Taylor Swift: 1989. CD rip. On advice from my daughter - she was right, this is rather good! Of course not everyone's taste, but I'm surprised at how much I'm enjoying this album.

Richard Hawley - Standing at the Sky's Edge.

Mr Hawley drops a tab ................ and the result is stunning.

Tom Waits: Real Gone. CD rip. Taylor was fun, but I felt the antithesis was needed. Growling Tom lifts the soul somehow.

Duke Garwood - Garden of Ashes.

Following on from Richard Hawley, this is in similar vein, co-produced by Mark Lanegan.

I posted this the other evening, it's available on Tidal, so go listen .......... that's an order .............. 's brilliant!!!!!!

OK Dave, you twisted my arm.  Giving this a run now and I have to say it's rather good !  Great vibe, relaxed bluesy feel, super guitar sound.    Excellent recommendation. Cheers N.

Otis Taylor - Fantasizing About Being Black.

I seem to be into moody, atmospheric music so far today, so here's a good 'un.

Posted on: 07 March 2017 by Jeff Anderson

Greg Brown  -  "Poet Game"  (1994)  probably my favorite GB album that I have heard.

Posted on: 07 March 2017 by Yetizone

The Smiths: Meat is Murder. CD rip. A little joviality for the afternoon! Still a tremendous album.

I do remember listening to his  album "Fuzzy" circa 1993/4 (Jupiter & Teardrop is a great track) but lost interest after that. Somehow the rest of his albums and lyrics did not grip my attention although he still has a great voice.
