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:
Aphex T. Selected Ambient works Vol. 2
Stretching over two decades, these recordings have vividly displayed the pianist’s remarkable talent, which was exceptional at the start of this period in his career and has developed superbly. As this release’s title indicates, this compilation presents examples from some of these albums although they do not cover all the years – the first track is from 1995, the last from 2003.
Both of their albums are highly recommended

Haven't seen that album posted on here for quite a while.

just a few days after this flew in and I am fully in love (aand swear the cover picture only has a minor part in my love). What an inspired bunch of musicians, crowned by Melody Gardot‘s multi lingual singing. And her voice ! And the communication with the various European audiences. CD of the year, already.
MAN !
Studying the album cover closely, I think she’s playing an ES335.

I have frequently posted that album. It is, after all, one of the finest rock albums of all time.

She is very talented, as is her band. I was seriously impressed at the professionalism of all of them when I saw her live.

Must have missed your postings, Clive. I agree it's a great album.

StoneyB & Grandpa Elliott an album called French Quarter. A really good feel good electric blues album
StoneyB used to play with Buddy Guy at one point in his career along with a whole host of Chicago blues acts.
Fancied listening to some Jimi before dinner.

Always a fine choice.
Another feel good blues album.
Eric Bibb and JJ Milteau - Lead Belly's Gold.
A mix of live and studio tracks, this is another mellow blues album from Eric's band, together with French harp player JJ Milteau.
(2009)
Shpongle - Electroplasm
More rather wonderful tripped out stuff from the ever reliable and inventive Mr. Posford, this great album starts off really hot and heavy with strong Goan influences (obviously).

Not sure. Those tuners look too large
Saw this posted on another forum earlier and thought it's been too long since I last played this fine album.

Nice sense of irony chaps! 
Another run, now a full one...
Steve Hillage - Düsseldorf whilst cooking dinner. Great groove!

1972 - UK first pressing...
Now Playing......
Mary Chapin Carpenter - Between Here and Gone
Streaming on NAS....... after Come On Come ON I ran some errands and returning home I needed to listen to more of Mary's voice. On the opening track on Between Here and Gone, she covers a Johnny Cash song, "Still Miss Someone" and the her voice & acoustic guitar are just fantastic. Looking forward to her new album release in March.
The new Ezra Furman album released yesterday
First play this evening - interesting rendition of Lithium 
One of my favourite Johnny Rawls soul tinged blues albums.
