Amy Winehouse, Back to black. Love is a losing game demo is so melancholic. So beautiful in a sad way.
Hugh Laurie - Let Them Talk
Great blues. And oh so easy to imagine him, maybe forty years ago, some Friday evening, knocking out earlier versions of the same, on the upright in the corner of the JCR of an Oxbridge college. Several beers, a mate on bass, an appreciative audience, meaningful glances, and an essay due on Monday morning.
Earth, Wind & Fire, Raise! After Amy Winehouse, especially love is a losing game demo track. Need something to lift the mood.
Imelda May, life love flesh blood. Given Roxy Music’s flesh and blood. Couldn’t help thinking of my favorite telephone song.
Was comparing a bit, while I appreciate Gould’s Goldberg, his being different recipe doesn’t work so good in this case and I would prefer Korliov’s cleaner approach, why also not the reference recording for me…

The Rolling Stones - Let It Bleed on SACD, Keef’s acoustic guitar work really shines in this format.

Will listen again later.
