The Rolling Stones  - Its Only Rock'n'Roll, but I like it

Time Waits For No One is a great track and Taylor's guitar solo is simply hypnotic!

Probably my favourite Taylor solo.although saying that his work on Can't You Hear Me Knocking is not too shabby

Texas  - Southside, a very good debut back when they were a pop/rock band with Sharleen's strong vocals and plenty of guitars

Gregory Porter - Nat 'King' Cole and me

Massive Attack's finest IMO and extra special for me as it was the soundtrack to a brilliant 1998 living in Sydney . Great sounds and memories .

First play and the first time I've ever heard this album. Not bad for an album that was released before I was born!

  Ry Cooder - Get Rhythm.

  The title says it all, scorching slide guitar from the master, .............. oh, and the rest of the band's not half bad too!

   Hope the new one, due out next month, and already pre-ordered, is anything like as fine as this.

Now Playing.......

Terje Rypdal - Waves

Terje Rypdal - Waves

Terje Rypdal (electric guitar, RMI keyboard computer, ARP synthesizer), Palle Mikkelborg  (trumpet, flugelhorn, RMI, tac piano, ringmodulator), Sveinung Hovensjø (6-string electric bass, 4-string electric bass), and Jon Christensen (drums, percussion).

Streaming on TIDAL........    Starting Sunday morning with Terje Rypdal's Waves. Looking out the window this morning the misty view reminded me of the album cover. As good a reason to lead to the first album of the day as any other.........

Here's a taster Alan.

  Ry at his best, I feel, and that slightly overcooked guitar sound is just gorgeous ................ just pure Southern fonk.

Fantastic album, just love the 'Brothers' album!

More Bill Evans. I seem to recall last Sunday being largely devoted to Mr Evans. Must be a Sunday thing. This is one his best IMO. If you don't have this in your collection, why not? After all, 'Everybody Digs Bill Evans'.

  Ry Cooder - Ry Cooder.

  I'm having a lazy Sunday re-listening to many of my oldest and bestest albums, following last week's 4.6 firmware update, and this one 

  has never sounded better. 

  Thanks very much to the chaps at Naim for rendering my NDS even better than before .......... and it was no slouch then.

The Vulgar Boatmen - You and Your Sister

This is the earliest (1989) of the three albums by them that I own. I cannot believe that the band weren't bigger. Maybe it was all just a bit too homespun. World's gone bonkers. No justice!

(2011)

Wooden Shjips - West

Try as I might I can't get very far away from the Wooden Shjips, Moon Duo, Josefin Öhrn etc., psychedelic rock sounds. West is just another fine Shjips album to let wash over you...

Jamiroquai - The Return of the Space Cowboy

Sunday evening tunes courtesy of the cat in the hat.

One of my favourite Mac albums.

The wilderness of Manitoba - Hymns of love & spirits

Good folk music with some great harmonies between the vocalists.

Posted on: 15 April 2018 by dave marshall

   Ali Farka Toure with Ry Cooder - Talking Timbuktu.

   Ali and Ry cook up some sublime Malian blues ............... a masterpiece, (IMHO).
