What are you listening to in 2021 and why might anyone be interested

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. :relaxed:

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”.

Well worth the time to give a listen…

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.

Been watching some of the studio footage from this up and coming video release

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.

That George Martin knew a thing or two. Very apt to be occasionally titled the fifth Beatle.
