Robert Ellis - The Lights From The Chemical Plant. Although rooted in country music, there is an attractive quirkiness to Robert’s music and his lyrics.

Here is a little gem so good it gets a top rating of 5 well deserved stars in Mojo this month.
This is Eddie of Charles & Eddie fame who back in ‘92 had the big hit Would I Lie to You - which might have otherwise put me off but five stars is enough to tweak my attention.
£6.50 on Bandcamp it’s like a long lost Curtis Mayfield/Marvin Gaye album - just sublime.

Robyn Hitchcock And The Egyptians - Element Of Light
I felt like some English whimsy on this tense and humid day in Trumpistan.

Cheers I’ll check that out later today. IMO Marvin Gaye and Curtis Mayfield are pretty high bench marks.

Need some motivating for a full day in the office, the last track on Damien Rice’s O always makes the hair stand up on the back of my neck. Also another album I would have missed altogether if it wasn’t for this thread.

Hang on in there, help maybe on the way.
Ah, maybe Pete. But the nagging doubts are surfacing.

Ian Noe - Between The Country
Ian Noe (Acoustic, Guitar, Electric Guitar, Vocals), Dave Cobb (Acoustic Guitar, Electric Guitar), Savannah Conley (Vocals), Adam Gardner (Bass, Organ, Piano) and Chris Powell (Drums, Percussion).
Streaming on Qobuz (96/24)… a mention the other day by a member had me place Ian’s ‘Between The Country’ into the queue and now taking out for a spin. Wonderful voice and lyrics and enjoying the music!

Horrible cover, I normally love the covers on the stuff you play.

Love the mix covering Muscle Shoals, AL, Memphis, TN and Jackson, MS and a talented group of musicians working with her as she recorded in the three locations. One very fine album…
