"If you want a real laugh, drag out the Doors' first album and compare Jim Morrison's "Backdoor Man" with Howlin' Wolf's version on this CD. Then ask yourself who REALLY "ate more chicken than any man ever seen." I think the answer will be painfully obvious."
[From anonymous Amazon review]

On CD:-
Pork Records...never let me down.
Ah happy memories, should have been at a lecture, travelled to Woverhampton (ahem as to why)...found this in WH Smiths throw our pile....and I was hooked...
Then a jaunt to Holland (over which Dear, gentle reader we draw a vale......)
Still really enjoyable
Do I need to say on the blackstuff
Rocking with the Quo on vinyl
A bit Schenk and Moggy
Jean-Louis Murat, Le cours ordinaire des choses
First listening. Recorded in Nashville with local musicians. A lot of slide guitar and a very involving sound. Beautiful as usual.
It's probably one of the most difficult french artists for non french-speaking people, as his texts are always poetic and never explicit, but the music alone is really great.
I'll make it a little easier for you:
- Listen on Amazon here
- Watch on YouTube here, here and here (these are extracts of a movie included in a special edition of the album)
Enjoy!

Earl Wild: The Art Of The Transcription, Volume 1
Why? This album gives me so much joy! Everything from Rameau, Bach, Wagner, Rimsky-Korsakov, Kreisler, Mendelssohn, Rossini, Chopin, Tchaikovsky, Strauss, Glinka, Donizetti and Gershwin.
There is a passage in the middle of Gioacchino Rossini's (1792-1868): Grande Fantaisie on "Semiramide" that has such a remarkable effect on me (from around the 5 to 10 minute mark) that it is simply unexplainable. I can listen to this section only for an hour straight as this part just takes me prisoner. This is a perfect example of music that I don't think I could ever play on the piano for someone as I simply wouldn't be able to keep my composure. It begs the question then how professional musicians can detach themselves from the emotional aspect of music and keep their wits about them yet deliver so much emotion?

Doug,
So many composers. That sounds a bit like the yellow pages..
Here is the only disc of the great pianist of the 20th century collection which I have (and it is exceptional):
