Mike Jones/Penn Jillette: The Show Before the Show



Tidal Streaming

From Amazon:

"For the past 16 years those who have gone to see the Penn & Teller show at the Rio in Las Vegas have been entertained before the show by the Mike Jones Duo. Jones is joined by a disguised hip looking bassist in a hat who is actually the taller half of the act they all came to see, Penn Jillette. The Show Before the Show was recorded live at the Penn & Teller Theater capturing the musical magic before the prestidigitation begins. The duo weaves their way through a variety of standards from the great American songbook and one original by Jones. "

Moody Bluegrass: A Nashville Tribute to the Moody Blues



Tidal Streaming

This is just another example of what I love about Tidal & Qobuz. Here is an album that if I saw in the store would have caught my eye, but I never would have paid $10 -$15 for somethig I had never heard, or even heard of. But on Tidal if something looks interesting it costs nothing to give it a try, and I have found a lot of good music that I never would have taken a chance on otherwise.

This is one such album. It turned out to be very well done and quite enjoyable.  This was not just a bunch of amateurs throwing something together, it was done by some of Nashville's top musicians.  In the same way I enjoy jazz interpretations of popular songs, other musical types can be fun as well.

From AllMusic.com:

With all of the other countless tongue-in-cheek bluegrass renderings of classic rock radio staples, it's hard not to toss off producer/mandolin player David Harvey's irony-free reimagining of the Moody Blues' greatest hits as just another campfire novelty meant to be pulled out during the more inebriated portion of the evening. However, when the project attracts a session band that includes Alison Krauss, Sam Bush, Lionel Cartwright, and Tim O'Brien -- just to name a few -- what was once an exercise in high camp turns into a lovingly crafted tribute that's as reverent as it is whimsical. Harvey's love for the group is obvious -- he gets kudos for including overlooked gems like "Land of Make Believe" and "Late Lament" -- as the track order mimics the veteran band's typical live set, even utilizing their trademark opener, "Lovely to See You," as the leadoff cut. What follows is surprisingly heartfelt and poignant. Who knew that "The Voice" and "Your Wildest Dreams" were far better country songs than rock songs? Why does the druggy epic "Legend of a Mind" sound so much less insipid in the hands of a bunch of Nashville studio musicians? Probably because they saw past all of the Mellotrons, precious song cycles, and spoken word pretense and dug out the intangible spark that made these songs hits in the first place.
