Live In Dublin by Bruce Springsteen and the Seeger Sessions Band. I was never a Springsteen fan until this. This material is a hotbed of a variety of styles such as country, blues, bluegrass, dixieland, gospel, latin, rock and roll and more all coming together to create something truly wonderful. Very little harp and when there is, Springsteen is playing it so it is terrible, but for those who like to pick up lines from a variety of instruments there is a lifetime of study here in one album. I've never heard a band sound so good.

Oisin, Good call on The Stiff Little Fingers, I don't think they get enough credit amoung punk rock fans.

The sound of my own music. I don't mean that in a boasting manner. I have to play/hear it everyday to make my life complete and with working full time, my few hours a day of playing in my recording studio takes up most of my listening time. I have spent tons of time listening to my heros over the years, but now listen to them more in th "how where they recorded" mindset. I do listen to pandora radio while my songs are downloading to wave, mp3's and going up on my soundclick site. Lately I have been listening to slim harpo, jimmy reed, lightning hopkins, frank sinatra, because the quality of these recordings really grabs me - as well as the music. Walter

Gene Krupa - Let me off Uptown. The trumpet solo by Roy Eldridge at the end of the song is my favorite! This thing swings baby!

Kingobad, that's where LW got the head on his chromatic harp instrumental "Fast Large One" from, just played much more uptempo. Listen to the LW tune and then "Let Me Off Uptown" and you can't miss it.

any any any anything by Arcade Fire {to understand better what musical brilliance is)

The Catherine Wheel (for how to make great, full, sweeping, music, AND have some harmonica content).

Bob Marley (for inspiration and groove.

Rancid (for kicking ass)

Modest Mouse (for knowing yourself musically, and just doing that)

Son House (for how to be real)

Morrissey/The Smiths (for how to channel your desperation and misery, but NOT sing the blues)

There are more on my list, but these are the top few for me...
