What are you listening to and WHY might anyone be interested? (Vol. XIV)
Posted by: Richard Dane on 31 December 2017
On the eve of a new year, it's time for a new thread.
Last year's thread can be found here:
Earlier this evening, John Coltrane Live at Birdland. There is some really fine playing here; maybe the best of Trane’s albums in my collection.
Everything But the Girl > Walking Wounded
Rival Consoles - Persona
CD Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young - Déjà Vu
Out 26th Oct
The latest Stephen Simmons
Julia Holter - Aviary
He has been around on the Texas music scene for a lot of years and has just released his first solo album at the age of 71.
Ben Harper - Fight For Your Mind.
Ben's second album from '95 has some great guitar work and emotional vocals, and is the one I keep coming back to.
He deserves much more recognition here in UK, IMHO.
This has been playing on rotation most of the day! Well, it has been raining! Which I have a feeling means that I think that this has a quintessential English feeling to it.

Okay, I'm listening to this for pleasure ....but I'm amazed hardly anyone else seems to get it. Maybe some of the Music Room's big time influencers will pick it up. (I have no vested interest).
......looked for the group 'Meadow' on TIDAL and found no listings.........
just ripped after delivery from Amazon this morning -- didn't have time to do it justice tonight -- but good collection -- looking fed to more play over the next few days:

I don't remember anyone reporting back having listened to the Naim Records or the Naim CD#1 boxed set. Why is no one listening? Is CD just in pre-order stage? Hard to tell by the web page. I assume the vinyl has been out.

Good rockin blues, Tinsley Ellis - Winning Hand (2018).
Apologies for image size - as a bootleg there wern't many image choices out there:
Emmylou Harris. Quarter Moon In A Ten Cent Town (1978). On MFSL vinyl from 1979. Emmylou's vocals and Albert Lee's pickings are a pleasurable combination.
Neil Young & Crazy Horse. Rust Never Sleeps. On original vinyl from 1979. I think this was the first NY album I bought and maybe for that reason remains my favorite. Live recordings with overdubs, it nonetheless has consistently vibrant tonality and excellent SQ throughout.
On CD:-
Fairground Attraction - The First of a Million Kisses
Angela Hewitt - Plays Handel & Hadyn
