Streaming on Qobuz (44.1/16)… kicking off this Thursday Morning with sunshine on a cold day with Amos Lee and the very talented group of musicians that joined him and they are sounding sublime! One fabulous album…
Presume it was Dread who posted this reissue recently. Thanks for heads up.
Flesh of My Skin - Keith Hudson
Yes, I am sure you are right. Will get to it. I heard a bit in the record store and it was Annette Peacock with that distinctive fusion backdrop. Looking forward to it!
PS, thought you held them in high regard from your profile picture which I think is one of the album covers!
The two records are very different in style. X-Dreams has a super cast of supporting musicians including Mick Ronson who covered two and half of her songs.
Rick Wakeman - ‘White Rock’ (1977). As the Winter Olympics is currently on it is perhaps an appropriate time to be listening to this as it is the soundtrack to the film of the Innsbruck Winter Olympics in 1976. It has always been my favourite Wakeman album and it was unavailable on CD for many years. I bought the album back in the day and I still have my original vinyl and also have it on CD now through the ‘5 Classic Albums Series’. This was one of the first albums I bought when I was given my Ferguson Studio 6 music centre as a 15 year old. My first ‘stereo’. Good though that was this album sounds terrific on my Naim system. Quite an experience! Like descending the ‘Ice Run’!
Now Playing…
The Delines - The Sea Drift
Amy Boone (Vocals), Cory Gray (Keyboards, Trumpet), Sean Oldham (Percussion, Vocals), Freddy Trujillo (Bass, Vocals), Willy Vlautin (Guitar, Vocals), Kyleen King (Violin, Viola), Patti King (Violin), Collin Oldham (Cello), Noah Bernstein (Saxophone) and John Morgan Askew (Guitar, Baritone Guitar, Vocals).
Streaming on Qobuz (96/24)… a mention from @ewemon of ‘The Delines’ new album had me place three songs that have been released in the queue and Amy and the band are sounding sweet! The album is scheduled for release on February 11th and looking forward to listening to the complete album tomorrow morning…
LP - ‘Machu Picchu 2’ Remastered 2013 reissue : )
<>
Steve Giles – vocals, guitar, producer
Martin Weaver – guitar
Ronald Johnson – bass guitar
Clive Thorneycroft – drums
Recorded at S.I.S. Studios, Northampton, England 9-13th July 1972
<<>>
Musically a bit like Wishbone Ash imo, it’s very groovy…
The original vinyl most probably has the genuine analogue edge over this 2013 digitally remastered pressing from the US, but all things considered this is still an excellent remaster job for a digital reissue, and the heavy gatefold cover is top drawer too
Emmylou Harris - Blue Kentucky Girl (1979)
Bonnie Raitt: Luck of the Draw. Ages since I played this, Its a cracker.
Iris DeMent - The Trackless Woods
Iris DeMent sings poems of Russian poet Anna Akhmatova accompanying herself on piano and occasionaly Leo Kottke on guitar.
Sting, Bring on the night. This album just doesn’t sound great at low volumes, it has to be played loud!
Sting sounds best at no volume…
…I’ll get me coat…
