On the eve of a new year, it's time for a new thread.
Last year's thread can be found here:
Arve Henriksen Chiaroscuro, one of his earlier albums streaming on tidal, magic stuff as always
The Beatles, just working my way through the 3 outtakes discs.Must say I'm very pleased 
Lee Morgan - The Sidewinder
Bert Schurink posted:Started the kind of odd listening morning with Opeth. Had pre-ordered the Opeth album, but Qobuz had again a problem with the album, so I had to exchange it for another. Now I wanted to check if I really really want it, as the growling is a challenge, but as always the growling is compensated with such masterful music, that I belief I am forced to get it...
How much growling there actually is left nowadays?

In the last two albums nothing anymore, they have turned to decent progressive rock, it’s with numbers from the earlier albums that you hear the growling...
A great live album. With also nice acoustic pieces and ending with the blues...
Another one of Santana
I usually find this to be the perfect late night chill out album but it's hitting the spot nicely on this dull wet afternoon.

Talented gal.

Bob Marley & The Wailers - Natty Dread.
Trying to inject a bit of sunshine into what is a gloomy, overcast and freezing cold North Yorks. afternoon.
Bob's hugely underrated third album, it's taken a while for this album to retrospectively receive the plaudits it so richly deserves.
It's on Tidal, so go on, "Lively Up Yourself" !
