On the eve of a new year, it's time for a new thread.

With all the talk on this thread about the More Blood More Tracks album, I thought I would dig out the original album I have on vinyl.  To be honest, I haven't listened to this that much - most of my favourite Dylan albums are later period albums such as Time Out of Mind, Love and Theft and Modern Times.  Some of his earlier work I have found more challenging to listen to.  Anyway, I'm giving this another go.

Ok, so seasonally it's the time for the colours of autumn, but this is just such a lovely album to play on this bright, sunny autumn day.

Best enjoyed as the start of a listen to the final 3 albums, it's a great musical journey.

Having seen her performing last night with Julia Fordham and Judie Tzuke, I thought I'd play Beverley Craven's eponymous first album. I haven't played this for many years, but now I recall there's not a bad song on here; in fact they're all gems. BTW in my view although I really went to see Julia, it was Beverley who stole the show last night - she seems so comfortable with the audience. She has a wicked sense of humour too. I wish her well for her current health issues and look forward to seeing her again soon.

First play of this which arrived on Saturday, just tenor sax, bass and drums. Drums on all bar one track played by Elvin Jones, so expecting some sparks from an intimate trio.

Amazingly,  the drummer (Michael Shrieve) was in his teens and the guitarist Neal Schon and keyboardist Gregg Rolie became founding members of the original (four piece) version of Journey.
