Hi Jeff. How do you like this? I haven't had a chance to listen to it yet.
We saw Claire and Ray at Chichester Festival Theatre and loved the show. Claire said that they had been recording an album, and it's now out. The interplay between the two of them is incredible, and it's just such uplifting music.



Because this Gentleman and this album are so cool and classy. This one is a real de-stresser.

Hi Pat, half way through my first listen and it will get regular rotation. This seems slightly more "mainstream" than her first two solo releases but still the signature sound. I am enjoying it a lot. Hope you are doing well. Enjoy your weekend. Jeff A
edit - I guess I listened to it back in April but it must have been background music that day, I really am enjoying it this late morning.

Having enjoyed Fragile earlier I thought I'd give their debut album a play.

Basia Bulat - "Good Advice" - continuing to focus on 2016 releases today

Nice one, Gian. Jimmy had an amazing voice and the album sound as fresh today as when it was first recorded all those years ago. Is that a 1970 promo?

For those who haven't picked this up it is coming out in July remastered.
