What are you listening to and WHY might anyone be interested? (Vol. XIV)

Nice album...

Like last dance with Leith Jarrett, great album with two giants on the instrument, not needing to show off...

 192/24 flac.

Bert,

I hate the first track, reminding me of root-canal treatment at the dentist. Is it only me wishing at times (I like his Bach album)  that he would change his name to Bad Mehldau?

Space Oddity F.M. Broadcast 1983

David Bowie & Stevie Ray Vaughan

This is a fine sounding but dodgy bootleg with, what for me was an unlikely combo but works quite well in parts.

From the big 6-LP 50th anniversary box (below) on double vinyl...

Listened to both of these earlier today.  First up, Andrew Combs - Canyons of My Mind.  In the singer-songwriter mould with a hint of country.  Second, Gregg Allman - Southern Blood.  Both very good albums.

Now listening to some power pop from The New Pornographers with their last album, Whiteout Conditions.

After today's political turbulence in Westminster it seemed rather apt to play this. One for TM, perhaps. 

Bought a couple of weeks ago - Blue Note Signature Series reissue  cut from the original master tapes on Classic Records ALL TUBE MONO cutting system by Bernie Grundman. Pressed  200 gram Quiex Super Vinyl and sounding superb.

Amazing piano playing by Wynton Kelly just beautiful I'm not sure if you can stream this but if you can and you like a bit of laid back and very cool early 60's Blue Note then give yourself a treat.

1976 - Vinyl - US first pressing...

Playing on Vinyl on Frontline Records - A timeless Reggae Compilation of Virgin Records Reggae Artists

I've had this LP since I was 14 years old and it was almost 10 years old then. 

Declaration of Rights by Johnny Clarke is one of the best Roots vocals ever recorded.

David Corley - Available Light.  This was a debut album release from David at the age of 53!  I have had it for many months, but this is only the second time I've listened to it and it's really rather good.  He has a gruff voice somewhere between Tom Waits and Lou Reed.

A puff on that thing would make you forget about Brexit!  Another record from my adolescence.

(2013)

Back to Land

Some smokin' retro style Bay Area psychedelic rock by the Wooden Shjips.

Paul Simon - Hearts and Bones. Wonder what this would have sounded like if the proposed collaboration with Garfunkel had been realised ?

I see what you mean, the first song indeed doesn’t resemble the quality of the rest of the album.....

A bit of mellow alt- country with the Delines album, Colfax.  Willy Vlautin is a member of this band and I have a CD from his other band, Richmond Fontaine, I need to listen to.  Willy is apparently a highly rated author as well, but I haven't read any of his books.  I must get round to trying one of his books.

I had a large number of them as well. Used to get them from the Manager of a Virgin Record Store.
