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:
Prince - Rave Un2 the Joy Fantastic.
David Bowie. The Buddha of Suburbia.
" He's greatest album after Scary Monsters..."
2007 reissue of 1993 "Lost" album...
Playing on Compact Disc - Great Live Blues from Walter Trout
On CD
Ryan Montbleau Band - One Fine Colour
It was Ewe's mention of one of Ryan's solo albums, For Higher, which I listened to on Tidal, but unfortunately is only available on vinyl (no TT
) or MP3, that had me investigate his work. This is one from his Band and I think it is wonderful.
Ryan is one of those artists who refuses to be pigeon-holed, a nightmare for any record company. He confidently and expertly mixes Country, Blues, Jazz, Folk, Singer/Songwriter and he seems have fun with every track. It sounds like it could be a mess, but it is not. The entire album hangs together well and Ryan seems to be less concerned about sticking to any genre, than we are. He seems to play and sing what the heck he feels like and I just love it.
PS, just picked this one up from the river for a couple of quid. I'm having a good day!

Mantras for Madmen
The marvellous Harry Manx doing some very fine things indeed with the occasional deployment of his wonderful 20-stringed mohan veena, which has become Manx's signature instrument. His official website describes the music as being a "blend of Indian folk melodies with slide guitar blues, add a sprinkle of gospel and some compelling grooves and you'll get Manx's unique "mysticssippi" flavour." Blues, folk and classical Hindustani music (where he lived and trained for years under his master) really is worth a listen if you are unfamiliar with the music.
Cd released 2018 - Great early stuff from Ms Faithfully 8)
First album of the evening. I can't remember when I last played some Lana Del Rey. To be honest, I still not sure whether I'm a fan or not.

Ron Miles - Circuit Rider
Ron Miles (cornet), Bill Frisell (guitar) and Brian Blade (drums).
Streaming on TIDAL........ When Ron Miles took the stage last evening with Bill and Brian he introduced the band as 'Circuit Rider' and I found this album on Tidal this morning. A wonderful performance last evening and enjoying the opening track 'Comma' this morning!
Just playing this now. Great find. Ron Miles is working well with Bill’s guitar. Thanks for the tip :-)
Recentish one from the Mazz Spangler.
Bob Dylan
Blood On The Tracks - 24/96
My favourite Dylan album.
Really looking forward to “More Blood, More Tracks: The Bootleg Series Vol. 14”, especially the Complete “New York sessions”, hope they are as good as I have read on this forum in the past.

IMHO opinion they are as I have been listening to them for years.
Are you getting the 6 disc set as for the first time in the Bootleg series he is only issuing a single cd as the alternative?
(1975)
10cc - How dare You!
This is a lovely old classic pop album which seemed to have so many tracks all over the radio stations at the time. This 1985 Mercury CD is worth seeking out as the later releases are very compressed and mastered for loudness.
An old Alison Krauss album which led me on to my next album.
