On Vinyl
Finally getting around to listening to his latest album via Qobuz, joining the Cooderfest.
Ry Cooder - Into The purple Valley.
Continuing the late afternoon Cooderfest with this one ................ though Señor Cooder has been so consistently good down the
decades, that one could choose almost any of his many albums, and be certain that one would not be disappointed, IMHO. 
Now Playing........
Oregon - Oregon
Paul McCandless (soprano saxophone, oboe, tin flute, English horn, bass clarinet, musette), Ralph Towner (prophet 5 synthesizer, piano, classical guitar, 12-string guitar), Collin Walcott (percussion, tongue drum, sitar, bass drum, voice), and Glen Moore (double-bass, viola, piano).
Streaming on TIDAL......... Exploring the Oregon catalogue, going back to the original, sounding mighty fine!
Prompted by the sunny weather. This album's vibrancy seems suited somehow. Would also suit being played loud in a convertible car while cruising the sunny seaside.
Playing on Vinyl on Twin Tone Records 1986 - Really good album by American Jangle Pop band The Feelies
Gary Smulyan with Strings. Classy baritone sax.

Yes, Mike, I think it has quite an American feel to it. I could imagine the driving beat of BIg Love pounding out whilst cruising along Sunset Boulevard - great stuff.

These new bands just seem to be getting younger and younger!

I saw these supporting Little Feat many years ago, and they were absolutely awesome, (in the true sense of the word) 
Some tasteful piano
