What are you listening to and WHY might anyone be interested? (Vol. XIV)
Posted by: Richard Dane on 31 December 2017
On the eve of a new year, it's time for a new thread.
Last year's thread can be found here:
Wolfgang Voigt. GAS. Nah Und Fern.
4x boxset from 2008.
Voigt cites his youthful LSD experiences in the Konigsforst forest near his hometown of cologne as inspiration for this album.
On CD:
Sunday morning Joni. One of the greatest of all time.
The Ray Brawn Trio - Bassface, Live
Now playing..........
John Hiatt - Terms Of My Surrender
Streaming on NAS........... Kicking off Sunday with John's 'Term Of My Surrender' to get the feet shuffling this cold and lazy morning, and he is has the toes tapping and putting a smile on my face. John is working some magic this morning.........
New territory for me, courtesy of our friend Max, first spin:
I apologise if I've posted this before but I thought this deserved a re-run. Sounding excellent throughout.
Miles Davis - Neferetiti
- Bass – Ron Carter
- Drums – Tony Williams
- Piano – Herbie Hancock
- Tenor Saxophone – Wayne Shorter
- Trumpet – Miles Davis
Jimmy Page - Playin’ Up A Storm - WAV CD rip
CD picked up today in the great record shop at Hebden Bridge, played on the kitchen Qb while sorting dinner and lunches for the week. Interesting early Page, when still a session player in the ‘60s, mainly rock and roll covers. Sid at the record shop told me that the singer was a rich kid who could afford top hired gun session men to play on albums with him to help him become a star. Competent enough vocals, some classic R&R and the odd blues numbers, the fun is hearing a young Albert Lee with a young Page, and probably JP’s first album with JPJ. Fine playing as you’d expect from Lee, Page and Jones, well worth £7.
Ese and the Vooduu People, the singles album, 24/192 download
(I tagged both their singles with Singles as the album name.) I downloaded Silver Spoon during the week, 1st chance to listen properly, they are a tight band, Ese has a fantastic soul/blues/rock voice another fine song, I think their best outing yet. If the luck goes their way, they could he huge. Cheers Kev.

Now that’s a cover that’d be hard to miss on the Nova.
1994 - MOFI (2011) reissue on 2x 180g double vinyl...
Superlative recording and mastering!
Creedence Clearwater Revival - Bayou Country - UK 1st press vinyl
Picked up today, a great rock album. John Fogerty’s voice is perfect for these swamp-rock tracks, his guitar playing was as good as it gets on this album, and the songs are great. Proud Mary saw the volume knob head towards 12 o’clock.
Haven't listened to any Sigur Rós in ages. On CD, this is Takk.
John Coltrane - Blue trane

Thanks Eoin. I will pass that on.
