What are you listening to in 2023 and why might anyone be interested?

I think that Mr Springsteen recorded demos for the ‘Nebraska’ album on a low quality cassette tape, but then decided that he preferred that to the more polished versions that he recorded in the studio. So CBS/Sony cleaned up the cassette version as best they could and released it.

It’s pretty obvious to me now that this must be her take on the Springsteen original, as the album covers are so similar!

Good to hear that you’re enjoying it. I must dig out my LP, which - as best as I recall - is just a standard two-sided LP. I hope that I don’t need to buy an ‘improved’ version.

Just played for second time today and yes it is really very good. His guitar playing is quite exceptional.
Can’t understand why it went under my radar.
Probably good example of focusing too much on an artists most famous release .
Don’t think ever saw him live but not sure :woozy_face:

Rain Tree Crow - 1991

It’s become a real ear-worm the past few weeks :grinning: Fabulously foreboding at times, a real gem imo.
