Roberta Flack - First Take (Qobuz HR)
What a remarkably fantastic debut album, its got it all going on Soul, Jazz, Folk, Gospel,Blues, some spiritual world vibes…
Unbelievable really that it took Clint Eastwood’s Play Misty For Me a few years later for this album to get noticed.

Quincy Jones - Gula Matari (Qobuz)
1970 Creed Taylor Quincy Jones Big Band album kicking out some fine grooves aided and abetted by,
Milt Jackson vibes, Don Elliott marimba, Hubert Laws flute, Jerome Richardson soprano sax, Freddie Hubbard trumpet, Al Grey trombone, Eric Gale guitar. Strong keyboard playing from Herbie Hancock and Bob James, some guitar and a bit of bonkers scatting and whistling from Toots Thielman and a touch of soul singing with Valerie Simpson
Its a gas!
Not sure if you’re still a downloader. There is an album set on Qobuz for £8.99 that is great value. It is a package called The Bobby Whitlock Story - containing his first two solo albums from 1972 Bobby Whitlock and Raw Velvet.
Very much a downloader……will check it out👍
Waiting for Chinese takeaway.
Who’d have thought they’d be so busy on Mothers Day🤷🏻♂️
Been listening to Rush on and off all day as we’ve been driving between both mums.
Started with Signals, then Test for Echo, Counterparts, 2112 and now Snakes & Arrows 
This is the wife of Bobby Whitlock, who was married to Delaney Bramlett when she recorded this album, small world.
Isaac Hayes. Black Moses.
Gave away my vinyl copy but still have the 2cd edition which is also beautifully packaged. Streaming tonight though. His best album imo.
