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

Bruce Springsteen. The Rising. On CD from 2002. Been a while since I played this. Glad I did. An uplifting album with music and lyrics from the heart.

Paul McCartney : All the Best Original vinyl

'Certified wobbly' by a postgrad friend of mine at point of issue, this album retains a tie beyond the usual 'best of' in the same way that Queen's Greatest Hits has a certain synergy beyond the sum of its parts.

And sounding sensational without Torlyte...

I’ve found, over the years, that ‘best of’ albums of bands I really like cease to hit the spot. I end up having to buy most, if not all, of their back catalogues to hear the tracks in their original context.

Pink Floyd. Music From The Film More (1969). Quirky as the soundtrack may be there's lots of freedom, flow and artistic energy in the music. Creative and unrestrained. Always an involving listen for me.

Vinyl released 1968 - Brilliant album. ????

Banjo, Guitar – John Hartford
Bass – Roy M. Huskey
Bass, Mandolin – Chris Hillman
Drums – Jon Corneal, Kevin Kelley
Guitar – Clarence J. White, Gram Parsons
Guitar, Banjo – Roger McGuinn
Piano – Earl P. Ball
Steel Guitar – Jaydee Maness, Lloyd Green

Ludovico Einaudi - Divinire

The recommendation of an old girlfriend. Good at this time of day. The music I mean.

Dan,

It's a fabulous album and it's strange that The Byrds where getting seriously psychedelic with Fifth Dimension then make the transisition to  country rock and pull it off with ease.I once saw Roger Mc Guinn solo up stairs at a small pub in Brighton and he started his set with Your Not Going Nowhere.It was one of those Musical Live magic moments as I was right down the front in of Roger and it was so intimate.

Wishing you a fine day

Cheers Ian

Stunning debut from a hugely talented composer and performer. On vinyl. Saw her and her band last night, they blew me away.

On CD:-

Father John Misty - God's Favorite Customer

On CD:-

Kurt Vile - Bottle It In

Double vinyl released 2017 - Fine album. ????

Donald Byrd - Slow Drag

The pace and bluesy feeling of the title track reminds me very much of Horace Silver's Song for my Father. 

Till The Sun Turns Black (2006). I've seen this mentioned here a few times. I've never really listened to Ray Lamontagne, my loss. I'm quite impressed with this album, check it out. The first song, Be Here Now, nice piano and atmosphere.

Great album, the ghost of Lou Reed is all around this one.

Art Pepper - One september afternoon

A lesser known album by Art Pepper. But imo it is a good one, he is in fine form.

• Alto Saxophone – Art Pepper
• Bass – Cecil McBee
• Drums – Carl Burnett
• Guitar – Howard Roberts (tracks: A1, B3)
• Piano – Stanley Cowell (tracks: A1, A2, A3, B1, B2)

Deep city blues payin the dues...

As it is Thanksgiving (and a happy one to all on here) a bit of Lana Del Rey is called for

Bog standard mid-80s vinyl pressing. Still sounds great though. And the music is fab too.

Keith Urban - Days Go By

Upbeat and cheery as the light fades on a cold afternoon. A taste of the 'Anti-Podes' as the late Sir Terry would have said.
