Some relaxing and mellow sounds from Richard Hawley with his album Hollow Meadows. I've had this a while, but not got round to playing it much, so I am rectifying that now. Sounding very good.
Thanks for the reminder of this. I played it via Tidal a while ago and probably wasn't in the right mood. Am playing now via Tidal and have just snapped up the CD from the river for very few squids.
This is a classy and absorbing album. Nice one.
Yes, it didn't grab me on a first listen, but I really enjoyed it tonight.

This is a great album, quite different from a lot of his other work...

Simply stunning vocals, with a moody and atmospheric orchestral backing.

Now playing.......................

Alison Krauss - A Hundred Miles or More: A Collection

Streaming on NAS.......... arrived earlier today, ripped to NAS and taking it out for a spin. I have have listened to this album via Tidal a couple of times and picked it up used for a great price on the river. Alison vocals are outstanding and offers sixteen songs, five of them new with the others representing previous collaborations or releases without the Union Station. An album worth the time to set aside and give this album a listen! Simply sweet & fantastic!

The Doobie Brothers. What Were Once Vices Are Now Habits. On original vinyl from 1974. Cozy, tubey sonics. Comfortably groovy American blue-eyed soul. Like a slice of warm apple pie for the ears.

Beck. Colors. On red vinyl from 2017. You're never quite sure what you're going to get from Beck, except that it's going to be good music full of funk and rhythm. I like this album a lot and the sound plays BIG in my room.
