On the eve of a new year, it's time for a new thread.
Last year's thread can be found here:
My first blues album of today.
The Dead on fire in '74. On four CDs, five hours' worth of music!
Now Playing........

Dick Hyman - Plays Duke Ellington
Allmusic.com:
Performed (as was Dick Hyman's previous Fats Waller project) on a Bosendorfer Reproducing Piano and actually recorded from the piano at a later date (one really cannot tell the difference), this outing finds the great Hyman interpreting 14 of Duke Ellington's compositions. Most intriguing are Ellington'snearly atonal "The Clothed Woman" and "Tonk" in which Hyman somehow duplicates an Ellington-Billy Strayhorn piano duet! Other highlights include the joyous "Drop Me Off In Harlem," "Doin' the Voom Voom," "Echoes of Harlem" and "The Gal from Joe's." The recording is as rewarding as one would expect.
Brandy Clark - Big Day In A Small Town
This recording is not a star but the 272/XPSDR Tablette 10 is doing a great job of throwing it out in all its scuzzy detail. Best I’ve heard it!

Was listening to it yesterday and I still have the silly Flexi disc NME was giving away at the time. Super album.
(1989)
Stevie Ray Vaughan & Double Trouble - In Step
Diana Krall, When I look In Your Eye's lovely relaxing music whilst enjoying a cup of tea.
(1991)
Stevie Ray Vaughan & Double Trouble - The Sky Is Crying
One SRV album wasn't quite enough so on with this one which sadly is just a very good collection of outtakes from Stevie Ray Vaughan's previous album sessions, it was released a year after his tragic death in that fateful helicopter crash in 1990.
Thanks to seakayaker for posting the album I found this EP of the Acoustic Session.
1982 vinyl. Why not?
More blues
Mine has a different cover.
