Oh that’s an album from my youth. I can remember recording it into cassette so that I could play, rewind, play again etc. to work out exactly what Michael Bloomfield was playing. I must get the vinyl out and remind myself of that time. Great album. Better than the John Mayall Beano album? Discuss.
Hilary Hahn - Bach and voice
Nico > Chelsea Girl (24/192)

Nope, it's a great album but Beano is better.
Delightful piece of Vivaldi Recorder on Compact Disc on Naxos
Great heavy blues rock, loud is even better!
Continuing my Bill Evans study from yesterday, today joined by Jim Hall for the album Undercurrent. Beautiful playing from both masters of their instruments and playing together very well.
Debut album by Australian garage rock band The Hoodoo Gurus - Playing on Compact Disc on A@M Records 1984
Now Playing......
Fred Simon - Since Forever
Fred Simon (piano), Paul McCandless (soprano saxophone, oboe, english horn, bass clarinet, duduk), Steve Rodby (acoustic bass), and Mark Walker (drums, percussion).
via CD player......... Something mellow for this Monday morning to kick off the day. The first track 'Since Forever' is sounding mighty fine!
Playing on Compact Disc on Decca Records 1970
Bill Frisell: Lagrimas Mexicanas.
The Glove. Blue Sunshine
DE of 1983 supergroup one off. Bob Smith from The Cure and Steven Steverin from Siouxsie and the Banshees.
Delightful mash up, with some Malcolm McLaren influences clearly lifted.
Ray Charles - Genius Loves Company.
Having just successfully negotiated the 4.6 streamer update, I'm in the need of something relaxing to calm things down here, and
this is doing the job nicely.
Ray Charles final studio album; this is simply great music in the form of duets with famous artists and friends.
Now Playing........
Arild Andersen - In-House Science
Arild Andersen (double bass), Paolo Vinaccia (drums), and Tommy Smith (tenor saxophone).
Streaming on TIDAL........ Taking this new release out for a second spin.
Jah Wobble definitely had that "something" over "Sid" when it came to playing bass..
Nice bit of Dub Reggae - And a lovely Looking Bud - Playing on On You Sounds Records on Vinyl
(1977)
The Alan Parsons Project - I Robot
A fine early album of British prog rock going down very nicely with a glass of something chilled.

For sure one of the best albums ever made by mr Parsons. The ballads are all this years later for me still the best ever. Goosebumps

Bob Smith? I don’t think anyone has ever referred to Robert Smith as Bob! Or Steven Severin as Steverin come to that. I’ve not heard that album for many years - I used to really enjoy it when it came out.
