On the eve of a new year, it's time for a new thread.
Last year's thread can be found here:
Now playing..........
Alison Krauss & Union Station - So Long So Wrong
Streaming on NAS.......... kicking off this Saturday morning and going back 21 years to listen to the beautiful voice of Alison and music of the Union Station! One fine album........
Stanley Clarke And George Duke - The Clarke / Duke Project (The first one)
Funkier than a very funky thang.
Oh how I love this album and it takes me back to my Jazz-funk loving yoof, but I am sure many will dismiss it as not worthy. These boys simply gelled so well whenever they collaborated.
It would seem that my new toy (552) is more than prepared to 'get down' and funk! Love it.
October 1992 - listening to the 1st piano concerto.
Shania Twain
Greatest Hits - CD Rip

(1985)
Kate Bush - Hounds of Love
Just fancied something from Kate what with her new remasters and so on... this one is from an original fine sounding original EMI label CD.
The Police
Greatest Hits (Remastered) - CD Rip
Edward
Keith Jarrett - La Fenice
Whitesnake
1987 - CD Rip
Edward
My Baby - MOUNAIKI ~ By the Bright of Night. 24-bit/44.1khz HD download.
Escaping the cultural Chernobyl that is the Strictly Come Dancing final, time for a few albums.
An interesting mix of blues infused dance (yes really!) and to me it really works. A late but worthy contender for one of my fav albums of the year. Sounds really good too.
Hank Mobley - A caddy for daddy
Great jazz.
- Bass – Bob Cranshaw
- Drums – Billy Higgins
- Piano – McCoy Tyner
- Tenor Saxophone – Hank Mobley
- Trombone – Curtis Fuller
- Trumpet – Lee Morgan
(2011)
50 Words for Snow
Rather cliché to be playing this one from the Bush but given that there is a mixture of snow and freezing rain that's falling and having just got back from a very short 10 minute dog walk in the freezing rain with slush, snow and ice underfoot it seemed the right sort of Kate to follow on with. An album that divides Bush fans but I like it a lot.
John Grant - Love Is Magic. 24bit/96khz HD download.
First play and have high hopes for the latest from Mr. G. If the track he performed on Jools Holland is representative then all should be just fine.
Vinyl released 1986 - Excellent debut album, and a fine backing personnel. ????
T-Bone Burnett - acoustic guitar, producer
Peter Case - vocals
Mitchell Froom - producer
Jim Keltner - drums
Roger McGuinn - guitar (12 string)
David Miner - bass
Van Dyke Parks - keyboards
Plus a host of others.
