Rod Stewart - An Old Raincoat Won't Ever Let You Down

A guitar-tastic record but I wanted to hear, 'Ever seen a young girl growing old trying to make herself a bride' on the piano-driven Gladrags.

Playing on Compact Disc - Brilliant songs about life and being human from the fabulous Eels

I don’t normally go for compilations, but this one, We Out Here, is outstanding!

From Bandcamp:

A primer on London’s bright-burning young jazz scene, this new compilation brings together a collection of some of its sharpest talents. A set of nine newly-recorded tracks, We Out Here captures a moment where genre markers matter less than raw, focused energy. Surveying the album’s running order, it could easily serve as a name-checking exercise for some of London’s most-tipped and hardworking bands of the past couple of years. Recorded across three long, fruitful days in a North West London studio, the results speak for themselves: they’re a window into the wide-eyed future of London’s musical underground.

I'm sure the disc is really great, but reading Bandcamp's blurb, I just keep get this image popping into my head..........

Deep Purple

Burn - Qobuz Studio 

First album of the day, taking some inspiration from Bert, haven’t played this in a while, great album.

Playing on Compact Disc - Great slice of JJ from 1976 - Travelling light just epitomizes JJ  for me ......no longer than 3 mins long  and lyrics which are straight forward and get to the point.

Superb album from US trumpet virtuoso. The best jazz album I've heard all year (OK, I knw it came out in 2017, but I only got to hear it recently.
