I miss being on the road rocking out arenas with these people.

Ryan Adams - “Blue Hotel”

It’s a rainy travel day on the bus and I’ve been watching the grey roll by outside the window feeling homesick and nostalgic. Sometimes I forget how much Ryan Adams’ music used to mean to me, and what it used to mean to me. It feels like emotional regression to listen to it, but it reminds me that there was a time when music was so much more pure to me. Sure it’s my career now, and I rock out and groove and explore harmony, but I miss the feeling of being heartbroken over some gone girl and just popping on a record that’s devoid of musical pretentiousness and just letting it fuck me up. There’s been plenty of solos, compositions, melodies that have struck me emotionally, but those will never hit as hard as hearing Ryan Adams sing “and she’s inside me like a secret and I’ve got no one to tell.”

Tigran Hamasyan - Fides Tua (Live) I’ve been listening to this all night. Brilliant and gorgeous playing from Tigran--this guy has really solidified his own voice among pianists.

Emil Ernebro - “My One and Only Love”

I really want to get into playing harp harmonics more. Here’s a video of Emil Ernebro playing one of my favorite standards and beautifully incorporating harp harmonics.
