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:
Freddie Hubbard - Blues for Duane
Great recording of a live concert by Freddie Hubbard in Poland, 1991. With a nice version of 'God bless the child'.
- Freddie Hubbard - Trumpet
- Donald Braden - Tenor sax
- Jeff Chambers - Bass
- Ronnie Mathews - Piano
- Ralph Penland - Drums
After Joni Mitchell, moved on to a fellow Canadian, K.D. Lang - Ingenue on vinyl. What a great voice.
Richard Thompson- Celtschmerz - WAV CD rip
RT recorded live on a solo,tour in 1998, joined for the later songs by his son Teddy. Brilliant songs , superbly sung, , and a masterclass in acoustic guitar playing, every note enhancing the emotion of the music.
(1973)
Twice Removed From Yesterday
Robin Trower's debut album was a very fine effort, lovely heavy bass and blues guitar exquisitely played as we would come to expect from the man.
Marillion, All One Tonight.
The CD has landed, so no need to use Tidal for this one any more. I couldn't wait to rip this before playing.
Prichard Thompson - Celtschmerz, WAV CD rip
RT live in 1998, solo aciustic, joined by his son Teddy for later numbers. Lovely songs, superbly sung, and a masterclass in acoustic guitar playing, every note in the right place to enhance the emotion.
Really enjoying this new offering from The Necks - Body. Their 20th album - nice review here https://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/the-necks-body/
Joe Sample - The Pecan Tree
Cool laid back jazz-funk with gorgeous vocal contributions by the wonderful Lizz Wright.
Nice!
Although I didn't plan this, I've just realised that the next selection has another link with Canada. Daniel Lanois ( born in Canada) and his LP Acadie. Some high profile collaborators on this (Brian Eno, members of U2 and the Neville Brothers).
Came across this going threw the racks and bringing a big smile as haven't played it for years - Playing on Vinyl
(1966)
The Rolling Stones - Big Hits ( High Tide and Green Grass)
A very early best of collection from the Stones nicely re-done here in hybrid SACD.
WOW!
Great sound, big performance.
BP.
2 x LP - Pschent 2015 reissue : )
Van Morrison - Enlightenment. Quite a few forum members have been listening to Van recently, so I thought I'd join them.
Fink - Biscuits For Breakfast.
Whenever I'm a bit "stuck" I always seem to revert to something from Mr. Greenall, and whichever album I'm listening to, instantly
becomes my favourite ................... this album is simply sublime.
Wonder which might be my favourite Fink album tomorrow? 
Tedeschi Trucks - Let Me Get By (2016). Some good grooves on this album. MQA Tidal via Audirvana on Win 10 wired laptop to wired Mu-So. Giving Audirvana a trial, so far, good. It does the first unfold, this one is 24/96.
Tidal. Etta James - Blues to the Bone (Mentioned by Dave Marshall)
Ibiza Beats Chillhouse 2 on cassette tape, Nak BX-1
Cafe Del Mar Volume 4.
