What are you listening to and WHY might anyone be interested? (Vol. XIV)
Posted by: Richard Dane on 31 December 2017
On the eve of a new year, it's time for a new thread.
Last year's thread can be found here:
I heard 'Murder of Birds' played yesterday which reminded me to give this one a spin. Fantastic voice and a rather nice recording too.
Jesca Hoop - Kismet Acoustic E.P
Sandoval up to his usual pyrotechnics, but with the volume turned up a bit this afternoon - great stuff !
I’ve just got this, as it features John Taylor, one of my favourite jazz pianists. I’d never heard of the French bass player - his name is misspelt in the metadata - but he is very good indeed.
(1969)
More fine music this one The Allman Brothers Band's eponymous debut which still sounds wonderful.
(2010)
Bad Vibrations - The Black Angels
These boys doing their great psych and acid rock stuff again, on the title track they are paying mighty fine homage to one part of their musical influences with great sounding Jim Morrison like vocals backing up their riffs.
Streaming ripped from CD.

"There & Back" - Jeff Beck (CD)
It seems that some people quite like this album, but so far, not one of my favorites from Beck, though it has its moments; perhaps the production doesn't help?
I'll have to give it some more listens, to see if I can get into it more, as I've recently found "Jeff Beck's Guitar Shop" to be rather more enjoyable than I remembered.
I am one such. I think this might be his best. I think it'll be worth the effort.
1st ncomplete run, will need more runs to determine...
Glen Frey
Above The Clouds - The Very Best Of Glenn Frey - Qobuz Streaming
Edward
Blackfield II.
My first play of this album and I have enjoyed this one more than their last offering.
North Mississippi Allstars - World Boogie Is Coming.
Taking a lead from SJBABBEY, mo' Allstars boogie ................ hell, yeah! 
Thanks to Alba1320 for the reminder. What a cracking album this is!
IMHO, of course.
Dave Edmunds - Chronicles, a comprehensive best of .Why? Because I've been amazed by "I Hear You Knocking " from the first time I heard it on Top Of The Pops in 1970
Haven't played this Miles Davis album in years interesting the way he was fusing electric guitar and rejecting traditional Jazz structure.Sounding very nice on LP12 - Ittok - Decca London Supergold - Playing on Double Vinyl on Colombia Records 1970.
A random pick from the shelves. 1980s vinyl:
ZZ Top - Rio Grande Mud.
Today's new arrival, ripped and streaming .................. Toptastic! 
I haven't played any Floyd for a while, and even longer for this particular album.
Phil Coliins - Hello,I Must Be Going! , which IMHO is his second best solo album and a sonic treat on first pressing Virgin cd
Porcupine Tree, Stars Die, The Delerium Years.
Carrying on with a Mr Wilson theme, This is a cracking collection of PT tracks, well ordered and sounding lovely.

Now Playing.........
Kandance Springs - Soul Eyes
Streaming on TIDAL....... Needed to brighten up this Monday afternoon, one sure way of doing that is just put on Kandance Springs! Simply fantastic voice, lyrics and music!
Jethro Tull - Heavy Horses - vinyl
As promised yesterday after a hard day’s gardening. Too many things to do on Sunday. But enjoying how the new 252 has brought this even more alive. An exciting interplay of strings and wind.
Felt like the horse yesterday as I dug the patches for the flowers. Added an arbor with the help of my former builder, now a retired handyman. Now we can enjoy the sun with some protection when it’s high in the sky. Must try that that Sauvignon Blanc seated with friends and Family in the arbor. Can see the appeal of a wireless speaker.
