There was no-one like Nick Drake. Pure brilliance. A gentle soul, taken far too soon.
I will play one of his albums later today, now that you have reminded me. Thanks.
I don’t know why I thought of this maybe cause it’s a beautiful warm spring afternoon. Bubblegum, love the titles people come up with.
Edison Lighthouse On the Rocks (remastered - that might help )
Thelonious Monk - Monk’s Music
Tom Scott & the LA Express - Tom Cat
Tom Scott - Saxophone, Woodwind
Robben Ford - Guitar
Max Bennett - Bass
John Guerin - Drums
Larry Nash - Keyboards
If the above look familiar check out the classic Joni Mitchell albums.
On this album Joni Mitchell appears on the track Love Poem which sounds like a lost song off Hissing of the Summer Lawns.
A friend HIGHLY recommended this this morning.
Des Rocs - Dream Machine
Giving it a listen whilst waiting for the Solar Energy guy to arrive.
It might take a couple of listens and on a better system than the Sonos Beam to fully evaluate it, I don’t hate it🤔
Once you see the woman on the cover you won’t be able to ‘unsee’ her each time you look at the cover.
Interesting……i have that album and never noticed before. I will always see her now😁
Thanks Andy…I see it now …very subtle but as you say it will always stand out.
Something new I have learned today
Wishing you a good day mate
I wrote my Masters thesis on that phenomenon, many years ago. More to it than, er, meets the eye.
Getting my freak on with three albums featuring a roster of San Francisco’s finest at their peak. Reminded of these albums by an article on the always interesting Aquarium Drunkard website
David Crosby - If I Could Only Remember My Name.
Paul Kantner and Jefferson Starship - Blows Against the Empire.
Mickey Hart - Rolling Thunder
Supertramp - Breakfast in America
I’ve seen this crop up in a couple of Ten Most Frequently Played lists. That doesn’t surprise me as it’s a jolly fine record. I remember waking up at Knebworth on 11 August 1979 to Take the Long Way Home being played over the PA. I’m playing my original vinyl copy, which was given to me decades ago by the lovely Caroline.
The Beta Band - The 3 EP’s, CD rip. Why weren’t these guys huge, beggars belief really. Yet another great Scottish band.
