A new collaborative album between the two called Raise The Roof is due out in November, as Raising Sand it has been produced by T Bone Burnett so should be worth the wait.
Someone we know very well died of Covid this week. A lovely guy from Norway. Due to the power of Whatsapp, etc, lots of his friends from all round Europe raised a glass to him at 6.30 this evening. Thought we would play some Grieg tonight during our meal. Lovely stuff on CD…
A little nostalgia and reminder of my first proper girlfriend who introduced me to this guy and a UK concert.

Streaming on Qobuz (96/24)… continuing on into the afternoon with Robert and he is sounding mighty sweet! I have had not had this album out for a spin since earlier this year and really should see the light of day more often…
Leadbelly and the Golden Gate Quartet - The Midnight Special.
Very sad news. Loved her versions of From a Distance and Speed of the Sound of Loneliness. I always felt that she never got the credit or success she deserved. Lovely lady.
Nanci Griffith, other voices, other rooms. Very sad news indeed. Condolences to her family and the blue moon orchestra her band.
Love this intimate country folk album.
