Sung in Gaelic, Dúlamán is my favorite song from Altan.  Many of their songs are a little hard to get into, but Dúlamán is light, happy, and totally fun.   It bounces between verse and chorus very quickly like much folk music.   Remember, folk music is generally music you sing and play not nessessarly preformed, so it is usually fairly simple and straight forward with lovely melodies and harmonies.

 

There is a nice little instrument bridge at about 1:50 that moves to a full chorus at 2:08

 

 

 

 

More Irish folk but in a totally different vein...a totally fun bawdy drinking song.  This is a story song and each verse gets more and more far-fetched and exaggerated lyrically.  It's kind of like a music joke, so if you don't listen to the whole thing you don't get the punch that would be in a punchline of a spoken joke. 

 

I also like this song because I got drunk with these guys back in the late 90's :)

I really like this!  It isn't as good or even as dramatic as the original, but it is interesting, well produced, and funny...fun metal...whoda thunkit ?

 

 

Dire Straits - Sultans of Swing (one of my all time favorite songs) ...just in case you want a quick comparison or a ear cleanse

====================================================================================================

 

If this version of Africa doesn't appeal to you, at least skip ahead to 2:06 to sample the chorus.  Then at 4:06 there is a different song where they promote their respective YouTube channels and Patreon.  Very clever and well produced.  Fun stuff. 

 

 

Toto - Africa (previously posted) original for referance

I LOVE STEVE MILLER BAND!  I've been hooked on Steve Miller from the Boz Scaggs days on Children of the Future and Sailor.  Great stuff...now I gotta go listen to Space Cowboy...bet you weren't ready for that :)

In a way it's kind of a shame that "Born to be Wild" gets so much air time and has in the 70s 80s 90s 00s and now even the 10s.  Even though it is a rock anthem now and an icon of the late 60s early 70s, the raw aspect of it, which was its original attraction, seems a bit jaded...still a good tune, but, to me, much of it's mojo has been sucked out over the years.

 

Here is another from the same album.  All of these Steppenwolf songs were "heavy" in the dawn of heavy rock.  Sookie Sookie

It's a early 80s value pack!    ...with The Verve 90s cherry on top!

 

These songs make me feel like I should find my gnarly Walkman, Moonwalk down to the club and imbibe a few Long Island Ice Teas and a couple of Slippery Nipples.  :)  Totally tubular!

i often wonder can popular music get much better than this

i remember  hearing this for the first time in the 70s and it just blew me away

jan ackkerman isjust a genius with a guitar

one of the true great guitarists

These Korean kids play so squeaky clean it's amazing.  Their name is Dream Session and from what I can tell, I guess some of the personnel changes from time to time for some Korean reason.  I think it may be a university band and players graduate and newbies join.  From what I could get out of the google translation, they are auditioning a drummer in this video...maybe? (the candidate is in the split screen)

 

Even if you don't like jazz, spend just minute with these superb musical technicians.   I guess I really like this because they already act like real session players.  There is a beautiful short bass solo at 2:09 to 2:49.  It's not improvisational for sure, but she executes it wonderfully. 

 

Great things are happening with music in the 10s...the world has never seen the like...and it promises to only get even better in the future!

 

 

 

Bonus badass K-Baby bass player (only for the bassoids out there)

This is very very nice.  I've only played it once so far, but I'm putting it in my monthly rotation to listen to more.  Without understanding the words, it gets a tad repetitive in the full seven minutes, but half of it is lovely.  Thanks for the post....I love finding new stuff.
