Full disclosure: I don’t have any music on board when I’m fishing on the skiff. I prefer the sounds of nature, peace and quiet. But if I’m cruising or hanging out at the sandbar, tunes are part of the scene.
So what is everyone listening to lately?
I’m old school. Love the late, great Jimmy Buffet, classic reggae/Bob Marley and Jimmy Cliff, other island music. Plus some John Hartford river bluegrass. But I know there are plenty of contemporary artists and I’m always open for downloading more to my iTunes. Except rap and opera.
I’m a music ■■■■■! I listen to just about everything really. Buffet is a must for the boat but am a big classic rock fan from the 60’s up. 80’s rock, some 90’s stuff, Elvis, Haggard, Bocephus, Willy, Waylon, a little 90’s hiphop, even some easy listening stuff like Micheal Bolton lol! I can listen to and enjoy pretty much anything within reason. My stepfather was a musician and hell of a guitar player so I think that’s where it came from. As long as it’s got some soul and not “mumble rap” or death metal that is. Not a fan of grunge either but can tolerate it.
When i could hear i loved most all music depending on my mood, from van Halen Rocking ,to chilling out with some Kenny G and who doesnt love some Bon Jovi “Wanted Dead or Alive” i sing that with them every time watching Deadliest Catch,i hear pun intended they replaced that on season 11 wifes Glad she said i can Sing LOL Me or my Buddy when we having a few beers
I never really cared for TV back then music was my main go to ,but now the closed caption is a benefit
Its a long Ride back to the Dock after you get the boat loaded with Scallops, on wheel watch that stereo was my friend a lil Ganja and some tunes really smooths out the ride back to the cape ,i was scalloping when the space shuttle Blew up, we caught pieces of it and gave them to coast Guard cutter:+1:
Primarily Buffett, especially his older offerings. Eagles, Petty, Skynyrd and The Outlaws are Southern Rock staples. Jesse Rice and Kurt Stevens round out the playlist.
I’m with @JCDesigns I listen to about everything, even grunge..lol. Some of them guys were legitimately talented.
As for newer artists, Cody Jinks, Ward Davis, Whitey Morgan, Whiskey Myers, These next three make really great stuff, but their politics are a bit skewed.. Jason Isabell, Tyler Childers, and Sturgill Simpson.
But I never listen to anything on the boat, or motorcycle.
The googans running around burning shorelines, herding redfish and busting up schools blast music loud enough you don’t need a sound system here so I guess whatever they are listening to…
