^Sweet. Really like Vetiver. Did you like Errant Charm? I think Tight Knit is still my favorite of the albums, but Wonder Why was one of the catchiest tunes of the year.


I'm actually not all that familiar with Vetiver.  I know some of their stuff (really like Wonder Why) but I haven't really tracked the majority of their stuff down.  The only reason I even knew them is because I was watching a documentary (180 South - it's about a free spirit that goes on a journey blah blah) and I heard Rolling Sea during one of the scenes and I instantly liked it so I Shazaam'd it.  It's funny but that's how I find the majority of the stuff I listen to.....an odd commercial or a background song in a bar and chase it from there.


Haha - that's awesome. Rolling Sea is the opening track on Tight Knit. Everyday is probably the most popular song on that album (It seems that way to me, at least), and I am surprised I haven't heard it on a commercial or TV show.

One of my closest friends, Laurelyn Dossett (PSU '83), has created a Christmas CD, The Gathering, that is getting good notice in places like the Chicago Sun-Times, American Songwriter and the WSJ..


Loved it.  Just bought it on iTunes.


The song cycle that is the heart of the CD was commissioned by the North Carolina symphony and scored. Laurelyn and her bandmates performed it with the symphony over Thanksgiving weekend:

This is my favorite of the six songs:

Song#6- Diamonds in the Pines - Finale of World Premiere of Dossett's "Gathering"


The version without the symphony is great, too, a quicker temp without a full orchestra trailing along... :)

Thanks Tim, I've been trying to find some bluegrass/folk type of music I like.  I had an obsession with the Wood Brothers about a year ago so I'm glad to have found Laurelyn's stuff.

That is a band I have been meaning to check out. I like the Drive-by Truckers a lot, but never listened to his stuff after he left.

I do like him on this stong:

PS - I never would've guessed you were a rock and roll guy.  What a nice surprise.

 ???  Saw ZZTop as a "warm up" band in '71, also saw Deep Purple, Sabbath, Humble Pie (twice), Uriah Heep, Alice Cooper, and Jethro Tull in the early 70's.   ;D

Pretty familiar with Jethro Tull and Deep Purple. Tull way too profound for me, and that flute. Oy. Smoke on the Water one of all time greats. Fits my wife's idea of what makes a great song, a great bass. Remember the Police's "Every Step You Take"? Same thing, great bass. That song made that band and Sting. 1 year before that song became a hit, The Police played in Poughkeepsie, and less than 100 people attended. Amazing.


True, great bass does make for a great song.

Just think about the White Stripes "7 Nations' Army".   It's what gives Metallic their sound.  It's why my favorite Zepplin song is "When the levie breaks".  It's why I like Teddy Nugent's "Stranglehold" so much.   :)

Do any of you guys use Spotify?  I just signed up and it's pretty cool.  I'd recommend it if you're a music person.

Ditto.

I'm so glad these guys are back making music together again. Can't wait for their new album.

Talk about getting a lot of music out of one guitar.  This video fascinated me - it's starting to go viral.

Clever, but also a good song. Very interesting to watch.
