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:
Rickie Lee Jones - Rickie Lee Jones
Such an evocative album, well for me anyway. Brings back so many memories.
Tea Leaves - The Scaremongers (from ‘Born In A Barn’)
The magnificent Simon Armitage turns his voice to singing (rather than reciting his poetry). ‘Down beneath the blankets we’ll be millionaires...’ Genius.
Last for today.
Involver - Great compilation album of D.J Sasha's progressive House tracks - Playing on Vinyl on Global Underground Records 2004 Moving a lot of air on my Focals 
1997 - CD(rip)...
Melody Gardot - Worrisome Heart.

Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here, vinyl 2016 reissue
2007 - CD(rip)...
Harry Nilsson - A Little Touch of Schmilsson in the Night and More, the original covers album,with 6 added tracks.
Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - Skeleton Tree. I think this is as good as any of Cave's previous albums. Very melancholy (not surprising given his son died around the time of the recording of this album).
1990 - CD(rip)...

I agree, Nigel. It's a really well recorded album too.

Streaming on NAS.......... Enjoyed 'The Other Side of Desire' so taking Rickie's 'The Evening of My Best Day' out for a spin. A good review on this album with great back up musicians for this studio album. This album is very nice indeed!

A contender for the best debut album of all time. I wonder what the studio engineers and musicians thought of it at the time. Did they realize they were there for one of the great moments in popular music?
