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:
In a similar vein to Low, this is Beach House with their album Bloom. Only a second listen and it reminds me a little bit of the Cocteau Twins.
Released 2002 - Eitzel's take on other people's songs. Great stuff ????

Posted this not too long ago. Hiss Golden Messenger - Lateness of Dancers. I've been listening to this a lot recently and it just gets better with every play. A slightly strange name for a band, but it seems to be the trend these days. The main man behind the band is MC Taylor and I will be buying more of his CDs. If you like Americana, folk, blues, country rock, then I think this will be your cup of tea.
Being a lazy so and so today and just re-posting stuff I like. This is rather good and I'll say no more because Chunky has said it all.
Bill Cunliffe trio - Live at Bernie's
- Bass – Darek Oleszkiewicz
- Drums – Joe La Barbara
- Piano – Bill Cunliffe

Released 2011 - Omaha alt country/ Americana duos debut album. Singing rambling hard-luck tales to foot-stomping bar ballads to delicate love songs, the songwriting recalls the moodiness of Nick Cave and humor of Townes Van Zandt, never getting too heavy. Fine album. ????
Still in lazy git mode and re-posting. Played this via Tidal just now and I just had to listen to the entire album. It is brilliant!
Although different in style and tone, this chap's vocals reminds me of Sean Rowe, and that is a very good thing. The song construction is wonderful, some of which is a little tongue-in-cheek, which I love. Dan has covered the rest rather nicely.

Agree 'One Mans's Ceiling Is Another Man's Floor' is outstanding..
Fancied something smooth to finish the afternoon
I enjoyed Mike Lindsey's performance with Laura Marling in both LUMP gigs I saw. I'll get this on my next visit to a record store.
Tunng - Songs You Make At Night [ https://tunng.bandcamp.com/ ]
(2016)
Not Santana's finest hour (and a quarter) and after a year or so I've dragged this out for another play and it's better than I had previously thought...

I have an Analogue Productions vinyl reissue of this LP which is just so good.
One of those records that were according to history thrown together at the last minute but that ended up becoming something very special. Art has a soulfulness and a swing to his playing that is all to often missing from Jazz of that period he concentrated more on the song than on his own individual playing a great, great player.
Lynyrd Skynyrd - One More From the Road - early ‘80s U.K. vinyl.
One of the greatest live rock albums, Southern Rock at its finest. The two lead Gibsons of Rossington and Collins, with Steve Gaines as a 3rd lead gittar, giving immense energy, the brilliant Billy Powell on keyboards, a top-notch rhythm duo in Pyle and Wilkinson. Fronted by the charismatic Ronnie van Zant, it’s a phenomenal lineup. Add a set of songs for the ages, two well chosen covers plus their own masterpieces Tuesday’s Gone, Sweet Home Alabama, Gimme Three Steps, and a magisterial Freebird, it’s a double album which is keeping me warm on a wet and windy evening in West Yorkshire, along with a lovely claret.

Prodigy - Their Law
Doing pretty much what it says on the tin, I know probably I'm too old to still be enjoying this but I do like to get their rock n' rave n' dance stuff out for a ride now and again.

Firestarter is an absolute classic of it's time and genre and is fantastically suited to a well set up Naim system.
Pink Floyd
The Division Bell - 24/96
Just got home after another stay in hospital, relaxing with this great album.

The Prodigy. Experience.
going further back, this will test your systems melon twisting abilities.
An excellent new release, his first as leader of a standard quartet for absolutely ages. It’s very melodic and accessible.

That’s probably my favourite jazz album. Just wonderful.
