Clive, LZ II is my favourite so far. III doesn’t  do anything so far. I’ll give your recommendations a go on TIDAL. Thanks.

Phil

But surely you must like the minor blues, 'Since I've Been Loving You' from the third album. It is one of the band's highlights, particularly Page's guitar solo.

Clive, yes I like that one. Tangerine, That’s the Way and Bron-Y-Aur Stomp are musically interesting. I really like That’s the Way. I like the guitar work in Hats off to (Roy) Harper. 

Back to Gigliola Cinquetti on vinyl who won the Eurovision Song Contest back in the Seventies. She has a beautiful voice and I’m really enjoying listening to her.

Must confess to still being captivated by this album.

Must try it also.

I'm really getting in to the grove with this great album and a very cold and crisp bottle of cider. Perfect.

Her cover of Led Zep's 'Thank you' from LZII is a particular treat, Phil

This is indeed a wonderful album, my favourite of Lizz's. She has a lovely, velvety voice that is, as you say Mike, captivating. Some lovely choons too.

Lizz Wright is new to me and WOW.....what a voice!

Thanks MDS

I wholeheartedly agree.

I've come late to Bill Evans and don't understand how that's happened. I'm now catching up and the below is one of my favourites. You can't beat good live recordings.

Great acoustics at the Vanguard. The beer is pricey though 

OK now you're making me envious. 

I've been to NYC in both 2016 & 17, so Mrs Mutton has already planned 2018. Maybe next year! 

Check out the “Blue Note (in the village) - gets great artists and has the intimacy that Ronnie Scott’s used to have when he was alive. You usually need to book ahead.

There’s no jokes in the interval though

I love NYC and need to get back there soon. 

Thanks for the advice and I'll take a look at the Blue Note.

The City Winery is also a great venue. We were lucky enough to see Bebel Gilberto just before Christmas. She was amazing.

Bebel Gilberto - Awesome! ????????????. My wife would drag me over hot coals to see her ...

Oh you need to get to see her.

How many brownie points would you score with your good lady!!!!!!

   Lovely laid back jazz / blues album .............. great shout, Alan.

Unusually for me, I saw this on here and purchased it from the river without even listening to it on Tidal. You get to trust the opinions of many on here and I am a Van fan, and it cost less than a coffee from CostNeroBucks (that sounds like a cheap coffee shop but it bl**dy isn't).

Perfect description Dave and, yes, great shout Alan.

Mama Mia, Felipe. What’s next, Domenico Modugno? How about some Carmen Consoli!

I still remember the review that said “Rock and Roll isn't dead, it’s Just grown up.” Agreed, for me this and Magic & Loss which followed it are as great as anything he ever did.

Sometime to return

Unknown, but charming. Saw them live lately on another bands gig.

Emmylou Harris - Luxury Liner - early ‘80s UK vinyl

The album that taught a much younger me that country could be serious music, I discovered Emmylou through the Last Waltz album, and based on her song there I picked this up, and it’s a joy from start to finish. Emmylou has a stunning voice, she is a great interpreter of a song, she sings straight from the heart. Her “Hot Band” lived up to its name, on this album on guitar she had Rodney Crowell, James Burton and Albert Lee, the latter 2 being two of the greatest pickers of a Tele ever. A great vocalist with stunning backing, with the taste to pick great songs, the version of Townes van Zandt’s Pancho and Lefty on this is one of my favourite ever tracks.
