Babe Ruth | First Base [1972]
I played this album a couple of months ago and fancied another listen, good rocking stuff. (Apologies for the quality of the artwork I’ll have to find a better image!)

My favourite bootleg @anon37685938 . Self portrait is the Dylan album I play the most. Apart from treasure trove of unreleased tracks the full IOW concert is a welcome addition. The Elvis/gypsy track especially poignant.

Another play of Distant Cousins album Here & Now

I remember when I bought my first cd player I treated myself to 2 discs. The self titled debut by Robbie Robertson and this one by Roger Waters. Those early cds were of dubious quality but the albums have stood the test of time.

Elvis Costello - Hetty O’Hara Confidential (new single via Tidal)

This is the Costello I love: wicked, caustic lyrics and a spiky delivery.

Amy Winehouse- Frank

I make no apology for posting this again (assuming I posted it before!). I preceded this with the deluxe version of Back to Black. Amy’s records work so well in this glorious summer weather, rather like a festival experience. I so, so wish I’d not been so snobby about not listening to ‘pop’ music and had actually listened to her music when she was alive. Such a loss.
