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

Out next Monday.

Some sample tracks off this. Features Joe Bonamassa. Great soulful voice.

Coming out Feb 25th

Some wonderful reinterpretations of John's classic songs. Contributions from Phil Collins and David Gilmour. Ripped CD.

Finally home after another long, hard day, I've just taken a hot bubble bath, slipped into a comfy robe and put on my favorite pair of fuzzy slippers . Now I'm curling up on the couch with a minty mojito and thumbing through some magazines. Mini quiches warming in the oven. Thought a little AC/DC played rattlingly loud would be the perfect background music.

Bruce Springsteen. Born To Run (1975). On 1995 Master Sound gold CD. I never cared for the sound production on this album and a gold CD certainly can't dress that up, but musically it's an electric album.

Last spin of the night, Maria Tipo in a 1955 recording.

Neil Young. Hawks & Doves (1980). On HDCD from 2005. Perhaps one of NY's lesser known albums, it contains several lovely acoustic arrangements.

It's been a while since I've listened to Liszt's concertos.

Still struggling to get the No.2 but Kempff's rendition makes it easier for me understand a little.

I wouldn't think he'd be good for showy dazzling Listzt's work but his usual down to earth lyrical story telling is a breath of fresh air to many of stiff overly decorated rendition of these Concertos. The music feels like it gained a freedom.  Fistoulari gives solid and earthy foundation. 

Enjoyable trio jazz at it's best, while the drummer Brian Blade sometimes is a bit too much in the front...

Great voice. Listening on spotify to Heat Sin Water Skin

Trax off his up and coming album.
