    Scroll down a little under his work with the Tractors and looks like 2001 to 2003. he has also worked with kid band Hansen who also lived in Oklahoma at that time.

    Ha, that's pretty cool. I think Hansen is the exact opposite of Junior Brown in every way.

    I wanted to get Porcupine Tree's Deadwing album in surround to add to my collection but it's out of print and very pricey. Burning Shed is selling an uncompressed flac copy (in stereo) for about $8. I didn't find the bit rate but the album is over 400 megabytes after the download is unzipped. The sound quality is quite a bit better than the regular cd. Highly recommended if you like the hard rock/progressive stuff.

    EDIT: I think I wanted to hear a difference. The sound quality is the same. The downloaded album is the same size as the ripped one. Shoulda done a double blind test!

    The Porcupine Tree Deadwing DVD-A is great. I wish I could find mine.

    if you are at all familiar w/ Skynyrd & Allman Bros.
    you should try CMH's Pickin' On Series

    well recorded, well engineered

    as i've said before the Ascend's do justice to acoustic

    the series has something for everyone
    from CSNY, CCR, Clapton, Petty, Bonnie, Buffett & The Dead

    if you're are all so inclined ...

    My newest cd for the Sierra's is: Don't Explain, by Beth Hart and Joe Bonamassa. Great Blues and Beth Hart has an incredible set of pipes!

    Enjoy.

    thanks jim

    incredible vocals and guitar

    least I could do is mention Eva Cassidy...
    ...a tragic story, but the voice of an angel

    vocal and style range like few others
    start with 'best of'

    Have been rebuilding my music collection. Bought an old favorite today, Men at Work. I have always liked the track Land Down Under but WOW, the towers RAAL take this song to a whole new level. I have never heard this song in such clarity and with such dynamics. Really brought out the soulful vocals and the percussion was a real treat. If you are looking for a new song to showcase the towers RAAL, give this a spin. Guaranteed jaw dropper.

    I must agree with you... I too have rediscovered some of the classic Men At Work tracks. Great stuff!

    Men At Work eh? Been a long time since I heard them. I was a teen when they were most popular. But don't have any of their music. Might have to go onto Amazon Prime and reacquaint myself.

    My Sierra 2's and Horizon Center all with RAAL are scheduled to arrive tomorrow. So tonight I am planning to listen to Pink Floyd DSOTM on SACD and Steeley Dan Aja one last time on my Paradigm Studios, then listen again after I get the Ascends set up for my front stage. These two are always my reference discs. Then in a couple of weeks when I get my Towers with RAAL and move my S2's to surround duty I will listen again...

    Other than these discs, my favorite listening in no particular order:
    1) Joe Walsh - Greatest Hits
    2) Donald Fagen - Morph the Cat (DVD-A)
    3) Eric Clapton - 461 Ocean oulevard (SACD-Multi Ch)
    4) Janet Jackson - Rhythm Nation (don't laugh - it was an amazing concert in the 80's)
    5) Metallica - Black Album
    6) Mumford & Sons - Sigh No More
    7) The Black Eyed Peas - The End or The Beginning
    8) Sara Bareilles
    9) Supertramp - BIA
    10) Beatles - Love Soundtrack (SACD - Multi Ch)
