One of my favourites from her, rediscovered and released 2013.

"If you prefer early, guitar-picking bluesy Bonnie Raitt to the later, more commercial, slickly produced material, you will be in heaven listening to this. It really is like sitting in a small, intimate venue with The Lady chatting to you between tracks and playing guitar, piano and singing as only she can."

Ma Vie Dans La Tienne by Lara Fabian , arrived today so am listening for the first time. I have just about everything by this lady and she never disappoints me.

What do you think of it? I played it once at the weekend and found it hard to get into. It had a rave review in The Guardian. It's often the case that records that need a little perseverance are he most rewarding in the longer term.
Like you found it hard to get into but will need to listen to it again when I get the chance.
Similarly - I was drawn to this at the weekend by the Guardian review and HH's original post. I'm not familiar with his solo work but Ive been dipping into this & "Hendra" over the past few days. Like you I suspect they could well be "growers". Time will tell.

I like it lots, however I also liked his previous one, 'Hendra', which has been one of my go to's over the last year or so. I defo recommend giving that one a go.

Fish, Vigil in a Wilderness of Mirrors. The big man's second best album, in my opionion, behind the recent Feast of Consequences which is a modern day classic. Includes the brilliant Vigil which is wonderful live and still a regular part of his show. As different from Marillion as you can get. Flac via Audirvana/Hugo

I could not agree more. Great choice.
