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:
His start is a bit rush, but the rest of the album delicate playing. His Mozart Sonatas is quite good...
U2 week:
Joshua Tree. Original pressing. As vital, inventive and captivating as it was in 1987. What a graduation album.
Need I say more?
Bert Schurink posted:Exquisite playing...
How funny, Piotr Anderszewski sings while playing (in tracks 2, 3 and 4) 
Reminds me Glen Gould.
I actually like it !
Bixieland - Eddie Condon (Japanese Pressing)
Now Playing...........
Ray LaMontagne - Trouble
Streaming on TIDAL.......... I have been enjoying Ray's 'Till the Sun Turns Black' quite a bit when I am in the car and need to explore more of his music, so this afternoon I went looking and found 'Trouble.' .......Ray is sounding mighty fine, fantastic voice, lyrics and music!
The Church > Heyday
Let’s Dance was the last Bowie album I bought contemporaneously so there is a lot here that passed me by. I’m enjoying the live albums and bonus tracks more than the actual albums but this is as much down to mastering than content.

Muddy Waters - Folk Singer.
Chess Records thought they'd cash in on the folk music boom with this one, except it ain't folk at all, nuthin' but the blues here folks.
Muddy goes acoustic with able assistance from Willie Dixon on bass, Clifton James on drums and a young Buddy Guy on second
guitar.
The recording is absolutely spot on, with lots of room reverb, and a "live" feel to it.
Even better, it's available for peanuts on The River, as part of a two album on 1 CD package which also includes the album
"Muddy Waters sings Big Bill Broonzy" .................. another gem.
Funny that it wasn't even rated as a good blues album by real blues afficianados at the time.
The son of Ralph Bass one of the Producers used to post on here at one time.
Haven't seen anything posted by him for awahile
Having enjoyed Get With It last evening, I closed off the evening with the remixed version of the track He Loved Him Madly from this album which appears in its original form on the other album. I decided to start today by playing this front to back. It's not an album I play that often, but is a very accessible route into Miles' later material. Very enjoyable.
On CD:-
Elvis Costello - Brutal Youth
Gardiner - Bach: Magnificat
I'm trying again to get into this album, At Swim by Lisa Hannigan, but I find it difficult to listen to, owing to what seems to be an over-application of reverb in the mix - it just seems too messy to my ears.
Jimmy Cobb - The original mob
- Bass – John Webber
- Drums – Jimmy Cobb
- Guitar – Peter Bernstein
- Piano – Brad Mehldau
Lou Donaldson - LD+3
Lou Donaldson with the 3 sounds.
- Alto Saxophone – Lou Donaldson
- Bass – Andrew Simpkins
- Drums – Bill Dowdy
- Piano – Gene Harris
Mourn, Over The Wall. A cassette-only EP of otherwise unavailable band songs, plus covers of songs by groups the band loves (Echo & The Bunnymen, Husker Dü, REplacements, The Sound). Great energy and commitment.
Now Playing.......
Israel Nash - Lifted
Streaming on TIDAL.......... placed this in the TIDAL queue after seeing it mentioned the other day, one of those album covers that pulled me in and wanted to hear the music......
Streaming off Youtube - Staying over at some friends and our host's played this album in the evening.Never heard it before but enjoying hearing it a 2nd time.
