On the eve of a new year, it's time for a new thread.
Last year's thread can be found here:
Ain’t no velvet glove.

Beth Hart & Joe Bonamassa - Black Coffee
Apologies for posting this again so soon but I have just received the CD and ripped it. Yesterday I was listening to it on Tidal and thought it was great but the SQ wasn't right and I felt listening to a ripped CD might solve it.
I was right! This is a stonking effort by Beth and Joe. Every track bold, brassy and right on the money. Listening to this album, it struck me that these two could make a brilliant Bond movie title track. Indeed there are one or two tracks on here that would be great at the beginning and end of the next Bond film!

Good stuff Nigel, I thought it was a belter when I first heard it. Ripped from CD it's better still. Hopefully this Hart & Bonamassa team will be a long term ongoing winner for us all.
Now Playing......
Chris Stapelton - From a Room: Volume 1
Streaming on TIDAL...... Big night for Chris at the Grammy's last evening!
(2014)
Lunatic Soul - On a Flashlight Beam
Mariusz Duda, Riverside's bassist making great solo prog rock / neo metal albums under his Lunatic Soul monica. This one for me is yet to be topped luverly stuff 
Bob Dylan
Blonde On Blonde - CDRip
One of my favourite albums from bob.
Edward
George Thorogood - Party Of One.
George does Blues and Country standards ........ just him, an acoustic guitar and a microphone ............. Marvellous!
CD ordered yesterday on the basis of some recommendations on here and it dropped through my letter box an hour or so ago so first play. Oooooh. I'm liking this 
More blues albums from my collection.
Beth Hart & Joe Bonamassa - Black Coffee.
Lots of love already on the forum for this one ............. not surprising, as it's a cracker.
Beth belts out the vocals and Joe and his band, Anton Fig (drums), Michael Rhodes (bass), Reese Wynans (keyboards), horn players
Lee Thornburg and Ron Dziubla with Paulie Cerra (saxophone), joined by backing singers Mahalia Barnes, Jade Macrae and Juanita
Tippins, simply do what they do, so well.

Not forgetting this one, the first of his albums which I bought, which, inevitably, led to further purchases.
