What are you listening to and WHY might anyone be interested? (Vol. X)

Hi Ewen

I liked it, will need some more listens.  I have dabbled via Spotify with some of his lesser known releases and find myself really liking his song craft.  The tribute album has helped there as well because the new interpretations of those artists give different slants on the songs then JB did in his original releases.  

Hope you are well.

Hi kk

An artist new to me, but have seen some prior mentions of it here and have enjoyed this.  Will have to go back to some of his work with Blur as well, the name seems familiar but I don't recall having heard them.

hi Jeff, 

i have never listened to the blur era, I was and still am an oasis man!  But this album to me is something special. I have thought to myself I need to investigate more. His gorillaz work is great but I just can't go near the blur stuff, just yet!

enjoy

One of my better second-hand buys. On CD. I like the book-style cover too.

John Hiatt "Master Of Disaster"

Joe Henry "Invisible Hour"

Fancied listening to the second best Mac album.  Yes, you all know what's No1.

Oh,well (pun intended), if we're talking the Green era then it would be :

...with the beautiful, albeit short, Man of the World.

Paul McCartney "New"

I love this album

Hawkwind - PSYCHEDELIC WARLORDS (The Best Of)  -  on cd.

on the Cleopatra label, if you mixed the albums Master Of The Universe, Roadhawks and Stasis together you get the gist of this compilation, excellent sound quality on this release.

This post prompted me to listen to the Pretzel Logic for the first time from Mike's Stash. I have never owned anything before Katie Lied.

I had no idea 'Rikki Don't lose That Number' came from this album!

This is a  80s MCA US reissue but it is low noise and sounds pretty good.

Here's another mega hit album I have never got to listen to.
Released in '81 ( that's the whole decade I did not own hifi or bought any records ) I reckon this is still an analogue recording, sounding fabulous albeit this isn't a kind of record I would have bought. ( heavy American folk influence )

Once is enough for this soft folk pop meets easy jazz tunes.
