Seth Lakeman: The Well Worn Path.

Playing for the first time, very impressed. He’s turned the clock back 15 years and gone back to plain, unadorned folk in Punch Bowl and Kitty Jay style. Highly recommended to folk lovers.

Listened a bit on Bandcamp - Ordered

Jessica Moss - Entanglement [ https://jessicamoss.bandcamp.com/album/entanglement ]

Jessica Moss has been blossoming as a solo artist since the release of her acclaimed debut album Pools Of Light in spring 2017. The violinist, composer and singer best known for her fifteen-year tenure in political post-punk band Thee Silver Mt. Zion is newly ascendant as a soloist, captivating audiences with gritty, warmly expressive electronic- and drone-inflected post-classical Minimalism (and sometimes Maximalism), accented by a distinctive melodic sensibility that channels Klezmer, Balkan and Middle Eastern tropes. Moss has played 80 shows in the past year, including appearances at Big Ears, WSO New Music, Le Guess Who?, Zemlika and Supersonic, participation in multiple editions of Basilica Hudson’s 24-Hour Drone Fest, and a mix of headlining dates and opening slots for the likes of Zu, BIG|BRAVE (on whose most recent album she also plays), and labelmates Godspeed You! Black Emperor.

George Benson - Livin' Inside Your Love

I am guilty of playing this way too often in the past and, as a consequence, tired of our George and haven't listened to it for ages.

Well I stuck on today and was reminded what a wonderful album this is.

He finishes this set with his wonderful version of Unchained Melody, and that really got to me. Just lovely.

(1993)

Soul Alone

Twenty years on from Hall & Oates Abandoned Luncheonette Daryl Hall released his third solo album to some mixed reviews, I liked it a lot so on it goes for what is a fairly rare outing nowadays.

Playing on Vinyl - A good fix of psychedelia from Love from 1966 - Forever Changes is classic but Da Capo is very good.

Original vinyl released 1969 - Superb debut album, superb band. ????

I have a very old original pressing of this and it has sounded better and better as I improved the LP12 -- absolutely fantastic album. I abused it a bit when I was at University -- so bought a more recent pressing -- which unfortunately was nowhere near as good as my original -- I think its the same pressing as you have Dan but i'll check...
