The Road Is Dark

Michael Jerome Browne - The Road is Dark

Michael Jerome Browne (National guitar, fiddle banjo), John McColgan (washboard), Mighty Popo (acoustic guitar), Steve Marriner (harmonica), Jody Benjamin (acoustic guitar) and Michael Ball (fiddle).

Streaming on TIDAL… I had taken this album out for a spin last week and wanted to give it another spin. Some very nice blues and country influences across the album and he has a very fine voice. Some fine music from Michael and his group of musicians, worth a listen.

Tracey Thorn - Record. On rather fetching translucent red vinyl. Only just arrived so it’s the first play, but first impressions are really positive - her voice is as seductive as ever. A very good sounding disc too, flat pressing and perfectly cantered.

Fairport Convention - Heyday

These are some of Fairport’s best songs recorded essentially live for the BBC Top Gear programme in '68 and '69. Some versions here are better than the released versions; especially noteworthy is Percy’s Song. And, of course, it is the wonderful Sandy Denny singing.

Hot Rail

I fancied a bit of Arizonan and Mexican fusion so Joey Burns and the Boys were the ones to call upon…

Foals - Everything Not Saved Will Be Lost Part 1. Listened to this a couple of times now and it’s really getting under my skin. I do wonder how they are going to follow it up with Part 2 scheduled for release in the Winter of this year. It’ll have to be damned good to live up to Part 1. Like this a lot.

The Decemberists - I’ll Be Your Girl, on white vinyl. Another recent purchase and it’s a tight accomplished set of songs, but, somehow, not yet caught my imagination. Think it’ll take few more plays for it to really grab me. Very good sounding pressing tho.

Having just played Heyday, I I felt the need for more of Sandy Denny - such an immense talent.

Just turned up in the post-today. A post-by@Andyp got me on youtube listening to this artist. The youtube clips are so fresh, and take me back to how the the clubs and pubs gave bands a chance. She seems to have done the circuit, and this album is wonderful.
Apologies…a new fan
