Christopher Cross. Debut album. It’s gentle stuff but the songs are strong, played by top session guys.
“At the 23rd annual Grammy Awards, held at New York City’s Radio City Music Hall on February 25, 1981, none less than Christopher Cross took home the prize in the “Big Four” categories: Album of the Year, Song of the Year (“Sailing”), Record of the Year (“Sailing”), and Best New Artist. At the time, the only artists to have even achieved a sweep of those first three awards were Paul Simon and Carole King. To say that the music world was shook would be an understatement.”
George Harrison - Wonderwall Music, playing on high res download. Fabulous soundscapes from George on his soundtrack / first solo album, and a much underrated album too. Great to work to as well.
Gregg Allman - Southern Blood - Tidal 16/44
Following Norma’s glorious reading of Black Muddy River with an equally beautiful one in Gregg Allman’s elegiac final album, great Americana in probably my favourite album of the century to date.
Gypsy | 1970
Another one of those fine prog/soft rock bands, this was their eponymous debut that was swamped by the deluge of fantastic music from the plethora of other great bands of the time.
