all-time favorites.

 ...reminds me a little of some of Jackson Browne's stuff with his piano driven songs.

His first few albums are good, "Night on the Town" is a terrific song and his jazz-oriented album, "Harbor Lights", is a very good recording and I think it may have won some award.

He's an interesting guy who has prodcued and played with many terrific people including the Greatful Dead.

His lead guitar player, George Marinelli, now plays with Bonnie Raitt's band.

 

Yup! “Alone Together” is a great suggestion. [nt], posted on June 24, 2012 at 15:47:35

 ...Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young

Steven Stills solo and Manassas work is really good.

Then for a more jazzy flavor, Stills is on the terrific album, "Super Session" which was recently remastered and sounds excellent.

 his borrowing of jackson's style and thanked him on the 'road tested' cd or video. likewise, kenny g did so to grover washington jr whose style he emulates.

at least these guys are honest.

 Wow. Thanks....so many great suggestions.
Espcially many I have loved in the past and haven't listened to since I have been so into jazz the last 15 years.

Just a couple that I immediately want to get having been reminded of you nice folks...
Early Young, and always meant to get a CD of On the Beach
Ry Cooder, definitely
Stevie Winwood
Dire Straights
Dave Mason
Birds
Joni Mitchell
David Lindley and Richard Thompson definitely, DL is killer on JB
CSNY .... I just recently got a CD of Crosby's CD ...If only I could remember my name...
Have recently got back into Little Feat
Have never stopped listening to the Dead
Boz Scaggs
First two doobies...
and I need to go get the Cars, and Tres Hombresl
And I never stopped listening to the Stones, well got a couple CDs a couple years ago...or Henbdrix, or Floyd, or AC/DC. Or Stevie Ray.
Need to check out Hornsby and the Jayhawks...

Just that I've been getting into Petty and Browne as some less heavy but just really good rock, and would like to find some more.

Last night I went to Hastings and got 461 Ocean Blvd, listening to now; Boston (the one where Tom Scholtz played everything, never knew that), and The Alman Brothers at Filmore East.

And the Alman Brothers and Clapton raise the point:

I really long for great rock that is recorded well. The cymbals are non-existent on these CDs. And the Clapton says "Clapton Remasters." I guess they just didn't lay the info down back in the day. After spending much time in the last couple months listening to Stanley Clark (jazz in the garden), Best of the Modern Jazz Quartet, Tethered Moon, and a few other jazz CDs that are so incredibly well recorded, in the process of selecting speakers, I miss the cymbals. I ended up with ProAc One SCs, and what they do with cymbals is a big reason.

And I just am not connected with more contemporary rock, to know who I'd like, but would be really well recorded. I love Nirvana but have not gotten into a lot of the alternate rock from Seattle and since, like...huh, can't name any.

Anyway....thank you!

Can anybody loan me a couple hundred bucks?

Jim

 Thank you for the excellent suggestion. Got into Beethoven from Clockwork Orange. Have many versions of the ninth, plus other Ludwig Vans. Also some scattered other classical but only seem to listen to either Bernstein's NY Symphony or the Cleveland Symphony versions of the ninth.

 The archetypal introspective/romantic/soft-rocking/singer/songwriter! Despite his occasional MOR tendencies, there is much to love in his catalog.

Try Sweet Baby James or JT if you don't already have them.

 Give "Cold Roses" a listen, and tell me that you don't hear echos of Tom Petty & Jackson Browne...!

 I second Alejandro Escovedo, who also played in Rank and File and True Believers. Boxing Mirror, Street Songs of Love and Real Animal are all worth checking out. I haven't made it to his earlier albums yet, but am on the way.

John Hiatt has a large catalog, but I always go back to the Bring the Family, Stolen Moments and Slow Turning period.

Chris Isaak is another artist I typically like most everything he does. I enjoy all his stuff from Silvertone through The Baja Sessions. Beyond the Sun is a recent favorite where he covers tunes from the Sun Records label.

 Ah yes Chris Isaak, I just missed seeing him in Albuquerque last summer. I'm going to see if the local CD shop has the one that made him famous. And I will have to check out the others.

I went out last night and got Neil Young's Harvest. There are remasters for Harvest, Everyone Knows this is Nowhere, After the Goldrush, and Neil Young.
The sound is excellent! Thanks much for the recommendation. I was a big fan as a teenager and most of the songs I could play were his but I got out of that since.

Also picked up Led Zeppelin 1. Wow. Page is so good. Good Times Bad Times loses nothing to AC/DC in terms of sheer punch.

Thanks a lot.

I haven't seen this album mentioned yet. It is one of my favourites of recent years. Jonathan Wilson produced the Dawes albums in his own studio. He records with analogue gear. I believe he also played live with Jackson Bowne. Anyway, definitel try this album, it has a beautiful warm sound to it.
