No Secrets

Carly Simon - No Secrets.

Looking at this cover and looking at her hand, I'm wondering whether she was practicing holding that shape for a particularly difficult chord sequence playing the guitar.  

I wasn't looking at her hands......

......Still trying to remember if I have this on vinyl somewhere.

Oh behave now.

So Sonne and Mutter were deservedly huge tracks (or my favourites anyway), but quite some time ago when I had Sky TV I absolutely loved Rammstein's videos on MTV, and this really was a case of video prompting album purchases.

Oh, and the sublime, beautiful, eternally haunting Ohne Dich from Rosenrot:

Bill Evans - Conversations with Myself. Controversial among jazz circles upon its release in 1963 for use of overdubbed piano.

I much prefer Bill Evans in his preferred format of piano trio.

I've been looking forward to getting this new release for a while.  Amy Helm - This Too Shall Light.  Produced by Joe Henry, with songs mainly written by other people, such as Robbie Robertson, Allen Toussaint, Rod Stewart, T- Bone Burnett and Hiss Golden Messenger's MC Taylor.  Sounding good on a first listen.

This is a wonderful album, beautifully played and a great recording too. Perfect for a lovely sunny autumn morning.
