A scrummage of indie bands I’ve never previously heard of do a track by track cover of Smiley Smile LP.

Miraculously, it not only works, but in places is quite transcendent.

(I came across it awhile ago in Tom Smocker’s excellent Why The Beach Boys Matter book).

Yeah right…:wink:

I’ve never been a great fan of period performances and of fortepianos, but I Shazammed this a few days ago. It’s a lively, energetic but respectful rendition on a miraculously in tune instrument. To my romantic ears, the balance of Baroque clarity and modern participation is noteworthy.

Hiromi - Sonicwonderland

Very different from her Trio Projects, pretty interesting nonetheless. I was surprised by the high dynamic range of this album (14), quite rare these days.

Not having good morning but against the odds I’m finally sitting down to breakfast with some music.
Al Green. The Belle album.
Usually play his earlier stuff but this was first in my Core library. Spotted an album I’ve not played in a while by a group under the letter B so that is next hopefully.
