Was just listening to this the other day and remember how disregarded it was by us young “real music” admirers machos…
For our wind-battered chums in the North East a bit of Billie on double Verve vinyl compo Stormy Blues. She sure puts everything into every song.
Gurrumul, the Gurrumul story. Feel like having a good listen first thing in the morning on a Saturday down under. It’s so beautiful.

“Léonie Pernet’s second album Le Cirque de Consolation inhabits a world where borders dissolve and everyone makes their own unique and singular utopia. The record questions the links between pop music, African cultures and electronic music, neo-classical music or the role of voice, whether human or synthetic. Sophomore albums can be a painful
process for an artist - how refreshing it is to hear one so decidedly optimistic.” Rough Trade
Good call but I’ve got it Rich.
Ry Cooder - Why Don’t You Try Me Tonight?, a superb best of, with the tracks mixing well sonically, as his albums were well produced.
