A right little gem - great SQ - Part 2 to follow after this one.
My favourite Scott W album. Acoustic folk blues with electronic flavourings whooshing here and there.
Another mostly unheralded troubadour of the soul. Great playing and writing here.
Talking Backwoods - Scott Wainwright.
My pleasure. Enjoy!
A fabulous historic album, in recent years Shirley Collins has given a talk about how the record company wanted them to tour the clubs together, but they were a miss-matched couple with Davy being the wild man doing drugs.
He was a wonderful guitar player and I regret I never heard him live and he made comparatively few recordings. Shirley and Dolly’s Anthems in Eden is wonderful too.
Yes another essential.
Linda Lewis, sideway shuffle. Saturday morning down under and I feel like some pick me up beats. Good morning, afternoon and evening everyone.

Streaming on Qobuz (96/24)… continuing on this afternoon with this 2013 release from Benmont and he and his talented group of musicians are sounding mighty sweet! …another album that has not been out for a spin awhile and has to get in the rotation a bit more often.
The Weather Station - How Is It That I Should Look At The Stars - 16/44 WAV download
1st listen to this after @AndyP’s comments above, it’s a fantastic album. Ruminative singer-songwriter lyrics sung delicately and plaintively over piano backing, powerful and beautiful. Thanks Andy.
That’s another great album Tony. I prefer the cover of Electric Savage though but.
Now Playing…

Margo Timmins (Vocals), Jaro Czerwinec (Accordion), Alan Anton (Bass), Peter Timmins (Drums), Jeff Bird (Fiddle, Mandolin, Harmonica), Michael Timmins (Guitar), Kim Deschamps (Pedal Steel Guitar, Lap Steel Guitar) and David Houghton (Percussion).
Streaming on Qobuz (44.1/16)… continuing on this afternoon with the Cowboy Junkies and Margo and the band are sounding mighty sweet! …one very fine album.
Prompted by mentions of their debut here yesterday. I haven’t played this in a long time.
Hats - The Blue Nile
I’m so shallow
Ever so slight tempo shift after The Blue Nile, the frenetic debut from The Eleventh House/Larry Coryell.
On cd…
Ravi Shankar - Chants Of India.
