Second time today.
Will break a rule but have to say what a great album this is. Fabulous voice.
For anyone who has Spotify Premium (US), there are several tracks available.
Chris has also created a 100 song playlist of songs he wrote or co-wrote. Looking forward to hearing some of that tomorrow. Thanks, Ewen.
Jeff A
My pleasure Jeff as I think you may like this one. For anyone else who may want to track down some of his music he used to be in a band called the Steeldrivers along with one of Mark Knopfler favourite guitarists Mike Henderson.
A recommended complete set
Timothy Seals, A New Dawn
44KHz download, Bandcamp
Symphonic Prog, nice tinge of the dark to it. Sounds fantastic via my new Proacs. Unfortunately currently at work so X5 and cheapo desktop speakers :-(
Streaming | 16/44.1 FLAC [Bandcamp] Download
Barrows ~ Red Dawn (2014)
This is good stuff...
"Each and every song on this album is suspenseful, complex, exciting and intense. Fantastic, psychedelic, heavy and powerful [post metal, space rock] music"
Modern jazz with a bit of a popular twist to it... on bandcamp
Via Bandcamp..., sound quality seems to be a bit raw, music great...
One of my favourite jazz albums, with wonderful interplay between the two tenors.
John Coltrane style jazz on Bandcamp
On Bandcamp - good instrumental prog album...
Streaming | CD FLAC rip
James McMurtry ~ Complicated Game (2015)
Streaming | CD FLAC rip
Mark Knopfler ~ Sailing to Philadelphia (2000)
"Its music tells you the story of American music in Europe and vice-versa. Knopfler effortlessly blends country, blues, rock and soul - his trademark works better than ever - without sounding forced at all. The voices of James Taylor "Sailing to Philadelphia , Van Morrisson ("The last laugh") and Gillian Welch ("Speedway at Nazareth") fit the album perfectly in this way." - An Amazonian commenter
On CD:-
Allman Brothers Band - Eat A Peach
HD TV | Recorded Sky Arts1 HD
Jeff Beck ~ Performing This Week Live at Ronnie Scotts (2008)
Because I have not seen or listened to him for a while, this nicely fixes both.
FLAC 24/192 download
The Weepies "Sirens" (SP)
Steve and Deb's new release after five years off to start a family and battle Deb's breast cancer. Touring as well. Nice to have them back. Pop with nice harmonies.
Genuinely the first time I've noticed the bigness and glorious tone of her acoustic guitar on Both sides, now.
Followed by:
For a hard-hitting contrast.

Courtney Swain - Monstre https://courtneyswain.bandcamp.com/album/monstre
Fabulous solo release from the Bent Knee keyboards/singer. Download only.
1st run - so far interesting...
