On the eve of a new year, it's time for a new thread.
Last year's thread can be found here:
Tidal...
John Mayall Blues Breakers with Eric Clapton. prompted by Tony above, in mono 
The type of album which requires more plays...
A great album...
Ive Mendes - Magnetism
A friend played me this album at the weekend. I'd never heard of Scott Matthews before. This is nice, albeit somewhat melancholy in style.
Now Playing.......
Lyle Lovett - Natural Forces......... continuing on with another album from Lyle this afternoon, and he is sounding mighty fine!
Tidal...

Lyle Lovett - Step Inside This House
Streaming on NAS........ A two CD album, just full of Lyle goodness, wonderful singer, musician, and wonderful performer! A great album singing many of the texas songwriters songs, just love it!

Inspired by posts from Ewemon and Seakayaker earlier today, I'm giving one of my favourite Lyle Lovett albums a spin - Joshua Judges Ruth.
Certainly 'Joshua Judges Ruth' right there at the top of my favorite Lyle Lovett albums. One fantastic album!
Starting the day streaming some of his early back-catalogue, this great self-titled album, AKA Hallelujah I Love Her So

I am confused, the cover says Florestan and you say it’s played by the Eggner Trio....
Hoff Ensemble Quiet winter nights
Nice relaxing jazz.
Mathias Eick, trumpet
Børge Petersen-Øverleir, guitar
Annbjørg Lien, nyckelharpa and hardanger fiddle
Jan Gunnar Hoff, piano
Arild Andersen, double bass
Rune Arnesen, percussion
Another artist whose back-catalogue I'm enjoying exploring, via recommendations from allmusic.com, a nice site to explore reviews and to fish out the better albums to try out.
Paul Simon. Eponymous solo debut (1972) on re-issued vinyl from 2014. A brilliant album, I hold it second in Simon's discography only to Graceland, which I consider a landmark album.
Crosby, Stills & Nash. On original vinyl from 1977 (with the boys looking serious). Inspired from the 'vinyl reissues' thread.
Silverchair. Frogstomp. On original CD from 1995. These precocious Aussies were 15-years-old when they recorded this brilliant grunge album. Quite amazing. I can't help but be reminded of the current American rock band Greta Van Street for their similar youth and potential.
Playing on Compact Disc on Naxos - Really nice Bach guitar
Playing on Cassette on TDK AR C60 - Fabulous 2nd album Aventine from Denmark's finest Agnes Obel - A masterpiece of atmosphere and haunting lyrics.I saw her on that tour but unfortunatley had'nt heard any of her music as some friends had a spare ticket .I enjoyed the concert but it's hard when you don't know the songs.Here is a picture from that concert she played in a church in Brighton in 2014
Rick Wakeman - Piano Portraits.
