Eduardo Eguez: Bach Lute Music
Yesterdays' purchase. First play, sounds very interesting so far.
John Mayer
"Room For Squares"
Nina Simone - Here Comes The Sun
One from my youth. Great album. Well recorded.
Hi-res Naim download. Fabulous album.
Amos Lee
"Amos Lee"
Pretty old recording which is pretty flat but this CD was very cheap. Very bluesy and the classic Canned Heat songs of On The Road Again and a live version of Let's Work Together are enjoyable.
Ali Farka Toure w/Ry Cooder
"Talking Timbuktu"
So pleased that this finally showed up on Spotify. I have been searching
for a download unsuccessfully. I owned this many years ago, don't recall
in what format and don't remember what I did with it (age related I suspect).
So very nice to hear this again. One of my personal top 25 all-time.

Not played this for a while. The quality of the recording is almost a shock having played some lesser CDs. Makes me realise what my system is capable of.

An excellent album, Saharan Blues at its best! Also try to give Ali's "In the Heart of the Moon" a listen if you can.
Missed a piano concert due to traffic jams, so compensating now at home
Ray LaMontagne
Supernova"
subtle...

City and Colour
"The Hurry and the Harm"

Those who love "beard music", i.e. Fitzsimmons, Fleet Foxes, Iron & Wine, Bon Iver, et.al. might find something to like here. Don't let the fact his most recent releasee is as a duo ("you + me") with Pink throw you off. Check that out as well.
Nice background music for reading a book
One of his best.
Zehetmair Quartett
Thomas Zehetmair violin
Matthias Metzger violin
Ruth Killius viola
Françoise Groben cello
Recorded August 2001, Radio Studio DRS, Zürich
Chill Out. The album that created a genre.... a beautiful piece of ambient created by Messrs Drummond and Caulty of the KLF with contributions from Dr Alex Patterson of The Orb.
