Thank you, gbougard, for that touching homage to Gregory Isaacs.
I can't believe he's gone. Truly sad this year in the reggae world… losing Sugar Minott earlier
this year and now Gregory Isaacs. You can still drop any of Gregory's classic songs and you'll
never get tired of it. Pure quality and timeless music. -
sucks about gregory isaacs. people dying left and right. i was burning to the man's music literally the day before he passed.
my favorite Isaacs song. plus his swag is through the roof in the video
Rest in Peace Cool Ruler
ps you are one lucky mofo to have watched him perform in studio my man. thanks for the great read

Much respect to the great man - love his music, he also worked with and influenced other tremendous artists. He won't be forgotten. Some fine fine tunes . . .
I'm not going to list him in my meagre selection - too much to choose, so this is just a few out one of the playlists that I'm currently listening to:
Ain't No Easy Way - Black Rebel Motorcycle Club
Somebody Knocking - Robert Plant
OMGCD - The Low Anthem
Our Swords - Band of Horses
Nobody's Baby Now - Nick Cave & The Bad SeedsSorted out about 40 thousand tracks so far and thought about rying make an "Ironheart" playlist - not by reference but by sound, whatever the hell that might be - answers on a postcard pls.

From Kilkenny, IR.

Album: Mr. Wonderful -
Apologies Geo, not gonna call Gout part of an IH playlist, though I wouldn't rule out similar sounding punk music.
Personally, I'd call High on Fire to the front of the line.

I'll be catching Black Mountain with The Black Angels on tuesday. cant wait!!
-
can do. i ordered one of those blue microphones that clips onto an iphone and im hoping it comes in on monday so i can record the show.
we played a festival with black mountain in norway a couple years ago and they were amazing. really looking forward to seeing them again.

in the future is hard to top. the more i listen to wilderness heart the more i love it though.

Just rediscovered Bongzilla…

riffblaster… any post show black mountain review? theyre playing the el rey here the day before thanksgiving.
-
yes! thanks for reminding me…..
it was a two band show. I really like Black Angels' albums but live it gets really repetitive and sort of boring. I have a short attention span so after a little while they sort of lost me. I think if i was on drugs i would have probably enjoyed it alot more. That said, their new record is great, just not the best thing to stand up and watch.
Black Mountain was GREAT. Mostly stuff from the new record. They played all of the "heavy" songs on the new one as well as one of the acoustic tracks (buried by the blues). They didnt play the hair song which i was sorta surprised by. a good selection from in the future as well.....stormy high, wucan, stay free, angels. from the first record they only played druganaut (and j mascis sat in on guitar which was awesome). i would have loved to hear dont run our hearts around and queens will play but the set was great. good energy, good pacing, they sounded amazing and were super tight. they played about an hour and a half and it flew by. dont miss em!!!!

Humbly submitted for forum approval…
This song, somewhat for its lyrics and theme, somewhat for the 'rolicking' melody and syncopation, could work as part of an IH playlist. Definately fits my interpretation of 'Americana', in a bit of a abstract/esoteric, but appropriate way.
Artist(s): Nomeansno
Song: Heaven is in the Dust Beneath My Shoes
Album: All Roads Lead to AusfahrtPlus, they're punk rock grandpas.
