Now playing…
Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit - Georgia Blue
Streaming on Qobuz (96/24)… kicking off this morning with this new release, October 14th, from Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit. …and Jason and the band and various guests on the album are sounding sublime! A nice review on-line at 'The Glide Magazine". Proceeds being distributed to three charities supporting voters rights and fair housing from Georgia Blue. Opening track is sounding mighty fine and looking forward to the rest of the album.
That Billie Holiday doc is essential viewing, although Beeb 4 are showing it again it’s still up on the iplayer.
The story of the journalist who started taping all the interviews which remained unheard until this doc is quite a story too!
Played this one earlier today very good.
Agree on all points!
A bunch of trax off the up and coming Keb Mo set due out late January next year
Due out Nov 26th.
This is one of their better albums, I had to do a double take when I see it’s now twenty five years old. Playing CD one of two.
Hey, after you posted that Pat Metheney album on the jokes thread nothing surprises me!
Back in the days when I had Nakamichi BX300E, I recorded a number of my vinyl for in car use.
These 2 were on the same cassette and in my mind always go together in any listening session.
Start with the nominal “Side 1”
Bought for the cover but it was the music which has stayed with me for decades.
Q5 is an American hard rock/heavy metal band from Seattle, Washington, United States, who formed in 1983.[1] Their first studio album, titled Steel the Light , came out in 1984. Picking up some critical praise, the outfit toured with the likes of Lita Ford and Twisted Sister. However, the group faced internal divisions that ultimately ended the project before the 1980s came to a close. In 2014, Q5 re-formed to perform at the Sweden Rock Festival, and the band members involved found that the one-off event was not enough, deciding to continue on with the revamped version of the group.

Think this was a Kerrang recommendation, but I can’t really remember.
Zeno Roth (30 June 1956 – 5 February 2018) was a German guitarist and songwriter, playing in a neoclassical/blues style. He was the younger brother of guitarist Uli Jon Roth.
By 1980, Zeno Roth and Ule Ritgen were again working together, now playing in a more melodic style. They were joined by Michael Flexig on vocals, and the band was named Zeno.
Their first (self-titled) album was released in 1986.[1] The band supported the album with shows, including a date opening for Queen in Newcastle, England on 9 July 1986, on what was the band’s last-ever tour with Freddie Mercury.[2]

By accident or deliberate this album has the supernatural type tracks, heavy metal, some middle of the road, and perhaps a hint of Abraxas. Ideal for skipping thru on streaming………ideal streamer….not a buy for me.
YMMV
Excellent. A year later did you buy this album?
Ryan Adams. Latest albums, back to back. Lots of Neil Young and lots of familiar chord changes/sequences. However, very impressive/enjoyable.
Just gave it my first listen rather good
@Ripley and @AndyP
String driven thing. Very underrated band and nice to see them get a couple of mentions on this thread
Bob Dylan - At Budokan.
I disliked this album when it came out. It was too different from the versions I was familiar with, and the versions herein jarred for me. Over the decades it has grown on me, to the point where I like it a lot, and some of the versions I once disliked are now my favourite versions.
