You might look at the Zoom H4 Zoom H4 from zZounds.com! I have a friend that use one to record music and lectures and is happy with it.

You might try: Otis Span - Last Call - this is a live album Pinetop Perkins - Live at Antone's or Live at 85 Ann Rabson - In A Family Way Roosevelt Sykes - The Honeydripper - this is killer Prof. Longhair and Dr. John are also favorites Any Rod Piazza and The Mighty Flyers album that...

Rusted Root - from When I Woke 1. Drum Trip 2. Ecstasy 3. Send Me On My Way

Dick Heckstall-Smith is a sax player who had a big contribution to British blues. Check out his cd Blues and Beyond. Another recommendation is Sinner Street by Jimmy Thackery and the Drivers. Killer guitar and sax all in one package.

I agree with you Coltrane. I gave up a long time ago trying to understand why people like the music they do or trying to influence anyone's taste in music. You are so right that what's popular or played on the radio has nothing much to do with anything when discussing music. In a couple...

Wounded Bird Recordings has been re-releasing a lot of the Maynard Ferguson's CBS catalog. You can't go to far wrong with any of the M.F. Horn recordings. M.F. Horn 2 is a personal favorite. I had the pleasure of seeing his band 6 or 7 times over the years. The last time was in a shopping mall...

I saw Jason Isbell last night. For about 2 1/2 hours rock was not dead!

Jimmy Thackery and John Mooney - Sideways In Paradise Colin James - National Steel Joe Lewis Walker - Silvertone Blues Jorma Kaukonen - Blue Country Heart Luther Allison - Hand Me Down My Moonshine Peter Green - Hot Foot Powder

I've found most of the stuff on Telarc is pretty well done. A few I'd recommend as being excellent blues and good recording quality: Whiskey Story - Jimmy Thackery and Tab Benoit -a fav of mine Homesick for the Road - Tab Benoit/Debbie Davies/Kenny Neal Healing Time - Ronnie Earl Hell or...

try Tesla's Five Man Acoustical Jam - live cd, all heavy rock acoustic, a great cd.

I agree that G-Love is more blues funk than hip-hop. I'm kind of partial to Philadelphonic as a favorite G-Love cd.

I'm not the best as saying someone sounds like someone else but you might give one of Kelly Joe Phelps cds a try or Amos Lee. Those are a couple of my late night chillin' artist. Another good late night chillin' cd if you like the blues is Peter Green's Splinter Group - Hot Foot Powder.

I use the cable with the SLVR. It works well and let's me use any phone I want. I tried the USB phones that came with the SLVR for about 5 minutes which was about 3 minutes more then I needed to realize they suck. I just wish they would have designed the phone with a stereo mini jack built in...

Perhaps when you weren't around they did some critical listening tests between the HF-1, HD-580 and SA-5000 and took the one they liked the best. Hope you find them.

Sounds like you know a lot about what you what from your axe. Why don't you just find a good guitar shop and start experimenting until you find one that makes the hairs on the back of your neck stand up. You'll know when you find the right one.
