Diana Krall - Wallflower: The Complete Sessions.
Jimi Hendrix Experience - Are You Experienced?
Another one I’ve not listened to in an age. And for a change it’s the vinyl I’ve pulled out. Just got to make sure I stay awake…
Mmmm. Because it’s you I’m going to check this out.
Great album! What is ‘15’? When released?
Released today. Kate’s lockdown output. Covers of many and varied artists’ songs - Ray Davies, Bob Marley, Coldplay, James Taylor and Taylor Swift, just to name a few. Interesting!

Now playing…
Bill Frisell - When You Wish Upon A Star
Bill Frisell (Electric Guitar, Acoustic Guitar), Petra Haden (Voice), Eyvind Kang (Viola) Thomas Morgan (Bass) and Rudy Royston (Drums, Percussion).
Streaming on Qobuz (88.2/24)… continuing on this afternoon after returning from a long walk with my wife and playing another album from Bill. This was a Grammy nominated 2016 - Best Contemporary Instrumental Album featuring the role of music in film and television and it is one very fine album!
Elton John The One
Now playing…
Bruce Hornsby (Piano), Chad Wright (Drums), Gibb Droll (Guitar), J.V. Collier (bass), J.T. Thomas (keyboards), John Mailander (Violin), Rob Moose (Violin), Mike Lewis (Bass), J.T. Bates (Drums), Hideaki Aomori (Clarinet), James Mercer Vocals on track 5), Jamila Woods (Vocals on track 6), Vernon Reid (Guitar on Track 6) and Leon Russell (Vocals on track 8).
Streaming on Qobuz (44.1/16)… a new album released by Bruce Hornsby today and taking out for a spin and the opening track is sounding mighty fine and looking forward to the rest of the album.
Blondie - Plastic Letters (vinyl)
Who will ever forget Debbie on The Old Grey Whistle Test singing “Presence, Dear” from this, their second record. She looked stunning, the band rocked and she could have sung Happy Birthday and I would have still been hooked. One of those iconic moments.
The record? Oh the first side is great, the flip side is pretty average but who cares!

Interesting I’ll check that out. I love his last album.
Blue in Heaven - Explicit Material (vinyl)
Short lived Irish guitar band from the 80’s. This was their second and last album. Think Iggy Pop fronting Joy Division/early New Order. A largely forgotten record but one of the great lost Irish albums.

A talented couple.
