The mighty Can
Live In Hannover April 11 1976
Radio Looploop records.
Pretty good recording for an unofficial release.
Mary Chapin Carpenter - The Dirt and the Stars. Only just got this, although it was released a couple of years ago. I think this is up there with the best of her albums.
Songs of Elvis Costello and Burt Bacharach arranged by Bill Frisell. Another new album for me. As a fan of EC and BB, I find this very enjoyable.
Tomorrows Warriors presents J Life
Debut album from the eighties from young Brit Jazz Collective nurtured by Gary Crosby, still going strong teaching and mentoring great young artists

I watched the Emmylou Harris doc on TV again last night, so time for Red Dirt Girl, her follow-up to the breathtaking Wrecking Ball (collaboration with Daniel Lanois - what an album). I’ll dig out Stumble Into Grace later, another great one.
The Gladiators - Symbol Of Reality (Omnivore Recordings/Nighthawk)
Fine Gladiators album from the eighties iirc, originally recorded for the excellent Nighthawk label whose recordings are available again from Omnivore.
Expanded version on CD/Stream and original vinyl version re issued
Disc Two of this five-CD set. Starts off pure blues-y, then it goes hard R&B, and finally it ends up being a bit jazzy. An epic journey from '49 to '53…
