John Watterson plays the occasional live show under the guise of 'Fake' Thackray. This album, and his live work are obviously a labour of love in helping keep the memory and music of Jake alive. His delivery is uncannily like Jake - it's hard to listen without continually having to remind yourself that it isn't the man himself singing.
 
 
 
 

Wonderful
 
My personal favourite:

I have enjoyed both of the CD's and this Live one, however, I find this a bit too much on the metal side of things, which with the folks in question is not surprising, however, TL is fine here, but really not as great a Chapman Stick player on this stuff, as I think things could be, and I think that some of this may have been due to the mix, which is all drums and guitar and incidental volume to the bass and keyboards, which makes them less valuable, and in my book (... in my book ... ), lowers the quality of the music all around.
 
But there are some really nice moments in here. Mostly based on JP's guitar work, though, I think.
 
After seeing Nick Beggs with SW, I am thinking that he and Don Schiff (Rocket Scientists -- from LA), are probably the best two Stick players in rock music. Maybe I'm thinking that TL is studying the notes a bit too much. He was much freer and loose with PG and better, although with KC, it's both in my estimation.

Just bought Djam Karet's latest and Cairo's Say (as mentioned before), but have to add that they are both excellent in their own ways!  Now off to listen to Dave's addition above (can my budget handle more???!  LOL!).

Wonderful song, heartbreaking video, extraordinary closing solo by Guthrie Govan.
 

 
 
 
 

A brief intellectual respite

Currently in the CD player in the car:

• A marvellous collection of Jake Thackray's unrecorded and unfinished songs performed by John Watterson. This guy captures every nuance and idiosyncrasy of the man himself to such an extent you get the uncanny feeling you're listening to Jake himself.
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Excellent 2 CD Big Country best-of compilation. RIP Stuart.

I've only heard of Chris Poland on his album, but the rest are very good at what they do.  A bit of everything in here.....jazz, funk, prog, rock etc.... 
 

I didn't hear any Gangsta Rap... 
 
Guess I'll have to check out more from him!  (I can already see parts of my next paycheck disappearing as usual...)
