Earlier The Traveling Wilburys  - Vol 1 and then Vol 3.Perhaps the second album is not as good as the first but these discs are always worth a spin

Alan

There never was a studio volume 2.... after Roy Orbison died they did vol 3, deliberately not a vol 2. Record company may have filled in the gap......but sad,y there is only 2 albums.

Yes you are correct and I phrased my comment poorly as I was referring to Vol 3 as the second album

Alan

Alan, FWIW, .....when you mentioned "Vol 1 and then Vol 3.Perhaps the second album is not as good as the first," I took your reference of the second album as the previously mentioned Vol 3. in your statement.  

I have Vol 1 & Vol 3 and enjoy them both. (also, FWIW)

I've got her first 2 albums but seem to have missed out on more recent ones. Are they as good?

Hi Steve! Well Sade is Sade. The moment you start thinking it's pop then you start thinking something else. I own the first two as well and this is good to me too.....

 

Thanks Gianluigi! Looks like a trip to the big river is called for

Monk: Big Band and Quartet in Concert. It's all good but the solo version of 'Darkness on the Delta' is terrific.

Zac Brown Band. Jekyll + Hyde. On CD from 2015. Spinning something outside the box for me. It's a CD my daughter got attending Zac's concert. She's much more country inclined than me. No doubt Zac's a talented tunesmith and he's not just all about country music.

Today's soundtrack

The Gathering: Nighttime Birds

Oddly enough, the vocals of Anneke van Giersbergen are considered the centre peice of the Gathering's earlier work but I always fel that she was far better in other acts that knew better how to use her talents. Her vocals tend to detract from some amazing instrumental work on the Nighttime Birds. Nevertheless, a great album.

Sly & The Family Stone: Stand!

getting down dirty and funkeyyyyy.
