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:
London Grammar - If You Wait
Why? Well to be honest is was on 'L' on the artist listing on my iPad when listening to Lizz Wright above and then saw these guys and gal. Considering their tender years judging by the album photo, this is a sophisticated and atmospheric piece of work. Next time I visit 'L' on my iPad I think it will be to listen to this again.

Foy Vance - Hope
His fine debut album that opens with an absolute belter.

Steve, this is a favourite of mine. The track that always gets me is 'First of July', but they are all belters IMHO.

I can't disagree Nigel a really fine album, I made the 'belter' comment about the first track 'Be With Me" because I had momentarily forgotten just what a powerful piece it is, once again it smacked me right between the eyes, great stuff.
Final LP (Ten Extras) from the Cheap Xmas vinyl box:
1974 - Vinyl - US pressing...
Boz Scaggs - A Fool To Care
Why? Well sometimes only a bit of Boz will do, but ably assisted on this one though.
(2006)
The Black Angels - Passover
Because I'm in the mood for some dark psychedelic rock themed around the Vietnam war, this was their debut album with heavy nods towards the likes of Velvet Underground. I should add that when he chooses to do so, their frontman does a fine job of sounding like Jim Morrison.
"If Jim Morrison had ever gotten depressed and started a psychedelic hard-rock/blues band, then the result might sound something like Black Angels." - An anonymous Amazonian
(1967)
The doors - Strange Days
Gene Harris - The Maybeck Hall Recital Series Volume Twenty Three
Why? Because the man can tinkle those ivories, and then some.
Original double vinyl
Why? It's Friday and Mrs Plane is out.

Vassilis Tsabropoulos’s ECM debut from 2000. Very good indeed.
New purchase and arrived today. A NigelB recommendation, thanks Nigel, and I see he played it only a few hours ago.
Don Williams, I've seen Don Williams at a concert just made it look so easy, sounded outstanding.
Alison Krauss and Union Station, Bluegrass at It's very best
Now Playing.......
Antonio Forcione & Sabina Sciubba - Meet Me in London
Streaming on TIDAL....... A perfect album to start this Friday afternoon, great acoustic guitar with a great voice.......
LP - EMI 2014 reissue : )
My first ever listen to a George Harrison album and i'm dipping into the 12 album box set setting off in chronological order.
I know this debut album is really a worldly and mind expanding motion picture soundtrack, but for 1967 George was two decades ahead of his time for knowing what an SBL wall would look like : )
Debs

I should have added, what a lovely surprise at track 11: a cover of Led Zep's Thank You, and beautifully done.
