Just watched that doc on Jack Bruce yesterday...incredible.
It's hard for me to name a favorite Bruce piece, but I love the Songs for a Tailor album.





From Cream, these are a few of my favorites:



 
Very aware of Howling Giant...love em. Sheep Shifter are really good too.

My current favorite local band is Twen, but it ain’t heavy. More like 4ad records type sound. Like if Elizabeth from Cocteau Twins was singing for the Pixies
I have lotsa local Nashville favorites, but most of them are heavy. There is sooooo much talent in this town, I'm happy to have people tell me they like my band; it's enough to say "they don' think we suck!" That I've been able to be friends with so many local musicians who are just great, cool people is icing on the steak.
A few of my favorites, available on yoot oob and Spottyfries and stuff:
She The Killer - post hardcore. Sound great on record but really have to be seen live!

Shadow Horse - heavy rock. Their album doesn't do them justice compared to their live sound.

Vampire Bleach Bomb - blend of post grunge and bluesy hard rock. Just fun.

Lonesome Town Drifters - pop punk. Saw them open for Less Than Jake, and they blew away everybody else on the show.
 
Just finished a Derek Hoke gig in Lexington, KY. Had to use backline. The bass player in the opening band provided the rig. I won’t say what it was, but he was quite proud of it for reasons I’ll never understand . Turned out he was a TB genpop dude and everything he had to say was pretty much the ‘common wisdom’ you hear folks repeating. Super nice guy, though. When I plugged into his rig to do soundcheck, the first thing he said was “How did you manage to find a Gibson that isn’t an unplayable POS?”
I said I love mine and he agreed it sounded nice, but added, “You were smart and got a vintage one before they went downhill. What year is that one?” I told him2014. He said I must’ve gotten really lucky to find a decent one. Oh well!

Black Beauty’s sounded great in the band mix. I wish the D and especially the G were slightly higher tension, but overall I was super happy with the strings. Sounded nice
