I like the video of his track…Valentine
I edited…to acknowledge…it’s From the Guardian…
I thought a write up would give a better picture rather than only photos since the artist isn’t well known outside of world music circle I guess…
Maybe somebody will try his music
They’re in for a treat if they do … he’s a master musician.
Rock ‘n’ Roll Party, Honouring Les Paul [2011]
Joining in with the celebration of Paul’s 105th birthday the notes below shamelessly ripped from the Amazon blurb.
Jeff Beck playing his friend and mentor’s music, along with classic tunes from the era, in the same Times Square nightclub that Paul played every Monday for 14 years before his death in August 2009.
Billed as “A Celebration of Les Paul,” Beck was joined by The Imelda May Band at the Iridium Jazz Club in June 2010. Other guest performers joining Beck onstage included Brian Setzer, Gary “U.S.” Bonds, and Trombone Shorty.
“Les was my inspiration,” says Beck. “For years I had always wanted to do something for Les to show him how much I respected and admired what he had done. Les used to play every week at the Iridium Jazz Club in New York City, so for me it was the obvious and fitting place for a ‘Salute’ to him.”
Yes mpw “In the heart of the moon “ should be in every music lovers library.
Simon & Garfunkel - Greatest Hits - WAV CD rip
American folk-rock perfection, magical harmonies, thoughtful evocative beautiful lyrics, compelling tunes. In case I didn’t make it clear, I like it.
Yes but will it stand the test of time?
Culture - Two Sevens Clash - Lightning Records 1978 - UK Press
Debut record from reggae superstars Culture. I’m trawling through my reggae collection and playing records I haven’t played recently.
Seem to remember she was recorded on the Naim label a while back. Lipstick Conspiracies. Very good voice.
My favourite roots type reggae album.
Haha! I should look at what’s already been posted for the evening. By coincidence I put this one up too. Great choice!!
On vinyl, enjoying my new Ekos SE/1, Kandid and Karousel…
