An absolute stonker of an album by an absolute stonker of a blues player! One of my all time favourite blues artists…
Love this album.
Been streaming it far too long before buying a proper copy. I could have bought the download, just really fancied the vinyl 
John Cale - Fear
Notably on board Eno, Phil Manzanera, Richard Thompson and Judy Nylon.
Neil Young: Unplugged. going to ware this out if I am not careful.
Dizzy Reece - Blues In Trinity (Capitol/Blue Note 1995 re issue)
Prompted by a chat on the Jazz thread. Jamaican player Dizzy Reece superb session with Art Taylor & Donald Byrd originally released in 1958.
Oh how I would love a Tone Poet of this!
That’s brilliant!

Cleo Laine & John Williams - Best Friends. An interesting and unexpected pairing, but really enjoying the mid 70s chill out vibe if this album.
He certainly is and I was lucky enough to see him on one of these special evenings at the Albert Hall
John Mayer - Born and Raised.
