What are you listening to in 2020 and WHY might anyone be interested?

[Alley_Cat]

Still sounds fresh compared to Oasis WTSMG from 25 years ago which has really aged badly.

[crispyduck]

Fully agree. Post is a great album and ‘Army of Me’ ticks lots of bass boxes

[pcd]

Somebody recommended this the other day a superb album.

[crispyduck]

This is very very good - her best yet I think. Plus stonking SQ and bass

[Neil-26]

Funkadelic - Maggot Brain. A recent purchase and it’s a cracking album. I don’t know what took so long to discover this.

[Radikal]

George Jones, Cold Hard Truth. A fantastic album by a awesome singer.

[igahman]

Beach Boys. Love you. Got this on vinyl and cd but after a day of critical listening of borrowed speakers it’s liberating to relax to this underrated album on lo fi.

[PaulD]

A Johnny Jewel classic. Turning the kitchen into an Italian disco whilst I prep for dinner.

[igahman]

Björk. Big time sensuality. Squeezing this in to raise my spirits before Newastle take to the pitch and bring me thudding back to earth. Wrong thread but if I’m going to watch second rate football I want to do it with mates at St James not on soulless tv. Anyway back to you Björk.

A recent ECM release, and installed as one of my ECM favourites. I think it’s wonderful.

Morcheeba - Who Can You Trust

“Laid back beats and gentle smoky tunes… and the hypnotic vocals of Skye Edwards”. Another killer debut album!

[Collywobbles]

Seal 2. 1994. CD.

Rufus and Chaka Khan - Rags to Rufus. Continuing to explore soul / funk releases from the early to mid 70s.

[bruss]

Inspired by earlier

Calm down before bedtime.

[AlanP]

The New Power Generation - Exodus, this was a way for Prince to produce some music whilst in dispute with his record label.Some decent music here, but too many spoken links detract from the flow.

Now Playing…

Lee Ann Womack - The Lonely, The Lonesome & The Gone

Lee Ann Womack (Vocals), Ethan Ballinger (Guitar, Kayagum, Vocals), Shawn Camp (Vocals), Christina Courtin (Strings), Glen Duncan (Fiddle), Paul Franklin (Steel Guitar), Annalise Liddell (Guitar, Vocals), Frank Liddell (Guitar, Vocals), Waylon Payne (Guitar), Jerry Roe (Bass, Drums), Glenn Worf (Bass, Drums) and Adam Wright (Guitar, Keyboards, Tremolo).

Streaming on NAS (44.1/16)… I have not had Lee Ann out for a spin in a while and after a couple of tracks I know she needs a bit more air time. One fine singer and a fine group of musicians working with her on this album. One sweet album…
