Springsteen on great form on this his 17th album released in 2012
Bruce Springsteen - Wrecking Ball
Nice, John!
This is one I’ll definitely have to hear.
Love this album. A synth-pop record, that whilst uncharacteristic of its makers, is just marvellously enjoyable.
Now playing…
Mary Coughlan - Life Stories
Streaming on Qobuz (44.1/24) …kicking off this Monday morning with Mary’s latest release from September, 2020 and she is sounding mighty fine!
Now Playing…
June Tabor - Ashore
June Tabor (vocals), Andy Cutting (diatonic accordion), Mark Emerson (viola & violin), Tim Harries (double bass) and Huw Warren (Piano).
Streaming on Qobuz (44.1/16)… continuing on with June to carry me into the noon hour and she and the talented group of musicians working with her are sounding sublime! One very fine album, love it…
Santana - Welcome, plenty of instrumentals, but some lovely Flora Purim vocals on “Yours Is The Light” for contrast.
I don’t think they ruined it. At all. But that sounds exactly the sort of thing Scratch would say!
On cd…
I remember hearing that story, and Scratch’s response, years ago. I always took it to be true!
Now playing…
Mary Chapin Carpenter - Stones In The Road
Mary Chapin Carpenter (Acoustic Guitar, Vocals), Kenny Aronoff (Drums, Percussion), Paul Brady (Tin Whistle, Vocals, Whistle Instrument), J.T. Brown (Bass, Fretless Bass), Jon Carroll (Accordion, Piano), Shawn Colvin (Vocals), Don Dixon (Bass), Stuart Duncan (Fiddle, Mandolin), John Jennings (Baritone Bass, Bells, Cowbell, Acoustic Guitar, Baritone Guitar, Bass Guitar, Electric Guitar, Hammond organ, Percussion, Plucked Piano, Vocals), Robbie Magruder (Drums), Branford Marsalis (Soprano Saxophone), Alan O’Bryant (Vocals), Lee Roy Parnell (Guitar, Slide Guitar), Matt Rollings (Piano), Steuart Smith (Electric Guitar), Benmont Tench (Hammond organ, Piano), Linda Williams (Vocals), Robin Williams (Vocals), Trisha Yearwood (Vocals)
Streaming on Qobuz (44.1/16)… a request from my wife for Mary’s ‘Stones In The Road’ album had me place it in the Qobuz queue to take out for a spin. As always she is sounding sublime, one sweet album!
This is really bloody good, tongue in cheek too.
Definitely not my normal listening genre, so can someone correct me if I’m wrong that we have excellent musicianship on display here?
A famous 2-LP compilation released in 2000, which massively boosted interest in the Scroggins girls.
