An Eclipse of the Moon

Been a rocker with trips to Ten Years After, Traffic, Zepplin, Aerosmith and who knows what else to bands at an alternative end like Outlaws and Marshall Tucker.

I luvved all of them.

I think, for any of us, who consider themselves broad, in their sense of musical tastes, they understand the recognition of pure musicians. I am one of them...heaven knows I've committed blowin' me brains out on those others....but if you know music, it's artistry, and the skill of any musician, you can classify yourself in that different realm........So, I found that in (horror of horrors) a rocky mountain band, Mandolin Orange, which then morhphed in to Watchouse. I liked the former more, rather than the latter, but the crisp consistency of the musical physicians, and their vocals, is calming and so 'effin skilled....in such an uncertain world these days.

Anyway....gonna shoot you a bit of a re-burp on a classic. If you're open to different styles surrounding a sorta mountain-meets-it's-own-style-of-goodness, they might be for you.

Neil Young cover? You know, music transcends, changes, always! Like you, I'm a old school rocker, Stones, Zeppelin, all the bands you mentioned, etc. I listened to that song, it certainly appeals to me, and I will add it to my Spotify jam, thanks for that! I've come to learn that if the sound, lyrics appeal to me, then presto!! I'll listen to it! It's like food, you'll never know, unless you try it!!

If it matters.....and I suspect it may not to anyone else....an earlier one, back when they were less known as Mandolin Orange.....they were/are such tremendous musicians and vocalists. I feel as if musically, I'm listening to dialogue from the wonderful remake True Grit with the Coen Brothers. If you ever watched this movie, the very nature of the dialogue alone would take one back to the West in the mid-19th century......and so this song itself sends me in that direction. Enough of that however.....I love this ballad. I pray a small nucleus of odd balls like myself will love this as well.

The sound has such purity. And it is so clear, Reminds me of mountain air, but easier to breathe. I like it. Thank you.

Yeah this is good. It defies genre and classification.

@robingoodfellow
I appreciate it. The great challenge is offering anything that might appeal. That you get the thrust is kool man. Thanks

@Freeranger music is the Great Rabbit Hole. You hear a sound you like, then you notice the influences that season that sound and the dominoes start falling.
I remember as a kid getting into Frank Zappa. When I heard the jazz and blues influences in his music I went exploring. Next thing I know I'm into Jean-Luc Ponty and Muddy Waters.
