This is my album of the year so far😁
Bit late here and I’m watching the cricket, look forward to hearing it tomorrow.
@Gazza, as you have used the ‘b’ word, I am going to have to check this one out.
Its strangely much better for the lack of the long departed BB King…just great musicians playing with his backing band. I think you will like it…£11.99 high res on Qobuz
Just listened to ‘Irene Irene’ online and if the rest of the album is as good, then I’m off to Qobuz.
Think you might be owed a royalty fee. ![]()
John Martyn - Bless The Weather
‘Love me with your head and heart’ etc. Glorious.
Now playing…
Lucinda Williams - This Sweet Old World
Streaming on NAS… kicking off Wednesday morning with Lucinda and this is one sweet album. Twenty-five years between the release of the original ‘Sweet Old World’ and ‘This Sweet Old World’ and both versions are fantastic! Lucinda is one hell of a musician and songwriter…
Antonio Carlos Jobim & Elis Regina - Elis & Tom
I love Brazilian music from this era, and this is my absolute favourite. If you haven’t heard it, do yourself a favour. Elis just about making it through her intense reading of Modinha never feels to move this cynical old bugger.
Herbie Hancock - Speak Like A Child - 1987 Blue Note / US CD / CDP 7 46136 2 / DIDX 934
Recorded on March 6 & 9, 1968, Digital Transfer by Ron McMaster
New Order - Republic
I love the way the channels alternate between speakers! HD Remastered 96KHz/24-Bit 2015
1982
Hall & Oates - H2O
It’s been a close, warm, sultry day and this fits the bill to be played first. Well recorded with nice SQ and good dynamic range.
