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

More old vinyl

Why? Difficult to say. Not played in years? True. Nostalgia? Quite possibly as it reminds me of Wife 1. Relevance to some current social concerns? Now that is possible...

Of course Will You? is a great song...

The War On Drugs - Lost in The Dream - streaming, a good early/mid evening album that deserves a good listen. Some very good arrangements and production. Nice album. Keep meaning to try on vinyl, but always seems to be another that takes priority!

You should definitely get the double album, Jeff.

Norah Jones - Come Away With Me on 200g vinyl. Excellent album and a great pressing. Love her voice.

Thanks Tony! Just what I hoped I would hear!

2016 - Tidal...

I've been following them since their  2003 debut album  Keep On Your Mean Side. They've gone from strength to strength since. 

Prompted by DAV301's post.  First listen, on CD.

If you like that, her follow up album, Feels Like Home, is good too. Bought it the other day, and found it instantly likeable.

Today's arrival. Thanks for whoever posted it here last month.

And will be followed by the same duo and Paul Motian sixteen years earlier (1989):

Thanks Chris - agreed it is a good album. I was fortunate to buy a box set of her albums on 200g vinyl. Musically excellent, but some parts of the set are a bit disappointing, in particular there is a special pressing of her singing covers, some of which are not well recorded and the pressing not too good.

The music on the album is haunting, and beautiful at the same time.

Thanks for reminding me of this one Peter its happily being played right now. 

Eric Clapton - Slowhand at 70 - on vinyl. Good album, which I always play too late at night and never seem to get through all 3lps, before its time for bed!

Tokyo Adagio is a very nice album Haim - but the CD version I have has rather a high level of background hiss, which is unusual these days.  I've saved the Montreal tapes for a run on Tidal tomorrow. Regards N.

Elton John  -  "17-11-70"  (1971)

Last one today. Such a great album - thanks to Bert for originally pointing it out on here a few months ago.  Bandcamp download ALAC ->  WAV.
