Russell Malone - Wholly cats

I think this is my favorite Russell Malone album. His playing is very strong on this albums as is that of Larry Willis (piano). This album also contains a blues original of Russell Malone with just guitar and bass which works out very well.

Finishing my run through S&G with their last studio album. 

 

I've had a few thoughts during my excursion, perhaps a full S&G thread is merited.

Ancient s/h vinyl ex-Maidenhead Library (Wife 1 worked there)

Why? I would not by any means call myself a Genesis fan but recent mention of them made me dig this out of the collection for curiosity's sake.

I would almost go so far as saying that this is my favourite Genesis album. It does contain the famous bass pedal solo from Michael Rutherford, after all. 

I have the original vinyl of this recording and is one I will never part with as I attended the original gig when the recording was made. It was at Manchester Free Trade Hall in Feb 1973. The band were all dressed in white apart from PG so only he stood out against the white backdrop. I suspected at the time that it might be being recorded as I could see a mike suspended centre stage and the volume was much quieter than normal concerts at the venue. Great night. Great memories. Incidentally the Free Trade Hall is now a luxury hotel!

I spotted this in the used store today, but i could not remember which one was talked about here. I picked up Wind and Wuthering instead. Next time back I'll see if the Live album is still there.

There wasn’t many groups who had hits in 1979 still on a hit run by 1996/7. 

One of rock’s most  iconic female voices.

Van Morrison - Avalon Sunset, beautiful music with excellent use of orchestration on some tracks.

Double vinyl released 2014 - Formed by Jocie Adams formerly of The Low Anthem. This self-titled debut album is nearly impossible to categorize, folk traditions, country, rock, classical, cabaret, and jazz makes it a fine listen. 8)
