2016 has arrived today, so time to start this thread afresh.
Last year's thread (and links to previous years) can be found here;
By listening to this type of music, everything get's again in perspective...
Streaming | Transcoded DSD

Possibly my favourite Darkroom album, unsurprisingly this download sounds better than direct streaming from Bandcamp.
...looks like it will be a string quartet evening....
Cd rip wav Fink "Wheels Turn Beneath My Feet" superb live recording.
Mary Chapin Carpenter official video from current tour
Last man standing.................still doing it at 80 years old.................
Followed swiftly by............new generation Chicago blues...............keeping the blues alive.
Vinyl trawling again
Why? It's time for some sustain, with a side of heavy.

First listen to this and already I know it will be played more, Prog with a European twist. Lovely female vocals.
If you haven't heard this you can check this out on Tidal. I posted this pic, with names, to give you an idea of the band.
On vinyl.

In his 1971 Rolling Stone review of Refugee, Lester Bangs cited it, alongside Who’s Next, as a reason to keep believing in the magic and life force of rock & roll.
Osprey,
Trusting your musical tastes I've been sampling the band's songs on YouTube. Heavy soulful blues and powerful vocals by Annisette Koppel . Very reminiscent of Janis Joplin & Big Brother and the Holding Company. The Savage Rose might have made it big had they found their way to Haight-Ashbury back in the day.
I played Boston's debut LP on the original Epic orange label from 1976 followed immediately by the 2008 Epic Legacy remaster. I always felt there was better immediacy and dynamics on the original and this comparison confirmed that. It's easier to buy remastered vinyl, but the sonic rewards of hunting down good condition original pressings are typically worth the effort for me.
