This is my personal music blog of everything I listen to. Many of it reflects the mood I am in. I enjoy all kinds of music but mostly: Classical, Classic Rock, Stoner Rock, Blues, Blues Rock, Jazz, Jazz Fusion, Funk, worldly, world folk.

You'll enjoy it overtime. Feel free to post. Let's start off with something pleasing to the ear.

Francisco Tárrega - Capricho árabe

This song sounds very much like a tribute to Eddie Hazel of Funkadelic. It's been said that if Eddie Hazel was in another bad he would have been one of the greats. It's sad to say that Funkadelic held back his talent or fame but he was by all means one of the greats. True enthusiast remember Maggot Brain. That song showed the world how Eddie played guitar. Eddie put so much of himself into the songs Maggot Brain and California Dreamin'. He gets into a trance and makes his guitar sing.

If you have never heard of Eddie Hazel (The Parliament & Funkadelic) or John Frusciante (Red Hot Chili Peppers), let me be you guide.

Before The Beginning - John Frusciante

Speaking of singing guitars.

Gary Clark Jr. - Catfish Blues [LIVE]

Many covers to this song. Crossroads was such a good festival so I'll choose this version. The entire place was sold out. The best bands around assembled for the 2010 Crossroads Guitar Festival. Here is:

John Mayer with Ain't No Sunshine.

There is something about this recording that is so awesome. The backstory polishes the awe it brings.



This song drifts you away on a soulful and melodic musical journey. One you will never regret hearing over and over again.

Stevie Ray Vaughan *Riviera Paradise* Dolby Digital 5.1

Catchy and chaotic. They definitely make those instruments moan.

Charles Mingus - Moanin'

I first heard this song and saw the video in high school. Someone ripped the live CD off the interwebs and played it while we got stoned. It blew my mind. I had heard Dave Matthews Band before but not like this. I also learned who Warren Haynes was that day. I had heard the Allman Brothers Band before of course but I never knew who its members were. Warren Haynes also plays in a jam band called Gov't Mule. Great band to check out.

I think this is the greatest DMB performance I've ever seen. This is one of those concerts you wish you could have been at.

Dave Matthews Band - Cortez, The Killer (Live In Central Park)

Gary Clark Jr. blows my mind every time I hear him play. When I found out he grew up in Austin, Texas it all made sense. Of course he jams with this much skill and soul. He grew up in the heart of soul and rock and roll. South by Southwest anyone? Austin is the place to be if you want Southern and Blues rock in my opinion. The BBQ is damn good too. Great beer in fact. Amazing music, beer and BBQ. God bless Texas.

Onto the music!

Look at the intensity of the band while they play. GCJ and his drummer Johnny Radelat are so into the music. It's refreshing to see bands out there playing at this level and putting their all into the music.


Amazing Performance by Gary Clark Jr. - When My Train Pulls In



10:07 is pretty funny. GCJ is jamming his all and the bassist is just left in the dust kinda strumming along. heh
