1993 - Just fancied listening to Jupiter & Teardrop and Fuzzy . Two fine tracks and he’s got a great voice.

Some classic Mary Black to start this evening's listening. By The Time It Gets Dark is a long-time favourite of mine, the song Trying To Get The Balance Right being particularly lovely.

Chris Stapleton - Traveller

Slipping this one on while others are temporarily preoccupied...

Excellent prompting MDS - Mary Black queued up - not listened to that album for years.

Original vinyl

Why? I though Mr Waters' final Floydian outing would add nicely to the general misery of the season.

Must confess to being long-time Mary Black fan, Ian.  I think I have all of her studio albums.  An artist I never tire of listening to.

Seems appropriate to play a bit of Family at this time of year.

1991 - off Tidal...

I always had a soft spot for this lot. The thing about Carter is that they never took themselves too seriously and neither did their audience. This is a good album but unfortunately it runs out of steam half way through.

Vinyl on the Celluloid label, gatefold sleeve with lyrics

Why? Keepin' it serious.

Horslips - Drive The Cold Winter Away

Horslips - Drive The Cold Winter Away

Streaming on TIDAL........  A mention from SLOOP JOHN B yesterday had me place this in the queue and getting a chance to take it out for a spin this morning!

 

If you like that you might like this - a little less trad and an old favourite of mine, Horslips Happy to meet Sorry to Part, I have an original vinyl copy stashed somewhere with the cool concertina shaped cover which I think should be only six sided to match the actual instrument but I guess the vinyl wouldn’t fit so they made it with eight sides! Anyway it’s a great album and streaming on Tidal

I’d forgotten just how good an album this is, St Germain Tourist on Tidal, must pick up a hard copy.

Reminded me to put “All-the way back” by Declan Sinnott.....way, way back from Horslips past.
