Wilco’s guitar playing style, based on that of Mick Green, where he can play rhythm and riffs at the same time is totally unique, and there’s no one else out there who compares.

Yes but the current line-up has been together much, much, much longer (15 years) than the original!
Of course that does not make them better but great that the name carries on.
Oh to have been at the Kursaal.
(my earlier photograph was at the Palace Theatre not Cliffs Pavilion).
Marcin Wasilewski, Slawomir Kurkiewicz and Michal Miskiewicz - Trio
Mellow and intense at the same time.

I read somewhere that he said his style developed from trying to copy Johnny Kidd & The Pirates but somehow getting it wrong and melding that with the influence of Bo Diddley.
Reissued version of Levitate by The Fall.
Late 90s peak Fall.
Two things rarely associated with The Fall - immaculate recording quality and beguilingly beautiful songs - are present here.
Well, I’d say the former is present throughout much of their vast discography (it was fascinating to read Mark E’s reference to fastidious recording techniques in his wonderful autobiography Renegade), whilst the latter is less liberally sprinkled throughout their back cat, but is there nonetheless, if you squint from a certain angle.

Yup, Mick Green was the guitarist in JK and the Pirates, but Wilko was never able to quite capture Mick’s style.

After a rather mind-melting business zoom call for the last two hours, this is sounding rather relaxing I must say. Sounding rather wonderful on my office system… (Qobuz HIRES > Mac > Dac-V1 > Ruark MR1-2 + QAcoustics Sub)

A modern day protest record, and a great blues album with a bit of The Jean Genie in there!

Stevie Wonder - Hotter Than July, I always think of this as a lesser light in his catalogue, and then I play it, it’s great. However, the cover less so.

Any good John?, this seems to have passed under the radar.
Very good CD from an Estonian singer now living in Finland. Her band – all Finnish – are very good. She’s a self-taught vocalist and her songwriting shows real promise.

It’s from a CD/DVD of the concert but is also available on streaming services. As a live album it is pretty good, though it looks that smooooothness.

A latest release on Awesome Tapes From Africa label, Kanawa by Nahawa Doumbia.
Stunning lead vocals, dynamic and still very subtle shifts in her delivery, the backing voices and the polyrhythms coming at all angles.
Great social and political message too.

Steven Wilson - The Future Bites - not quite the prog rocker of old this album covers a wide spectrum.
By the way if there is anybody here who still downloads then Bandcamp have this at £7.34 (inc VAT) and it’s a Hi-Res (Yer!)
