What are you listening to in 2025 and why might anyone be interested?

Junior Wells - Hoodoo Man Blues. Saw this recommended on this thread a day or so ago. Giving it a go on Qobuz and it is a cracker. Thank you to the member who recommended it.

Missed them in Berwick a couple of weeks ago due to a previous commitment. I didn’t know they had an album out - I’ll add it to the play queue ! Cheers.

Streaming on Qobuz (44.1/24)… taking the 2025 Grammy award winner, Album of the Year and Best Country Album, out for a spin and Beyoncé and her talented supporting cast are sounding sublime! A fun album and even the wife dropped by the music room to say she was enjoying the music. Life is Sweet!

No wishing to mislead anyone, I was at the Royal Albert Hall gig 10 days later, the last gig of the tour and he wouldn’t tour again until 1974.
If Manchester was a “bit of a racket” I think May 27 would be best avoided, it’s included in the 1966 box set and was one of the 4 professionally recorded shows. Bliss.

Just bought the CD boxset “The WEA/East West 1988 - 1995”.

First up is her debut album and what a stellar bunch of musicians play on this album.

Lovely production from Rod Argent and Peter Van Hooke.

I remember back in day I borrowed the vinyl album off my boss and left it in the dust sleeve on my NAD power amp. When I came home the vinyl was dripping over the edge like a Salvador Dali clock. I had to go out and buy him a new copy and hope he wouldn’t notice.
