On the eve of a new year, it's time for a new thread.
Last year's thread can be found here:

John Martyn - One World
PS - the recording of this album (amongst many others) is covered in this excellent book. A fascinating read and highly recommended.

Never knew Aimee Mann fronted this band. Certainly didn't recognize her looking at the cover but it sounds goood!
Davey Spillane - Shadow Hunter, original UK vinyl.
Fancied some Uilleann pipes tonight, this is Spillane with rock band. Some traditional numbers, some Celtic pop/rock numbers, 2 songs, one original, one a Yeats setting. Spillane is a very fine piper, the songs are good. If you like the pipes, this is a very good album.
Not sure if I have played this since I bought it in Calgary the week of it's release.
Wildwood Kin - Turning Tides, WAV CD rip
Young folk trio, they harmonise beautifully, a strong set of songs, well played. Very good first album, I look forward to their second. They were the trio who played on the OGWT 3 hour special recently, they have a lot of talent and I can see why Whispering Bob had them on.
Skip Macdonald is better known as Little Axe. Part of the Bowers & Wilkins Music Club series.
Really good album musical warts and all
One of the best sounding discs I have in my collection.

Their "Voices Carry" album is definitely worth seeking out.
Featuring a very young Aimee Mann.
A bit too cabaretesque sometimes for my liking but Melancholy Rose makes up for everything.
Been perusing the Beeb's "Live Lounge" videos, and came across this .............. Rag 'n' Bone Man - Gimme Shelter.
Outstanding! IMHO. 
.
Rag 'n' Bone Man - Human.
Ah well, why not .................. never tire of this guy's voice.
Now Playing.......
Tomasz Stanko - Leosia
Tomasz Stanko (trumpet), Bobo Stenson (piano), Anders Jormin (double-bass), and Tony Oxley (drums).
via CD Player......... In the mood for some jazz and enjoy Tomasz's trumpet playing quite a bit, so kicking of Monday evening with Leosia.

Hoping my CD will arrive in the post tomorrow.
Me too.
Now Playing........
Jan Garbarek - Magico --- Cara de Amor
Jan Garbarek (tenor saxophone, soprano saxophone), Egberto Gismonti (guitars, piano), Charlie Haden (double-bass).
via CD Player......... Love this trio, one of my favorite albums. Every time I play it I wonder why it is not played more often, simply beautiful.......
