Don Henley | The End of the Innocence | 1989
Because I just fancied some Henley, I almost went for his Best Of Actual Miles but this album got the nod.

Chinatown - Soundtrack

Trumpet playing on this album by Uan Rasay is something I could listen to all day.

A masterpiece.

As I mentioned earlier, and I don’t know whether it’s because of the very clever teaser campaign, but I’m looking forward to this one every bit as much as I did as an eighteen year old, when a new Stones album was a major event.

Or maybe it’s more that “Blue & Lonesome” was so unexpectedly good.

Why? Just catching up on an excellent artist that had passed me by until recently.

Jakob Dylan & Various Artists: Echo In The Canyon

Soundtrack to the documentary, which I found thoroughly enjoyable. Particularly memorable is Jade Castrinos’ performing “Go Where You Wanna Go” with a raw power not quite there in the studio recording.

Salome Leclerc, mille ouvrages mon coeur, 2021 | Bandcamp | Flac 16-44

Après trois albums salués par la critique au Québec et en Europe, récipiendaire des prix Félix-Leclerc, Charles-Cros, Rapsat-Lelièvre et Espoir FEQ, Salomé Leclerc propose un quatrième album. Pour Mille ouvrages mon cœur, l’autrice-compositrice se dévoile un peu plus et poursuit la recherche de ce singulier filon à la fois brut et arrangé en laissant une place importante aux hasards et aux heureux accidents. Elle sait à la fois travailler sa solitude et exacerber sa présence en explosant doucement.

Excellent et envoutant.

This a very expensive release and whilst I like to support an artist there is a limit.

I think I may have got one over on old Neil. Essentially all the tracks on this album have been released before apart from four tracks

Too Far Gone
Hold Back The Tears
Stringman
Sedan Delivery

You can buy these tracks individually for about £1.50 and bag the album for about £6 (adding the remaining from your Neil Young released albums) rather than the £15+ it’s going for.
