Her new (and final?) album, out today… already sounding great.

Billy Idol - VH1 Storytellers unplugged
2001 CD
Fantastic soundstage on this one, just so much fun on a Friday evening after hours of cleaning my apartment. Steve Stevens is a brilliant guitar player, even on acoustic guitar.
More than 30 years ago I met Billy when I was assisting his private cook preparing a vegan Chili at an Open Air Event. Headliner was Simple Minds, he played before them. It was one of the hottest summers in these times. We had 60 Centigrades in the catering tent and 96 Centigrades in the cooking area.
‘Tommy’ - The Who
Abbey Road half speed remaster - really great reissue. Looking forward to the similar reissue of ‘Who’s Next’ next month.
Ringo Starr - Blast From Your Past - CD
This is a blast from the past, first purchased on cassette, always brings a smile.
Bob Marley - Live!
1990 CD
Especially for @Dreadatthecontrols I digged this out. I have always been enjoying it. What a great feeling this sound is delivering. I should listen to more Reggae in the near future. Unfortunately it is extremely underrepresented in my collection.

Woody Shaw’s incedible debut as a leader, on Bernie-mastered Craft Jazz Dispensary double vinyl. One of THE greatest jazz albums ever…
This is a fascinating new album, including some Bach, Adams’ Shaker Loops and various other pieces I’ve not heard before. It’s good to try something new.
Couldn’t agree more. I’m well on with the two hour 2013 ‘Deluxe’. Magic!
I saw him live in London at the time of the release. Brian Eno was in the audience and Daniel Lanois literally had to drag him up on stage. They performed the Velvet Underground’s Waiting for the Man.
I saw Lanois a few years in Ramsgate at the Ramsgate Music Hall. They call it a hall it is more like a kiosk. I was nearly sitting on his lap steel.
Check out the FLK if you have time… who are definitely not in anyway the KLF
Now playing…
Anna Tivel - Blue World
Anna Tivel (Vocals), Galen Clark (Piano, Rhodes, Wurlitzer, Organ) and Micah Hummel (Percussion).
Streaming on Qobuz (44.1/24)… continuing on into the late morning hour with this July 2021 album release from Anna and along with Galen and Michael are sounding sublime! One very fine album…
Yeah, will do, cheers
