First couple today starting with Jimmy Smith - The Cat , a fine album with his Hammond organ to the fore but with his drummer and guitarist augmented with a brass section.

Then Bruce Hornsby - Halcyon Days, a later album that sees guest spots from Sting,Elton John and Eric Clapton.

Wow that brings me back! I still have it stashed somewhere. Streaming it on Tidal now is giving me flashbacks!

Lightnin' Hopkins - Eight Classic albums.

Some Saturday afternoon blooze, with this 4 CD set, covering eight of Lightnin's albums.

Remastered impeccably, as usual, by the folks at Real Gone Music.

The choice of the day:

The other choice was grab my ticket and drive to attend the AXPONA HiFi show, but for some reason I am not in the mood for wondering among nerds with a glassy look in their eyes admiring 100K gear which allows them to hear someone on the second row scratching his tusch during a live recording...

Eric Clapton - Theres One in Every Crowd , a more reggaefied and low key follow up to 461 but stands the test of time nicely IMO

Now Playing........

Natalie Cole - Thankful

Streaming on TIDAL......... A mention from GIANLUIGI MAZZORANA had me place this in the Tidal queue and now taking this out for a spin......... A familiar voice, a blast from the past that is sounding sweet!

Charlie Musselwhite - One Night In America.

Some gentle blues and country from Charlie on vocals, with able assistance on guitar from GE Smith and Robben Ford ..............

shades of J. J. Cale, which can't be a bad thing.
