Esbjorn Svensson Trio - Live In Hamburg (2007)

Friday night chill with EST and imho their best album and one of the very best live albums too… kinetic performance by a terrific band.

Blue Note Re:imagined / 2020 Blue Note / EU CD x 2 / 0710012

Enjoying this fine sounding double CD, released last year. Particularly fond of the Blue Lab Beats version of Bobby Hutcherson’s Montara.

Cowboy Junkies - The Caution Horses

Have the CD for years and never knew there also was a version of the album that contains 11 tracks, 11th being “Lost My driving Wheel”. Song unknown to me.
Enjoying it now in HiRes.

Sarah King, the hour. First try. Not too shabby at all. Pretty short under 16mins.

David Bowie - Hunky Dory

For Linz, who introduced me to this gem, which turned out to be his best (IMHO and that of millions of others, I’m sure).

Random selection day.
Tracey Ullman - You Broke My Heart In 17 Places
Not sure if it was originally a novelty release, bouncy and enjoyable. In fact it’s a long time since I played it and the speed of the first track had me checking that I really was using 33 rpm.
It got me thinking, views get divided on whether to listen to familiar or not for auditioning. This might be good as unfamiliar. Sadly apart from on line mentions of Hank Marvin, the only credits are for the backing singers.
