On the eve of a new year, it's time for a new thread.
Last year's thread can be found here:
On Vinyl
Eric Clapton - I still do

I loved that album. It was my first Hendrix album and I played it on my Dansette constantly. Purple Haze seemed magical at the time.
Kicking off this evening's listening with a bit of Bowie. This Japanese CD is definitely a step up on the ordinary one I had. Not so 'hard' and that smoother presentation makes it more musical.
Have got her vox on so many remix and collaboration projects. Thought I should check out her own releases. From 2006.
A rare voice and unique delivery, although much imitated.

Lee Morgan a true genius!
Did you see the documentary ''I called him Morgan" ?
It is a must see;

Madman
The fine Baritone voice of Sean Rowe getting to grips with some great tracks, there's nothing not to like here.
The sound of Madman is influenced, in large part, by the hypnotic driving guitars of Delta blues. “I was listening to records by R.L. Burnside and John Lee Hooker and others which are basically just guitar and drums and really raw sounding,” ROWE explains. “I was also listening to the early soul records like Otis Redding and Ray Charles. I didn’t want to try and duplicate those sounds, just take aspects of them and make them my own.”

Wayne Shorter - Ju Ju
Wayne Shorter (tenor saxophone), McCoy Tyner (piano), Reggie Workman (bass) and Elvin Jones (drums).
Streaming on NAS.......... a recent pick up and taking out for a spin for the first time this morning........
That is a really fine record. It's interesting to compare with Coltrane from the early 60s as this is Coltrane's band.
Playing on Vinyl - Brotherly Blues from King King's Alan Nimmo and Brother Stevie - Seeing them tonight in Shoream expecting a good night and a few pints 
Dexter Gordon - Doin' Allright
More fine bop, this time from 1961. Some fine playing from Freddie Hubbard (t) and Horace Parlan (p) too, with George Tucker (b) and Al Harewood (d). Another superb recording.
1966 - UK first mono pressing...
Susumu Yokota. Love Or Die.
I haven't played this for a while. Cream seemed a very cool band at the time.
1968 -UK first mono pressing...
Blood Sweat & Tears - Child Is The Father To The Man
Not sure if it was Cato or Hunstein (the guy who took that Bob Dylan’s Freewhelin’ album art cover photo) but a bit lazy on the creative side using The Byrds’s same black background for their album art cover.
(1994)
Seal (II)
A wonderful voice, a superb record and a great album cover, just a few reasons to listen to one of Seal's finest releases.
Blimey, what a difference. It’s like a new album. Brilliant.
Absolutely stunning on CD:-
More Dex, more post-bop. Again great sound.
A fine album from Nils Frahm, with stunning sound quality.
Recorded August 2011 in Lugano. No pedals necessary!!!
Vinyl released 1966 - Immaculate folk-rock album. ????
Such a good 'live' album, the atmosphere and raw energy is simply sensational.
What with all the Brexit excitement this evening I thought some soothing balm from Ms Dillon would help.
Capercaillie
Choice Language - CD Rip

(1966)
Big Hits (High Tide And Green Grass)
A very early best of compilation of 'Stones hits. This and the UK variant are both very fine albums, when you look at these hits up to '66 it encapsulates the music flavour of the 60's for those of us lucky and old enough to have experienced the revolution.
Tracklist
The sisters are in very fine voice
