Enjoying…
Thanks to @johnt and @Dreadatthecontrols for reminding me to seek this artist out, as a track played on Radio 2 on my evening drive home from work earlier in the week, stood out for me to check out further. Powerful voice, a bit ‘close mic’d’ sounding on my system, but a talented and highly listenable voice.
Thanks again for the heads-up.
Opening track ‘Blackbird’ so well recorded and sublime melodic double bass and soft snare. Nice!
Qobuz/Roon 48/various
Since 1990 Newcombe and a revolving door of musicians have released 19 albums of psych, folk, prog, indie, Krautrock whilst hitting the road as and when they can. Their 20th album is now upon us and it’s one of the finest things Anton Newcombe has ever released.
The Los Angeles folk-punk singer-songwriter steps into a more expansive, considered sound, blending various strains of American roots music into a quietly idiosyncratic style.
So received the replacement album but was a reissue and the SQ was not as good as the poor Discogs one. So cleaned it up and kept it…
Never heard of this band before, but this is nice uplifting stuff for a sunny morning.
Bought this in 1973…I liked the picture on the cover. Not the only lp I bought because I liked the sleeve.
Genesis - Nursery Cryme
Playing this after reading that Dan Steel, formerly of this parish, was and remains unimpressed. He used slightly more colourful language! This is one of those albums that instantly clicked with me. It seems so English with true beauty and creativity, introducing us to masterpieces, such as The Return of the Giant Hogweed and the opener, the mighty Musical Box.
