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'd love someone to explain to me why this is thoroughly immersing with Apple AirPods, so so in the car over Bluetooth, and ok on the Nova. Some things seems to benefit from that 'up close' ear/headphone treatment, whereas I often find albums can be immense fun on the car stereo but detailed and average through better equipment.
Now Playing......
Sean Rowe - Magic
Streaming on NAS........... Time for a little magic with Sean after spending a few hours with my 7 & 9 year old granddaughters at the beach, nothing like a little cold salt water on a very warm day to cool things down! Life is Grand!
Duke at the Roadhouse: Live in Santa Fe: Eddie Daniels and Roger Kellaway. Clarinet-piano duo with occasional cello.
Two top class musicians playing mainly Duke tunes.
Yesterday evening, nice album
Ok but a but uninspired...
Another one during workout...
Double vinyl released 2018 - Great mix of tracks, fine compilation. ????
Van Morrison - The Healing Game.
Yet another gap filled in my Van collection .......... again, pennies on The River ............. so much great music ............ so little cost!
Too hot to do any work, so a random pick from the CD mountain:

Nice, I've always liked that Rolled Gold collection.
Van Morrison - Down The Road.
Yet another Van album, this one a bluesy, soul offering ............ can one ever have too much Van? ........... nah, 'course not.
On mint green vinyl...
On vinyl...
On CD
Ben Harper and Charlie Musselwhite - No Mercy In This Land.
Second collaboration from Ben and Charlie, and it's a great follow up to their first outing.
Modern day blues songs from Ben, with stunning traditional harp from Charlie. Highly recommended.
Nice album, on vinyl...
Yello - Touch.
Some mellow Yello on this scorchio North Yorks. afternoon.
Sloop John B posted:A near perfect double album if it had ended with Revolution Rock rather than the REO Speedwahonesque Train in Vain.
What an explosion though!

One of my most listened albums.
but I even like Train in Vain

A clue please ?
Malia and Boris Blank - Convergence.
Following on from some mellow Yello ^ , it has to be this stunning album from Malia and Boris.
Malia's hauntingly beautiful vocals are at no point overwhelmed by Boris's production, and the whole thing is just ideal to chill out
with a cold one, pre-dinner.
(1967)
Something from the fabs doing their psychedelic stuff, just the job on this very fine sunny evening. This one ripped from the half-speed vinyl remasters of "The Beatles - Collection" by Stan Ricker for MFSL in 1982.
Ry Cooder - Prodigal Son, a great return to form.
Nubya Garcia - Nubya's 5ive
Nice modern jazz
