Creeping up to jesus is a great album. Own the vinyl but can't listen. Cd in my discogs wantlist. 
Another great Fontana vinyl!
I already had this on vinyl, but just downloaded it from Qobuz along with 4 hi-res albums. It's a fantastic album and brings back memories of my student days. Playing this while summoning the courage to play "The Endless River" for the first time.
Hope I won't be too disappointed!

Hi Hook
If you are enjoying that I must recommend the album below, "10 Song Demo". It was originally recommended here several years ago by someone who is an infrequent visitor. It is a very simple production. Along with RC enormous talent (and heritage) the secret is also her working with her husband, musician and producer John Levanthal.

Fancied some super-tight funk-soul (and I love this album's slow-burning version of "Comin' Home Baby")

"In gratitude I send these songs, these blues mantras out in dedication to the Divine Madmen who have heard existence itself whisper through their own voices and who in turn translated that sound into music. Those whose ways have inspired art and culture for so many centuries. And for what reason?... Because music is a great journey to be part of." - Harry Manx Released in Canada in 2006. Produced by Jordy Sharp Harry Manx on Mohan Veena, Six String Lap Guitar, Banjo, Harmonica and Vocals."
New to me (unfortunately) until recently.
"Harry Manx has been dubbed an "essential link" between the music of East and West, creating musical short stories that wed the tradition of the Blues with the depth of classical Indian ragas. His unique sound is bewitching and deliciously addictive to listen to.
Harry forged this distinctive style by studying at the feet of the masters, first as a sound man in the blues clubs of Toronto during his formative years and then under a rigorous five-year tutelage with Vishwa Mohan Bhatt in India. Bhatt is the inventor of the 20-stringed Mohan Veena, which has become Harry’s signature instrument."

Mogwai - Happy Songs for Happy People
I obtained this CD out of curiosity and it is absolutely fascinating. He has created some very original versions of the songs used.

That's interesting Steve. I have a few of him with his Earth Band which, I really enjoy. I will have to check this one out.

My second listening of this. Don't usually go for recordings of live performances but I'm very impressed with this one. Sound quality is very good and Floyd seem as if they're enjoying themselves.
