What are you listening to in 2026 and why might anyone be interested?

:+1: Yes, a bit of googling and I realised it was the vinyl version released lately.

Haven’t been able to find a copy though :man_shrugging:t3:

Ray LaMontagne (Acoustic Guitar, Harmonica, Vocals), Eric Heywood (Acoustic Guitar, Electric Guitar, Pedal Steel), Greg Leisz (Banjo, Acoustic Guitar, Electric Baritone Guitar, Electric Guitar, Lap Steel Guitar, Mandola, Pedal Steel), Jay Bellerose (Drums), Jennifer Condos (Bass), Patrick Warren (Keyboards) and Ryan Freeland (Accordion).

Streaming on Qobuz (44.1/16)… a mention above from @bordersnick had me place this album in the queue and now taking out for a spin and the opening track is sounding mighty sweet!

This arrived this afternoon. First listen ? I didn’t like the first two tracks but the rest……………..i was well impressed. I think it is a naively recorded album and also not well produced. But it is still in the same “personal” vein as Joss Stone and Rae, in other words written from the soul and personal experience. Always worth a listen.

Somewhat different approach here, withLarry Grenadier; Bass & Bill Stewart; Drums.

My missus had to order it from Golden Disc in Cork and it was good value with affordable shipping too…

Hope that helps,

Simply Red. Picture Book. Now over 40 years old. I thought this was really good and is a great recording. Thought is was all a bit down hill after this.

Kate Bush | Fifty Words For Snow | 2011

Perhaps a bit corny playing this at this time but it’s one of my favourites of hers meanwhile and outside there is much more ice than snow, very treachous underfoot.
