Someone posted this the other day and someone else responded favourably, so I found it on the river and stuck it in my shopping basket. Well, just before clicking to buy today, I thought I’d have a look to see if I could find it on Qobuz, which I did. So I’ve just played it and have decided to remove it from my shopping basket. It’s a nice recording, but despite interesting time signatures such as the rearranged 9/8 in Blue Rondo à la Turk, it still feels like lounge jazz to me. Sorry.

Streaming on Qobuz (44.1/16)… I quite enjoyed the ‘Mother’ video from Roger yesterday, a highlight of the day actually - a small bright spot in the endless days of working from home with the COVID virus, so I thought bringing Roger and lots his guests into the room this Friday morning might help brighten up today! …and it has! Sounding sublime this morning…

Steve Earle. Guitar town. While I am waiting arrival of new album listening to this vinyl debut which Steve autographed at a club in Manchester ‘86 I think. Fantastic new country. Technically speaking it’s my wife’s album. Technically speaking.

Freshly arrived, now ripped and streaming … more bonkers goodness from Alabama 3.
Just can’t stop engaging in some lockdown retail therapy, but when the choons are this good, then why not?

Lloyd Cole - Guesswork. If you like Lloyd’s work, this is as good as his older albums.
