From Amazon website
This self-titled debut is an amazing collection, spotlighting the Malian guitarist in his full solo acoustic glory for a beautiful, intimate music that recalls American blues.
Now playing…

Jon Balke (Piano, Keyboards), Per Jørgensen (Trumpet, Vocal), Arve Henriksen (Trumpet), Morten Halle (Saxophones, Flute), Svante Henryson (Violoncello), Anders Jormin (Double-Bass) and Audun Kleive (Drums, Percussion).
Streaming on NAS… continuing on this morning with Jon & the very talented Magnetic North Orchestra and they are sounding sweet! A wonderful album and very nice to lift the spirits!
The Paul Butterfield Blues Band - epon.
Oh this takes me back. Used to spend hours with friends working out these songs. That was in the days when you’d record it on cassette and keep rewinding, playing, rewinding, playing etc. until either you’d worked it out or the tape was swallowed by the cassette player. Such fun!
You Gotta Say Yes To Another Excess [1983]
It’s probably never a bad time to play some Yello from those lovable Swiss funsters, this is an early one.
Now playing…
Eivind Aarset | Jan Bang - Snow Catches on Her Eyelashes
Eivind Aarset (guitar), Jan Bang (live sampling), Sidsel Endresen (voice), Erik Honore (samples/effects), Nils Petter Molvaer (trumpet), Hilde Norbakken (piano), [Anders Engen (drums) and Audun Erlien ( bass, electric).
Streaming on Qobuz (44.1/24)… continuing on this morning with this recently released album (March) and taking out for another spin. Sounding sublime and works as some fine music to sit, relax and enjoy the day!
Train - Save Me San Francisco
Just love Hey Soul Sister and the rest of the album is not bad either
Nightwish | Imaginaerum [2011]
Wonderful symphonic goth metal from this Finnish band. I haven’t played anything from them for a few years, they have just caught my eye while flitting through the library, so…
Neil Young - Chrome Dreams II
Starts with 3 tracks from the 80’s, discarded in favour of other tracks, but released here, and for the life of me I can’t see why they didn’t make the cut first time round.
My fav album from Reg, I think this is his best album Captain Fantastic and the Brown dirt cowboy what a superb Peace of work
Now playing…
Eivind Aarset - Dream Logic
Eivind Aarset (Guitars, Bass Guitar, Electronics, Percussion, Samples, Programming) and Jan Bang (Samples, Dictaphone, Programming).
Streaming on Qobuz (44.1/24)… continuing into the noon hour with Eivind and Jan and they are sounding superb and hitting the spot as the sun begins to shine! Happy days…
