Robin Trower ~ Twice Removed from Yesterday
Originally released on the Chrysalis label in 1973 this is a well remastered CD from 2010 and forms part of his 5 CD Studio Album Series box set I bought earlier this year. Slightly slower paced and perhaps a little more bluesy in parts than his later work, this, his first solo album, is very good indeed. I seem to be enjoying RT's sound and style of play more as I age!
Aye Steve,
Mr Trower is 69 and still going strong. It's a shame that James Dewar is no more. I'm planning to see the RT band at Bury St Edmunds next March.
It looks like it's Glasgow for you on 4th April.
Good listening.
John.
Catfish and the Bottlemen, saw these on the beeb the other night and was impressed by them and their front man. First listen on Spotify and they are good enoough they I will be investing in their albums

Thanks for the heads up John. I missed him earlier this year when he played Aberdeen so its good to know I can get another chance (reasonably) nearby in April. Note to self to get organised!

Original LP from 1984

Huw,
Good to see you posting. Where were you in 1984?
This version from 2011 where some of the tracks were recorded live.
Mixing up the listening as home alone weekend fades away. Original LP
Will be followed by Tito Puente, also on LP
From one Hellhound Train (live 2011) to another...
... this one their 1972 studio album Hellhound Train. This CD released in '99. The only track in common with the 2011 live album being the title.
Icehouse: Primitive Man
Original vinyl
I tend to use songs from this this as a test of new kit but today I thought I'd play it all the way through. I like most of Seal's work but I think this, his first album, is probably his best. Excellent production quality too.
A nice counter-point to my earlier listen to Seal. A Stone's Throw From the Soul on this is a wonderful song.
Just finishing off a self indulgent musical day with my favourite Roxy album, old vinyl still sounding great. Not sure which stars have been in alignment but LP12 has been in sterling form today
Forgot to post this one earlier - original Riverside
On vinyl.
John.
