Ralph Towner & John Abercrombie - Five Years Later

Ralph Towner (Acoustic Guitar, Electric Guitar, Electric 12-String Guitar, Mandolin Guitar) and John Abercrombie (12-String Guitar, Classical Guitar).

Streaming on Qobuz (96/24)… a mention from @Drikus above had me place in the queue and Ralph and John are sounding mighty sweet! A trip back to January, 1982 when this album was released and truly timeless, simply fabulous and a fantastic album cover!

Just watched the excellent BBC4 Gerry Rafferty programme on iplayer.

The self titled Leiber & Stoller produced Stealers Wheel album contains Stuck in the Middle but every track on this album is solid gold.

Nice programme on iplayer ‘When Bob Marley Came To Britain’

Watched it a few weeks ago but had to go into search to find it. Sone great footage.

‘Over the Rhine’ has some great albums beyond the Christmas albums and you may enjoy their music throughout their catalogue.
