  William Bell - This Is Where I Live.

  I do seem to keep posting this long time forum favourite, but then, why not?

  It's a great album throughout, and his version of "Born Under A Bad Sign" is probably the best ever, Albert King notwithstanding,

  but then, William did write this classic song.

  Mind you, this acoustic rendering of the same song is rather good, and is a great introduction to the man's music, if you've never  

  listened to him before.

  Great stuff, IMHO.

This is a lovely album, brilliantly sung and played, and a fantastic lively recording from Linn. It’s great fun too, and most definitely not a Krallesque smoothathon.

Listening to “the list” by Roseanne Cash. Very nicely recorded, and she has a great voice. The list was of 100 great American songs given to her by father Johnny Cash...worried at the music she listened to as a young girl on the radio. She kept the list, and started to record some after he died,and then her mother.

Meadow - Blissful Ignorance

Cool jazz from a trio, not only for John Taylor fans. Great at this time of day. Great at any time of day.

  Sade - Soldier Of Love.

  More smooth goodness from Sade ............ it seems that the more I listen to her velvet tones, the more I just find myself playing 

  another of her albums.

  Resistance is useless!
