Last year's thread (and links to previous years) can be found here;

Vinyl. For no real reason other than that I fancied it:
St. Paul and the Broken Bones - "Sea Of Noise" (2016)
Todd Rundgren - Second Wind (CD)
Another Mary Black album that has remained one of my long-time favourites. This one has a sumptuous quality.

Some old swiss rock most of which I had forgotten about.

I saw them live a long time ago, supported someone else as I recall
Blowing the dust off this one tonight. Constant source of amazement that someone as talented as this can cruise along below the horizon throughout their career. Shame. Really talented player, singer and songwriter. He likely derives a lot of his income from having written the Dixie Chicks' 'There's your trouble'. This is A1 solo guitar/singer stuff. Other albums prove his prowess for Rock/Blues guitar too. Check him out.
Emmy The Great - "Second Love" (2016)

Contains much of the music mentioned in O'Brian's classic sea stories.
Pink Floyd. Relics (1971). On Capitol CD from 1995. Inspired by Stevee.S's recent post. I haven't played this in a while and as one who enjoys PF's catalog top-to-bottom I always find this a trippy treat.

Some TD from the Tangerine Tree project to start the day.
Largely a selection of his other collaborative albums, he's here with Bonnie Rait, Ry Cooder, Carlos Santana and others.
Makes for some great afternoon relaxing blues from John and friends.

More afternoon Hooker.....................this one gathers together many of his early recordings, often done under different nom des plumes, and thus, for different record labels, .........................but all good.
I can listen to this guy all day long...................it's easy to hear his influence on so many blues and blues / rock artists over the last few decades.
