The Honourable Ewemon had this on one of his posts. Accepting his taste is very fine I searched and bought. It is wonderful. Country gospel of the finest order. As Marc Cohn once said 'Maam I am tonite'.
Glad you like it.
Country music rawk night.
Sent to me by a Swedish friend. Not bad. The guy has something to do with the Swedish Rock band Bonafide (think that is what they are called). This however is more of a Blues rock album.
Had this one sitting on a To Play pile since July/Aug last year finally got around to doing so. Not bad.
Thumping beats for a coding marathon.

MFSL vinyl from the first time around.
One day a friend came over wanting to hear Reubke's 94th Psalm on my system.
I remember I was transfixed on the couch for an entire 30 min. Never heard of this composer or anything about the piece, he told me that Julius Reubke was Listz's student ( some Listz's Fantasia like riff present ) and dead at 24!
This is some heavy stuff.
I am more impressed with the impeccably well reserved original vinyl than rather dull Bruno Walter/NY Phil performance. ( 46 recording at the Carnegie )
This is a polar opposite from Toscanini or Klemperer set which are hell of a lot more alive and rhythmically charging. I wish I could have their recordings in the same quality as this Columbia pressing. I am surprised that the bass dynamics and tonal balance is very good in spite its vintage.
Franz Schubert: Works for Solo Piano, Volume 1 - Barry Douglas
Piano Sonata No. 21 in B flat major, D960
Du bist die Ruh, S558 No. 5 (after Schubert D776) -Transcribed for piano by Franz Liszt
Ungeduld (No. 7 from Die schöne Müllerin, D795) -Transcribed for piano by Franz Liszt
Fantasie in C major, D760 'Wanderer'
1942 live recording of Shostakovich Symphony No.7 ( Leningrad ). Unlike the Walter Carnegie set above this was done at the infamous studio 8H recording studio. The sound is dry, dry dry...
Grateful Dead, Sunshine Daydream on CD. I find it very easy to work to the Dead...
