Spicing things up with this jazzy afrobeat with hip-hop undercurrent from two nice London boys - Blue Lab Beats. New album on Blue Note due out in Feb duly pre-ordered.

Streaming on Qobuz (44.1/24)… kicking of this morning with Dana, a mention from @johnt above spured me to reach for one of her albums, and she and the band are sounding mighty fine!
Amusing coincidence, part of my misspent youth was working with a travelling fair, I posted about it before. Stack of Trojan 7’s on an auto changer suspended from bunji chords, Johnny Nash and Lt Pigeon - Mouldy Old Dough!
Lisa Mills (Guitar, Vocals), Fred Mollin (Rhythm Guitar, Acoustic Guitar), Clayton Ivey (Keyboards), Bob Wray (Bass), John Willis (Electric Guitar), Justin Holder (Drums, Percussion), Lester Snell (Keyboards), Leroy Hodges (Bass), Michael Toles (Electric Guitar), Steve Potts (Drums, Percussion), Reverend Charles Hodges (Hammond B3 organ), Sam Brady (Keyboards), Mike Thorn (Bass), Brennan White (Electric Guitar), George Lawrence (Drums and Percussion) Horns on the album were arranged by Jim Hoke (Saxophones) and Steve Herman (Trumpet).
Streaming on Qobuz (44.1/16)… continuing on this morning with Lisa and she and the three groups of musicians, Muscle Shoals, Jackson and Memphis, are sounding sweet! One very fine album, perhaps my favorite from Lisa…
Dr. Lonnie Smith - Breathe, as mentioned in the thread previously, a sister album to All In My Mind and of similar quality. Thanks again @Dreadatthecontrols for the heads up .
