Colin Blunstone. That same year.
Was big fan of the Zombies but unfamiliar with solo work but this recommendation from @AndyP (I think)
quite enjoyable on first play.

Reb Fountain, great chilled out album so far.

Guilty as charged - plus the official album One Year is an essential listen.

Diana Krall, wallflower. Updated naimie firmware this morning and decided to listen to a familiar album to see how things go. Perfect. :relaxed:

Joan Baez, Baez sings Dylan. So many to choose from after DK I stumbled on this and sticking to it. Joan is a jadi, she told me, “you ain’t goin’ nowhere.” :relaxed:

Capercaillie - Dusk Till Dawn, The Best Of Capercaillie.

One of the finest Scottish folk bands out there, mixing songs in English and Gaelic, and adapting old songs with modern instruments and techniques. Once you get to know what they are singing about, they can evoke emotions like few other bands.

After a complete revisit to the albums in the Ayreon canon.

Now revisiting one of Arjen Anthony Lucasson’s other projects Star One (named for an episode of Blake’s 7).

I bit more guitar orientated but still has some of his multilayered voices and Hammond organs.

Star One - Space Metal

Just chanced upon this record recently and am absolutely smitten! I have been listening nearly daily.
It’s the first album in a trilogy, and I will be checking out the others soon.

I have a modern reissue of Aja by Steely Dan and I’ve never liked it. This youtube video explains why. Very annoying what record companies get up to
