Tanita Tikaram - Ancient Heart

Tanita Tikaram (vocals, guitar), Mark Isham (trumpet, flugelhorn), Paul Brady (mandolin), David Lindley (violin), Marc Ribot (guitar), Rod Argent (keyboards), Brendan Croker (guitar), Pete Beachill (trombone), Mitch Dalton (guitar), Martin Ditcham (percussion), John Georgiadis (violin), Keith Harvey )cello), Noel Langley (trumpet), Malcolm Messiter (oboe), Helen O’Hara (violin), Brendon O’Reilly (violin), Philip Todd (saxophone), Peter Van Hooke (drums), Clem Clempson (guitar), Mark Creswell (guitar), Ian Jewell (viola), Rory McFarlane (bass).

Streaming on TIDAL… going with a mention from @Filipe above and taking Tanita out for a spin and she is sounding mighty fine along with a talented group of musicians supporting her on this debut album from 1988. Worth the time to give a listen…

Albert King - I’ll Play The Blues For You

Inspired by @Steve_S, I realised I haven’t played this for ages. On checking the CD I ripped from, it appears I have the same 2012 Stax remaster. I seem to remember the SQ was OK but not exceptional. It also appears that I have had a couple of upgrades in kit since I last played it, as it sounds better this evening than I remember.

Great album.

JJ Cale - Special Edition

Never seen this JJ Cale album before so when I saw it for a Pound from that place, I thought all I have to lose is…err…a Pound.

Pretty decent album and nice recording.

Croz [2014]

I’ve enjoyed rediscovering David Crosby this year and this one is very good.

John Cougar - American Fool

If you like a bit of mainstream Americana, then this Pound punt hits the spot.

I see back then John was rocking both a mullet and a flick - brave choice.

The Croz’s classic. One of those cases where the remaster sounds so much better than the original, 180gram vinyl remaster

They are going for a pretty penny these days but if you are a Hunky Dory fan hunt out the 1997 analogue EMI 100 vinyl release, it is sublime. Sounds incredible, highly recommended
