Lucinda Williams - West
Streaming on NAS........ Lucinda at her finest, then I find myself saying that after listening to her on any of her albums. A fantastic vocalist, songwriter, guitarist who always has a great band playing with her. West is one fine album!
Don Cherry: Art Deco.
Liked it during my workout...

I only saw them once on the Number the Brave tour 1981 and thought they where great.I remember they started the set with "The King will come" it was wicked.Argus is their big album.
Happy listening - Rock on Mate
Yes I caught them at The Fairfield Halls in Croydon on their 1973 tour. It was a really good night loads of their early big numbers got played (very well) the place was rocking. If you don't happen to have any of their live albums go for Live Dates (not Live Dates 2 or 3) good stuff from their early years.
Cheers.
Argus is my favourite Wishbone Ash set and also saw them a few times in the 70's .Lost interest in them after I had a fight with them on a tour bus.
Brilliant, Ewemon. Bet there aren't many people who can claim that!
I agree Argus is their best.
Laurie Wisefield who I saw and liked in the band Home had not long joined.
If memory serves me well think There's the Rub was about to be released.

I recently saw this incredible performance on youtube of her and Tom Jones taken from the This is Tom Jones tv show. Link: Raise Your Hand.
What a chemistry between those two!
