The Cowboy Junkies - The Caution Horses
Streaming on NAS......... A recent pickup and taking out for a spin and as usual the 'The Cowboy Junkies' are sounding wonderful! Enjoying this one quite a bit......
Brilliant album..I understand there 2018album is also very good but as yet not had chance to listen.
Graham
Prince - Batman, haven't played this in a while
Playing on Double Compact Disc - A good John Lee Hooker compilation
Following the Blues/Rock theme.
Surprised they aren't posted more on here. Try this for size as they say I think all the blues rock fans will enjoy it.

Tidalising this right now, .............................. just another great shout, 'mon. 
Playing on Compact Disc - My only Foriegner album but always love hearing it - Juke Box Hero is superb just love the story of the song
Now playing...............
Cassandra Wilson - Belly of the Sun
Cassandra Wilson (vocals), Marvin Sewell (guitar), Kevin Breit (guitar), Mark Peterson (bass), Xavyon Jamison (drums), Cyro Baptista (percussion, Jeffrey Haynes (percussion), Guests: Olu Dara (trumpet on Road So Clear), Rhonda Richmond (piano on Road So Clear), Jesse Robinson (guitar on Show Me a Love), Boogaloo Ames (piano on Darkness on the Delta & "Rock Me Baby), Jewell Bass (vocals on Only a Dream in Rio), Vasti Jackson vocals on Only a Dream in Rio), Patrice Moncell (vocals on Only a Dream in Rio), Henry Rhodes (vocals on Only a Dream in Rio), India Arie (vocal on Just Another Parade) and Children's choir from M.S. 44 in New York (vocals on Waters of March).
Streaming on NAS - A recent purchase and taking Cassandra's 'Belly of the Sun' a 2002 release from Blue Note Records. As always she is sounding mighty fine and helping to open the eyes on the cool and overcast Friday morning!
Playing on Compact Disc - Really lovely Jethro Tull from 1977

The Rolling Stones - Blue & Lonesome.
Just some old geezers playing R 'n' B, and sounding pretty damn good.
Word is, there may be another "back to basics" album in the pipeline ................ hope so.
This year's limited edition Record Store Day version of Piper in mono. Very nice packaging and pretty decent SQ (a slightly 'modern' presentation, different from the UK 1967 monos I've heard, but they go for very silly money) - certainly much better than the abomination that was the 1997 '30th anniversary' vinyl version, which was quite onbviously sourced from an inferior digital file.

Jagger released a few sneak peeks of him recording some demo material in a living room with recording equipment......so maybe right.
Now playing..............
Cassandra Wilson - Thunderbird
Cassandra Wilson (vocals, acoustic guitar), Jay Bellerose (drums), Keefus Ciancia (bass guitar, keyboards, piano), Keith Ciancia (bass, electric bass, piano, strings, synthesizer strings), Mike Elizondo (acoustic & electric bass, upright bass, strings, synthesizer strings), Keb' Mo' (guitar), Jim Keltner (drums), Colin Linden (guitar, harmonica), Grégoire Maret (harmonica), Bill Maxwell (drums), Mike Piersante (percussion) Mark Ribot (guitar, electric guitar) and Reginald Veal (bass guitar, upright bass).
Streaming on NAS............ a recent purchase and taking this 2006 release out for a spin. Thunderbird opens with a funkier beat and sounding quite interesting........
Peter Bernstein - Signs Live
Playing on Cassette on Maxell ULS - C60 - What better way to get the working week over and some weekend leisure time than some Classic ZZ Top From 1976

On vinyl. Why? Because they wuz robbed at the Mercury Prize last night by indie blandsters Wolf Alice:
Wilko Johnson / Roger Daltrey - Going Back Home.
Following "Blue & Lonesome" ^^^^^ just another couple of old geezers showing the youngsters the way home with this album.
I still remember hearing the title track for the first time on the car radio and thinking "I'll be buying that, for sure".
Erm, rather LOUD! 
Yello - Pocket Universe. CD rip. Always good to hear a little from Deiter & Boris - and its perfect Friday music! Much as I like the last album (Toy) i've played it a lot so it has become a little familiar, so i'm now raiding the back catalogue again. I'm hoping that they are working on something new.

Stonking album, and I bet it sounds good on the new 555 toy!

Not 'arf! 
Original 1984 vinyl, randomly picked from the shelves. Rather a 'thin' recording - perhaps that was the thing at the time. Good guitarist though.
Now playing........
Amy Helm - This To Shall Light
Streaming on TIDAL......... a new release from Amy Helm and she is sounding mighty sweet, wonderful vocals, music and lyrics through the first couple of tracks!
