What are you going to find here?
You’ll find some recommended texts, videos and whatever I think would be relevant or interesting.
Note: The order displayed within sections shows no preferences, as an album (or whatever) comes to mind it’ll pop here. I’ll try to have one a week.
“but what about ___” “how could you forget ___” etc. don’t fret on exclusions it’s one at a time, I’ll try not inundate the section with too much of an artist/maker etc in a row. Also never hate on someone that doesn’t know your favorite thing, just share it instead, so those you want to share it with can experience it too. Of course, don’t cram it down, you’re sharing not showing off. In the end that’s just like their opinion, man. Don’t dwell on trivial things, you can be mature enough to agree to disagree. Now I’ll get off my soapbox, it’s too high up there.

Some Cool Albums (Always more to come!)
Danny Gatton : Redneck Jazz Explosion Vol. I
If you want fusion, you got it. This albums combined aspects of funk, bluegrass, and jazz into a style that was defined by the combination of Buddy Emmons on pedal steel and Danny Gatton on the guit-fiddle (guitar for people not in the know). It’s actually a recording of a concert they did. A song I really dig from this recording is Song of India. It’s actually an interpretation of an opera by Rimsky Korsakov. Check the original that inspired the song. This album is pretty hard to find, but it is an amazing showcase of musicality and ingenuity in approaches to how effects can be used to texture tones. Simulating tones of Hammond organs with a chorus pedal modulating to an extent to mimic the traditional tones. Using phasers for spacey, almost synth-like, tones from a pedal steel guitar. More than the 2, the whole band is a great group that helps create the grooves. This album really has some fun grooves. You’ll find yourself jumping to the beat a little without realizing.
