I heard 'Camouflage' played on the radio a while back, a song i'd long forgotten and rather liked at the time. Luckily the album has just been re-relased so freshly ripped it's time for a listen.
Woohoohoohoo Camouflage....
Stan Ridgway - The Big Heat
New Order - Power Corruption & Lies. CD rip.
Ispired by KevinW playing this the other day, it reminded me to give it a spin again as I’ve not listened to it for a while. Working late so fits perfectly. Cracking album.
George Cables trio - Dark side, Light side
One of his best, imo.
George Cables - Piano; Jay Anderson - Bass; Billy Hart - Drums
Lizz Wright - The Orchard.......and some bonus tracks!
I love this album and got a very nice surprise listening to it today.
This album has 13 tracks but there is a very long gap between tracks 11 and 12. As I usually let this lovely album wash over me and don't follow track progression, I have always assumed the album finished after track 11.
But today I was reading as track 11 finished and believed the album had finished. What a lovely surprise when two more wonderful tracks played I had never heard before!
It is amazing I have managed to reach the age of 59 with no serious mishaps!
Nice modern jazz trio...

Yep. I've been caught out by that long gap on this album. First time I left the room after track 11, thinking the CD had finished. I was then very perplexed when from elsewhere in the house I could hear music! Took me a while to realise what had happened.
Having ordered another Norah Jones album it prompted me to want to play one. This is very nice.

Jain - Zanaka. CD rip. I’ve played this quite a lot and I’m still finding things to enjoy. It’s a great sounding ripped CD too. Highly reccomended.
Vinyl released 1977 - What a superb debut album. ????
Now Playing........
I'm With Her - See You Around
Aoife O'Donovan, Sarah Jarosz and Sara Watkins
Streaming on TIDAL........... taking this album out for another spin, great voices that harmonize well, a fun listen!
This is such a good album by JJ, one I’ve not played for years. I looked up when it was released, and found it was 1991. 27 years ago, and it seems like only yesterday, yet it’s nearly half my life ago.
Volume 1 - Love Songs from this box set. It is just so intimate.
Playing on Vinyl on JPS records - Fabulous Blues from Chicago's Jimmy Dawkins - An absolute peach of an album

Ex War On Drugs doing his own stuff...
Drive By Truckers - The Dirty South. Some fine Southern rock from the Truckers.
Bugge on a beat, not so my thing..
A Latin version of the Westside Story, interesting enough to give a full listen later...
Now listening to a very nice solo piano album, not Jarrett, but lyrical piano playing...
Released 2006 - Brilliant acoustic blues album.????
