The Wait is over!! Dolly Parton’s Rock album has arrived. When she was elected in to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, she said she would make a rock record so she would belong in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame!! I’m really interested in to hear what she put together because the guest list is really impressive. And I am also interested in the new Micheal Sweet project called Soledrive with Alessandro Del Vecchio. The man is always working on new music. What are you most interested in the week? Let us know and what we may have missed as well. Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful weekend.

March 2023 Purchases – Vinyl & CDs

Published on by 2loud2oldmusic42 Comments

We are already at the end of March and can’t believe three months in to the year already as well. Time does fly. But it doesn’t fly fast enough that we can’t do a monthly summary of purchases here at 2 Loud 2 Old Music. And this month was another good one even though the vinyl purchases were down and overall purchases were down as well. I didn’t actually get out to a real record store this month so I will try and make up for that in April.

The month started off with Frontiers Records updating their $5 CD sale and adding a bunch more albums to the list. I, of course, took advantage of that sale. I was able to pick up albums from Inglorious, Night Ranger and Jorn as well as a live Blu-Ray from Dokken. All great stuff.

And then my wife and daughter wanted to go to 2nd & Charles as they had a book sale where you buy 5 books, you get 5 free…Sadly, there was not a CD sale at the time, but it didn’t stop me from picking up some great music while I was there. I did get 5 CDs, but since the next 5 weren’t free, I stuck with only my 5. I picked up some Metallica, Tesla, Halestorm, Aldo Nova (which I had already on vinyl) and the last great Queensryche album in my book, ‘Promised Land’.

Friday New Releases – May 31st

Published on by 2loud2oldmusic18 Comments

Welcome to the last Friday of May!!  Let the Summer heat and fun begin!!  School is almost out for the kids, but busy times ahead for me.  Let’s end the month with some new releases.  I have a few I am interested in hearing and they are highlighted in Blue.  There is a handful of releases this week so let me know what you are interested in or if I missed something that needs a shout out!  I hope there is something for you.  Enjoy and have a great weekend!!

  • 819tYFEUphL._SS500_  Kenny Wayne Shepherd – The Traveler – (Concord Music Group):  First up for me is KWS and that awesome blues guitar.  Kenny has been around awhile now and his last release was stellar so expect more of the same with this. It is funny how his Blues actually makes me feel good.  Is that the way it is supposed to work?

  • 81BCSsOw5gL._SS500_  Duff McKagan – Tenderness – (Universal Music):  The Guns ‘n Roses bass player is back with a new solo album which is the first one in 20 years (not counting the 8 years since his band Loaded’s last album).  I don’t have high expectations or any for that matter, but I am curious as to what he has to offer and he has earned the respect for a listen.  I want some new GNR music though!!!

My Sunday Song – “Blue On Black” by Kenny Wayne Shepherd Band

Published on by 2loud2oldmusic9 Comments

For My Sunday Song #111, we are going to examine “Blue On Black” by Kenny Wayne Shepherd Band.  The song was released in 1998 and was off their album ‘Trouble Is”.  “Blue on Black” was #1 on the Mainstream Rock Chart where it stayed for 6 weeks and it stayed on the charts for around 42 weeks.  It also won the Billboard Music Award for Rock Track of the Year.  Not bad for a Blues song.

“Blue on Black” as a song can mean anything to the listener.  Kenny won’t say what it means, but people interpret it as either losing someone whether by death or end of a relationship or that the relationship was abusive.  For me, I view at as the end of a relationship.  I don’t see it as abusive but it ended badly with things were said that shouldn’t have been and maybe anger got the best of them and someone was push and shoved.  But you interpret it as you want.

Another interesting thing about the term ‘Blue on Black’.  The idea for the song came from Kenny wearing a shirt and those two colors were the main colors of the shirt.  Tia Sillars, one of the songwriters, thought how when you take those two colors and put them together you actually don’t get a new color.  The dominance of the black just absorbs the blue and still makes black.  I take that to mean when things are dark and you are blue, you can get consumed by it and things just get bleaker.
