What are you listening to and WHY might anyone be interested? (Vol. XIII)
Posted by: Richard Dane on 01 January 2017
2017 has arrived today, so time to start this thread afresh.
Last year's thread can be found here;
Frank Sinatra/ Billy May Orch. - Come Fly With. Capitol mono vinyl rip. Valentine's!
1st run...
Last one of the evening...
The Best of Etta James - CD rip. Old time R&B love, hope and broken heart songs.
Saw this chap on Sunday Brunch sing live and he's got a damned good voice. Thought the title track was better live, and with more emotion, than on album tbh.
Diana Krall - Love Scenes. SACD
Going through some of my older stuff, been a while since I last listened to this......CD rip, A+
Arrived today, recorded 30 years ago in the Netherlands:

On CD:-
John Martyn - The Tumbler
Chicago Transit Authority - Double Vinyl
Yetizone posted:The Waterboys: Room To Roam. This is a truly superb album, one of my favs in fact and never fails to be uplifting. Highly recommended.
Great album, love the Waterboys.....but still can't beat This Is The Sea imho....Glorious stuff!
Diana Krall - All For You. (A Dedication to the Nat King Cole Trio -a good one). CD rip.
Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers. Echo. On CD from 1999. I've got most all Petty's studio albums and despite giving this one several repeated listens have to conclude it's his weakest effort in an otherwise stellar discography. Maybe that's why they're hiding behind the bushes on the cover?
A + | WAV
(1992)
"Ludovico (or Luduvico, as this cd name suggests), was a famous Italian-born Spanish harp player from the early sixteenth century. In 1555 Juan Bermudo wrote a treatise on several instruments, in which he described the playing technique of Ludovico. So famous was he that Alonso Mudarra compmosed a piece which aimed at imitating Ludovico's harp playing: Fantasia que contrahaze la harpa en la maniera de Luduvico.
This cd combines Italian and Spanish influences and Renaissance ingenuity with the simple baroque harp instrument (Andrew Lawrence-King plays two different baroque harps here). The use of the instrument in Renaissance and Baroque music is somehow fitting."
