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:
Blyth Power, Paradise Razed.
Ripped from a CD I purchased at one of their gigs at the Mean Fiddler in Kilburn in the 90's. Alternative/Folk Rock with some interesting song concepts and lyrics.
A really good compilalation of shoe gazing dream pop by Lush - Playing on Vinyl on 4 AD records 1990
Enjoying this one - Playing on Cassette on TDK SA - X.........Rock n Roll is like a wall of noise - No quater has a brilliant instrumental work out between Page,Bonham and Jones
Jimmys guitar on that is sublime - Just brilliant
Haven't played any Doc in a while.
Enjoying a few days off, JJ fits the relaxed vibe well.
The ratings are from Rovi, not me, no JJ Cale album deserves less than **** and most deserve *****

Playing very quietly as I’m looking after my youngest who’s had rather an invasive middle ear op.
Gently hypnotic.

Now Playing.......
Egberto Gismonti - Saudações -- Duetos De Violões
Egberto Gismonti (guitar) and Alexandre Gismonti (guitar).
Streaming on NAS...... Second CD of a two CD set featuring ten pieces played by Egberto and his son Alexandre, a beautiful way to start this Friday morning!
I'm still head over heels !!
Any Other - Silently. Quietly. Going Away
CD (2015)
Random selection while scanning the rack. CD Baby says it has a 90's Rock vibe and I would have to agree.
Cannonball Adderley quintet - Merci Merci Merci
- Cannonball Adderley - sax
- Nat Adderley - cornet
- Joe Zawinul - piano
- Victor Gaskin - bass
- Roy Mccurdy - drums
Now some 90's tunes. Belly - star
CD (1993)
Great Bon era DC to get the office Rocking on a Friday afternoon - Playing on Cassette TDK AR -X
Now Playing......
Sting - 57th & 9th
Streaming on NAS........... just in the mood for some Sting so taking him out for a spin.....
Nouvelle Vague - I Could Be Happy
Post-punk and new wave hits covered as acoustic ballads. We all probably need to be sipping a Fanta under a brolly, at a pavement cafe in the south of France. But this is the best I can do.
I believe Doc Cheatham was 90 when this was recorded, nice recording !
On CD:-
Led Zeppelin - Led Zeppelin
The Cannonball Adderley quintet - In San Francisco
Another great recording from Cannonball Adderley
- Cannonball Adderley - Sax
- Nat Adderley - Cornet
- Bobby Timmons - Piano
- Sam Jones - Bass
- Louis Hayes - Drums
Wooden Shjips - V.
Their new album released today, more excellent driving and/or delicate psychedelic riffs that get their influence from those early West Coast years. I just luv these boys style and this is a cracker.
ZZ Top - Eliminator.
Kicking off this overcast, gloomy, North Yorks. evening with something uplifting ............. some ZZ Top boogie ............. and why not?
Bentley Caldwell - The Place That I Call Home, Tidal
A bit late to the party, but really enjoying my first listen to this. Classy songwriting and excellent musicianship, blues beats mingle with reggae beats, fusing soul and folk sounds, just excellent all around. Another purchase looms.

Glad you like it. I too think it is superb. Just don't buy it from the river from the US as they copy this one to CD-R on demand. Fish Records is your friend here.
Red Garland Trio on vinyl
Spiritual Jazz Japan vol2
An album I am enjoying quite a bit recently. The song, Day Breaks, is particularly lovely.
Just booked my tickets for the Madeleine Peyroux concert at the Festival Hall in November. In anticipation going through my MP collection starting with Dreamland from 1996 - lovely...
ZZ Top - El Loco.
That's the trouble with ZZ Top ................ once you start .......................
More greasy Texas boogie .............. pure and simple ...................... what's not to like?
Neighbours are oot ............... so, .......................quite LOUD!
