After recently replaying In The Basement (their second and as far as I know, sadly last album), I went digging through the CD cases to find their first:

The Pharoahs Awakening
A fantasy gig of mine is to have seen Pharoahs and Art Ensemble of Chicago on the same bill. Sigh.
Still, I can imagine…

Very early 1980s vinyl. My favourite Temps album – Norman Whitfield at the controls, songs by Isaac Hayes, loads of wah-wah guitar, black consciousness, those voices…

What’s not to like?

John Hiatt - Leftover Feelings

Hiatt as I like him. Great songs just accompinied by Jerry Douglas on dobro and his fine band. No drums! Sounds great. Best are the slow ballads like “Light of the burning sun”.

Barclay James Harvest | Once Again | 1971
Good old melodic progressive rock from BJH, this is the well remastered 40th Anniversary edition with bonuses and a DVD. I haven’t seen if there is going to be a 50th Anniversary but imagine that there will be…

Thanks for the heads up, Gazza. I think his last few albums have been pretty good…
