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:
Paul McCartney. NEW. On vinyl from 2013. Wow, time flies - this album is almost five years old. Still seems new to me. Macca said a year ago he's working on a new album. Hope we hear some news soon.

Comment welcome from anyone who knows more about him than me.
Phil, If you enjoyed this one I'd encourage you to explore more of Browne's albums. I consider him among America's most talented songsmiths. He has an endearing voice, thoughtful lyrics, and his albums are well-produced with very good SQ. I have most of JB's albums and ROE is probably the least listened to of the bunch for me, so I'd say go further into his discography. His earlier albums are my most listened to. Cheers!
Melissa Etheridge. Eponymous debut on CD from 1988. Unadorned and straightforward bluesy rock delivered with edgy, passionate vocals. Works for me.
Joe Walsh. But Seriously Folks. On original vinyl from 1978. Fantastic tracks top to bottom and this pressing mastered at Sterling by Ted Jensen is a sonic gem for dynamics, soundstage and imaging.
RIP Buell Neidlinger the bass player on this session - and many others. See this lovely appreciation by Richard Williams:

Jeff A,
This is a link to a very good Roger Mc Guinn blog I came across.Very well put together with good photos and equipment.
Wishing you a good day
Cheers Ian 
A mix of R&B, Soul, Funk and downright brilliant blues. Highly recommended.
Followers of Gary Clark Jr have a listen to the 3rd track Power.
His first album ain't bad either.

IMHO I would listen to everything up to Hold On as I personally think they are all outstanding albums and a coouple are true classics. After that album I thought he went downhill. I know a lot of people rate his I'm Alive album but I can't listen to it anymore.

Hoping my CD will arrive in the post tomorrow.
Me too.
You won't regret it Nigel. The normal cd also has really good sq. I have a copy of the SACD and the sq is simply stunning.
A nice Bach Cello piece to get Tuesday morning going - Playing on Compact Disc on the excellant NAXOS label
Heavy funk to get the working day started (well, eventually)... on triple vinyl:

OK Ian, I'll join in. More Sly, on UK 1980s Edsel reissue vinyl:
Cheers Kev - Back from lunch - Where getting Funky in the office....for now - Playing on Compact Disc

From 1988, and the height of 'Rare Groove mania', a mighty fine collection of funky obscurities on the Streetssounds label. Original vinyl.
