You may like Taylor Davis, not dubstep violin, but nice violin...

Tony Desare: How I Will Say I Love You
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ugYZ_IBBOCM
Annie is in Key West with her sisters, on a girls week down there. I'm jealous, and stuck here in RI. This is sort of our song. (We were at "Young Tony's" concert in Ft. Lauderdale last month, front row seats at a superb concert, we requested this song and he sang it for us. Then we drank champagne with him after the show). So this is my song to her ... although she's probably not monitoring this site!
BAP: Verdamp Lang Her

Yeah, my favorite guys from Deutschland.

Wolfgang Niedecken: Verdamp Lang Her
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=8-Q91WRsR_E
"The Springsteen of Deutschland," Wolfgang was the founder of the German band BAP and this is his signature song. This is Wolf singing his song, post BAP. He's aged considerably in the past few years (compared to my previous posts, i.e. how he looked in 2001 https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=DB1RaK6ISPY), he now looks a bit like Anthony Quinn did in the nineties, but his music is still superb.
I apologize for the poor amateur video, obviously done by a cretin. I mean, how difficult is it to do an acceptable video these days even with basic tools available? Fortunately, the audio is good.
Mark Knopfler: Brothers In Arms
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=vBadAVsdixk
I posted this last September, but I'm listening to it again right now. And that's what this thread is all about, isn't it?
Mark is one if the great ones. Along with SRV, I can pick out his style a mile away. This particular performance is from a concert in Berlin, 2007.
Anybody else listening to music tonight?
John Gorka and Antje Duvekot: Love is Our Cross to Bear
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=9WGXvXxJM8I
This is a John Gorka song with a little help from Antje Duvekot. They're both great folk singers. This performance was at a bookstore somewhere in PA. I've seen them both perform separately in different venues in CT. Both excellent concerts.
OK, as long as I'm still doing this tonight ...
Vintage Lucinda Williams: Something About What Happens When We Talk
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=HArLuaTHlzg
This is from her prime years in the eighties, an Austin City Limits performance. She looked pretty hot then. She's still a great performer today, but ...
Lucinda Williams, present day. Still very talented thirty years later, but ...

The hair, the hair ...
But this is proof that old folks can still make pretty damn good music.
Tab Benoit: Nothing Takes the Place Of You
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=PdMee_WClRk
Contemporary blues, for those of you who think the blues genre is dead and done ... it isn't.
Muzzy - "Insignia"

Big beat + drum-n-bass + electro + trap in one massive track--put your headphones on and crank the volume.
More blues ...
Brooklyn Rhythm & Blues Band: Same Old Blues
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=yBJn7LdklxQ
Some of the artists appear to be different than the Brooklyn Rhythm & Blues Project that Toyman introduced us to last year (shout-out to Toyman for that), hence the different name I assume, but it's the same studio in Breukelen, Netherlands (Breukelen / Brooklyn ... get it?). There's some excellent contemporary Blues and R&B with heavy U.S. influence coming out of that studio, but with excellent studio musicians. The keyboard player is phenomenal. You'd be hard-pressed to distinguish a Dutch accent coming from the singer.
This could be a Chicago juke-joint any night of the week. But it's the Netherlands.

Baltimore Blues No. 1
Local guys from RI who made good nationally. Very talented group of artists ... but it must piss off the pro musicians in the band to see their prima donna lead man eff'ed up on booze and drugs during a performance. Too bad. Despite that, they're pretty damned good. But I just wish John McCauley could stay straight during a show.
Omar Akram: Miracle
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=WLJmq6w9Nl0
A few years ago this genre was called New Age. I thought that was a pretty good name for it. In a feeble attempt to modernize it, it's now called "Spa" music. That sucks. How can you modernize "New Age?" Anyway, there's been some good New Age music (which I still call it) for listening and relaxing over the past thirty years or so. Omar Akram is a contemporary genius in the genre. It's a good way to close out the evening.
