Much jazzier than Eddi Reader's album of the same name. Nice.

Sara Watkins - "Young In All The Wrong Ways" (2016) Of the albums I have heard this year, this would be my pick as my favorite. Vocalist and violinist of Nickel Creek, frequent contributor to The Decemberists, bluegrass roots, writer or co-writer of all the songs on this recording, she is spreading her wings on this release. Anxious to know what she does next, but savoring this for now.

Anais Mitchell - "Hymns For The Exiled" (2004)
Funnily enough Jeff I was playing this last night and haven't played it in such a long time. Great album shame Anais won't re-release the album that came before this her breakthrough album. I did ask her but she doesn't want to. I hope you and your good lady have a very good Xmas.

Thank you, Ewen. One of a few artists I would like to see live. And return of best wishes to you and yours. Jeff A

Final LP from '79. Soundtrack to the film of the same name, about and starring the 'Orrible 'Oo. Some blistering live performances captured on vinyl (and celluloid):

Punch Brothers - "The Phosphorescent Blues" (2015) Any band that counts Gabe Witcher as a member is a band I will enjoy. Great multi-instrumentalist.

Decades (JD) and then....

In A Lonely Place(not really a NO song, no matter what they try to tell you!).

No, you can't stream this one...

A+ | Transcoded DSD

(1978)

This caused some consternation among the TD faithful when it was released as it include actual drums and vocals, heaven forfend!

Talking Heads - Remain in Light. Tidal.

Because I heard "Once in a Lifetime" on R4 Tracks of my Years this morning and I haven't played this for many years. Great album - groundbreaking stuff for its time.
