Staying with Brit comedies
Peter’s Friends The Album.
Bowes and Morley. 2002. CD. Thunder duo mix rock with a bit more soul and funk. Some really good songs, Morley is a great writer imho.
I like them, very impressed with their music.
Billie Eilish - Hit Me Hard And Soft
In which the enormous potential of her first two albums is realized. This is my early shout for album of 2024. Simply brilliant work from BE and brother Finneas.
The last of the soundtracks tonight
The In-Laws, again, a nice selection of music, bought primarily for the couple of exclusive McCartney tracks. But also worth the price of admission to hear Ella’s take on “Sunshine Of Your Love” !
More Bowes and Morley. 2nd Album. CD. 2004. While Thunder were on hiatus. Mix of originals and covers of Steve Wonder, Free and more. More soul and funk than Thunder.
