Jon Anderson without Chris Squire is a huge mistake.  Is he still doing the Christian Prog thing?

I have no answers, but I can now say that he recently recorded an album entitled The More You Know, which seems somehow fitting. Also, he recorded with Bela Fleck and the Flecktones, which somehow(e) strikes me as odd.

Wow, check him out on the record cover.  He's totally stuck in the 80's... Suit with open shirt, no tie and wide lapels, blowdried big hair, dark sunglasses.  That is amazing.  He needs to do an album of standards.

Eye gotchooo under my skin...

Just to bump this thread:

My college is bringing in Robert Randolph and the Family Band along with Clap Your Hands Say Yeah this spring. Do any of you have any experience with these bands, and if so, should I try to get a ticket?

I've only heard a few Robert Randolph songs; they're tagged as a "jam band" a la Phish or Dave Matthews.  I think they have more soul than those two put together.  I bet they put on a good live show; I'd go see them, if they were on my campus and tickets weren't too expensive.

I've heard from several people that CYHSY is disappointing live. I usually can't listen to their album through in one sitting (though I like individual songs) so I can totally see how that would be true.

Robert Randolph is awesome - if you like electric blues or funk.  Awesome.

As for CYHSY, I don't think I could deal with the singer's voice for an hour at a time - that would be far too painful.

Some of their songs are good, though.

I got turned on to a Robert Randolph boot and I was very disapointed.  I like Jam music, but this is just bad music IMHO.  Maybe he was having an off night, it's possible, but I don't like it.

I dig me some Robert Randolph. But I've never heard CYHSY. But hooray for seeing Robert Randolph! Hopefully they are good for you....they do seem to be one of those bands made for live performances...

I am going to see The National on Friday and current league leaders in excessive name coolness, I Love You But I've Chosen Darkness on Saturday...but the exciting stuff for this Chicagoan is coming up this summer with Lollapalooza and Pitchfork Music Festival. Intonation is also returning this summer, but without the curation of Pitchfork (which they had last year), they aren't able to serve up much more than some overhyped British rappers.

I'm going to see Pink Mountaintops Saturday night.  I saw Steven McBeans band Black Mountain last year in Houston and really dug it.  Wow, according to this it was exactly 1 year ago.

Yeah, it's kind of like when I first heard a Strokes song. I wondered why he used such a weird voice for that song before discovering, "Oh. He just sounds like that. OK then."
