Billy F Gibbons - Hardware
Streaming (Qobuz) 3 tracks Lucky Card, West Coast Junkie and Desert High from Billy’s new album released 4th June. I can report it is the usual great stuff.

Rev. Peyton’s Big Damn Band - Dance Songs For Hard Times
This is one Damn fine blues album that jumps out of the speakers, this album chugs and boogies, loudly.

The good Captain’s Trout Mask Replica (Third Man vinyl version, thanks to @steviebee for the heads up), sounding mighty fine! I don’t really get this album’s reputation for being impenetrable/difficult/unlistenable at all…

I absolutely agree, Kev. It’s an an album of perceived dissonance and ugliness - but what I hear is some great multi-clattering country blues, great warmth, humanity and humour, wrapped up in some foxy cross-rhythms and very sharp playing.

My personal favourite will always be Strictly Personal, but I love Trout Mask too…

Definitely going to buy this one - but do you think it will ever appear as a HiRes version ?

I missed out on this one but just found out that it’s being re-released (same pressing etc) at the beginning of August. Pre-ordered at Rough Trade who have been very reliable for me in the past. :crossed_fingers:

Half way through Richard Thompson’s autobiog Beeswing - very good it is too. Needs a suitable soundtrack so streaming a few including the gorgeous and appropriate Who Knows Where the Time Goes with Sandy’s ethereal voice and Richard’s beautiful restrained guitar playing.

Not quite so peaceful, I had forgotten her range and dynamics.
Interesting, two records played today brought to public attention in the UK by BBC Radio DJs

I must say that I thought that too. I listened to the track ‘Don’t Go To Strangers’ on Qobuz before listening to the whole set. That piece is a particular favourite from the DVD set of the same recordings. The DVD version does seem to have more depth to it than the version on Qobuz.
