This is very good, a fusion of jazz, Afro beat, hip hop and more. With Tony Allen on some of the tracks too. Recommended in yesterday’s paper. Superb.
Ryan Adams - “Easy Tiger”
Now playing…
Jack Johnson - In Between Dreams
Jack Johnson (Guitar, Vocals), Zach Gill (Accordion, Piano), Merlo Podlewski (Bass) and Adam Topol (Drums, Percussion).
Streaming on Qobuz (96/24)… a mention earlier today by @NigelB had me place one of Jack’s albums in the queue and now taking out for a spin. …and the wife walked through the room and said ‘that’s fun music’ and that sums it it up rather nicely!
Al Stewart - “Time Passages”
Uncle Tupelo. Anodyne. Thanks to @johnt for introducing me to this brilliant album. On my to buy list.
Now playing…
Jack Johnson - To The Sea
Jack Johnson (Guitar, Mellotron, Percussion, Ukulele, Vocals), Paula Fuga (Vocals), G. Love (Harmonica), Zach Gill (Melodica, Percussion, Piano, Vocals, Wurlitzer), Merlo Podlewski (Bass, Percussion, Vocals) and Adam Topol (Drums, Glockenspiel, Percussion, Vocals).
Streaming on Qobuz (96/24)… continuing on with Jack and this 2010 release and he is sounding mighty fine this morning!
Fionn Regan - “Cala”
Bai Kamara Jr & The Voodoo Sniffers - Salone
The more I listen to this the more I like it. I suspect Bai was strongly influenced by John Lee Hooker.
The Beatles [1968]
Lovely sounding vinyl rip from the 1982 MoFi The Beatles Collection box set.
“Flew in from Miami Beach B.O.A.C.” …
Joanna Newsom - The Milk-Eyed Mender
