The Saw Doctors - All The Way From Tuam - WAV CD rip

I have a great fondness for bands I’d describe as great pub-rockers, bands who are clearly having a blast, sound like,they could lose it at any moment, sound like they have a beer at their feet, but have great songs, excellent musicianship and infectious enthusiasm,

That’s the Saw Doctors, a very Irish pub band, but several levels of craft above, this’s an album of excellent songs, ballads like Yvonne, lots of crowd pleasing singalongs with deep Irish roots, basically fine songwriting played and sung superbly. 

Eoin , a great band live, discovered them supporting Squeeze and been a fan ever since.Their concerts are just one big party and a fun singalong - " get that wasp off my sandwich!" indeed.

T-Rex - The Ultimate Collection, a 24 track best of from 1991 which gives you all you need if not a massive fan.As far as I'm concerned as long as it has "Ride A White Swan", "Hot Love", "Jeepster" and "Get it On" it will do me    

On ltd edition marbled orange vinyl...

Smoke And Noise - Chris Jones & Steve Baker

The CD of this plopped onto the doormat today. Superb Country/Blues (not sure how else to describe it), stunning musicianship, wonderful vocals and fine SQ. Just great, great music.

As you may have guessed I quite like this. Thouroughly recommended.

CJ may have passed on, but his music certainly lives on.

Beth Hart & Joe Bonamassa - Seesaw

This CD & DVD arrived this morning, fine blues and soul with a jazzy edge, this studio album sounds very good with whoever was backing them both up doing a great job. 

On CD:-

Led Zeppelin - Led Zeppelin III

Very promising first listen. Great songwriting from this  NZ born now Australian singer. Interesting voice.

Sarah Mary Chadwick - Sugar Still Melts In The Rain

I rather enjoyed 'Love in the modern age' so i've been exploring further. Just downloaded this album from Bandcamp and getting its first play. 

Josh Rouse - The Happiness Waltz

The new Mark Kozelek (did not convince me yet)

Beach House - a good one (eg Pay No Mind)

Great Stuff from The Cocteau Twins - Playing on Vinyl on 4 AD Records - Thoroughly enjoying

Norah Jones - Come Away With Me

I've been having a bit of a Norah Jones week so what better way to continue this evening than her very fine debut album?

Guy Clark, Old No.1

A £3.99 at HMV new discovery for me. Only 45 years after it was recorded ! 

It’s definitely of its era, but a properly heartfelt and original Country album, free from the Stadium Rock styling of far too many modern Country artists. This is a real find.

 

Considered to be one of the all time classic Texas country albums. Brilliant album
