On Vinyl:-
The Alan Parsons Project - Tales of Mystery and Imagination
B.B. King - His Definitive Greatest Hits, specifically the period from the middle '60’s until the '80’s, so involves some re-recordings of earlier favourites.
Cara Dillon, self titled album. Busy day started work early. This soothing folk album puts me in a good place. I think I will continue with another Cara Dillon.
Cara Dillon, live at Cooper Hall. Feels like live in my living room. Thanks you @ewemon for mentioning this!
