2016 has arrived today, so time to start this thread afresh.
Last year's thread (and links to previous years) can be found here;
A mix of understated but beautifully played of standards and original compositions.

(1988)
Gentle melodic and ethereal, this ambient mix of electronic and traditional instruments is a lovely way to start Sunday morning.
Stephen Stills. Eponymous solo debut on original vinyl from 1970. A real blockbuster for its assemblage of musical talent and my favorite Stills album.
Tom Odell
Billie Marten
Second play (vinyl). This is beautiful music indeed:
An easy start for Sunday. Prompted by Stevee's earlier post.
Some early DS for Sunday morning. It's funny but it only been in recent years that I've come to properly appreciate Dire Straits' early work. I previously used to think it a bit 'soft'.

I've never thought that Mike. For me, it all went wrong when David Knopfler left and it all started to get a bit supergroup.
If you've not already seen it, imo worth having a look at the BBC's Arena film of the early stuff. Easily findable.
Enjoy Communiqué.

Chilling to JJ on Vinyl
Some first listens. Fall into the bluegrass, american genres.
Crooked Still - Some Strange Country
(2010) CD
Hot Rize - When I'm Free
CD (2014)
Prompted to by listening to a bit of this at a friend's this morning (albeit the 'bit' I listened to isn't on the CD version 
)
An old favourite.
A phenomenally good record and recording.
