Nanci Griffith, other voices other rooms. Was going to listen to something with a bit more pace for my Friday morning down under. But the moment I started on this I was hooked.
Now playing…
Nerina Pallot - The Sound and the Fury
Nerina Pallot (Vocals, Piano, Synthesizer, Guitar), Lewis Wright (Vibraphone, Synthesizer, Drums, Vocals), Andy-Chatterley (Synthesizer, Vocals), Carlos Garcia (Guitar, Vocals), Tim Van der Kui (Guitar), Ian Burdge (Cello), and Mark Ferguson (Bass, Vocals),
Streaming on Qobuz (96/24)… a mention above from @adeypoos above had name place one of Nerina’s albums and the queue and now taking out for a spin. …and Nerina and the band are sounding mighty fine!
A few weeks ago I played an album of Albert King, Steve Cropper and Pops Staples playing together, they’d all been Stax house guitarists and did one recording together. I guess that album you’re playing has Duck on bass, Booker on keyboards, Al Jackson on drums, what a lineup, off to find it.
Edited To Add, it also has the Colonel on guitar, and the Memphis Horns (on horns), don’t get much better. I have the tracks from Born Under A Bad Sign on that album, but not the singles, ordered, cheers Alan.
The Beatles - Abbey Road - 2019 Giles Martin remix WAV CD rip
My favourite Fabs album and a desert island disc for me. Challenging music, but so perfectly constructed and played that it seems simple. Glorious.
Interesting! Never thought of Abbey Road as “challenging”.
Now playing…
Lyle Mays - Eberhard
Lyle Mays (piano, keyboards, synthesizers), Bob Sheppard (saxophone, woodwinds), Steve Rodby (acoustic bass), Jimmy Johnson (electric bass), Alex Acuña (drums and percussion), Jimmy Branly (drums and percussion), Wade Culbreath (vibraphone and marimba), Bill Frisell (guitar), Mitchel Forman (Hammond B3 organ, Wurlitzer electric piano), Aubrey Johnson (vocals), Rosana Eckert (vocals), Gary Eckert (vocals), Timothy Loo (cello), Erika Duke-Kirkpatrick (cello), Eric Byers (cello) and Armen Ksajikian (cello).
Streaming on Qobuz (44.1/16)… I came across this and best described by the article in Jazziz titled “The Legacy of Lyle Mays Is on Display in Eberhard, His Final Recording.” Available in Vinyl, Download, & CD on Lyle’s website. Simply Beautiful… (13:03 duration).
Well worth the time to give a listen…
Kate Wolf, live at Mendocino. Was going to play Emmylou Harris the traveling kind but lets play this first. Spoiler alert.
There are quite a few songs that aren’t simple but they’re so well crafted and played that you don’t think of it, whether it’s John’s extreme Scouse accent on Polythene Pam, the music-hall and creepy lyrics style of Maxwell, the weird sound effects of Octopus’s Garden, the weird lyrics of Sun King and Mustard, we just accept them because it’s so wonderfully balanced, but it ain’t really simple pop, they’re just so good we don’t notice.
You’re lp12 looks gorgeous!
Been watching some of the studio footage from this up and coming video release
It starts streaming exclusively on the Coda Collection allegedly as of today.
This is a fantastic album if you are into Pink Floyd. Half covers and half originals. The Broom Sisters were backing singers for Pink Floyd and are in the Pulse concert video. Only available on Band Camp. Worth it for the cover of Have a Cigar and the Great Gig in the Sky alone. Highly recommended.
ChangesNowBowie, love this set from the live series. This is how I imagined he would have toured but unfortunately we never got to find out.
Manic Street Preachers Everything Must Go (remastered)
That George Martin knew a thing or two. Very apt to be occasionally titled the fifth Beatle.
Robert Rich - bestiary CD.
A journey through analogue modular synth glurp.
great work out for the speakers
Burning Spear- Garveys Ghost
Easing into Friday morning in the cab with the dub companion to Burning Spears Marcus Garvey album
