2017 has arrived today, so time to start this thread afresh.
Last year's thread can be found here;
Baby sitting my 8 year old God Daughter.
I like everthing by America. Well crafted, well written, well played, well recorded...well good!

All that money spent on Hi-Fi etc... A guilty pleasure album 
Michael Bolton - Soul Provider
Ali Farka Toure & Toumani Diabate - Ali and Toumani.
Some mellow, yet mesmerising music from the Malian masters.
Melody Gardot - Worrisome Heart
Why? Just ripped this and a quick listen to check SQ of rip vs Tidal. Yeah, as if you can just have a quick listen to Ms Gardot! 
Two great album
Vinyl
Why? I am not a great Genesis fan (certainly not of anything that came after this particular platter) but SEBYP is one of my all time favourite albums for some reason.

Normality resumed. The superb John Wardle...
Jah Wobble's Invaders Of The Heart - Take Me To God
Joe Henry - Invisible Hour
Because it is rather good.

Just played this one from the Ozrics cranked up to just this side of sociable. I'm one of those fans of theirs who is totally happy with their slight changes of styles and emphasis over the decades so this fairly recent album sits really well with me.
This is an album that I scarcely play, since the remastered tracks on the second disc sound too bright compared to all the original versions. However, the first disc contains some rare gems which I realise now I should not have overlooked. Actually they may be from some of his later albums, which have strayed too far from what I've liked about him, but on hearing them again...well, my ears are now more open. Rather good.
I'm currently really enjoying 'Life Begin Again' - superb!
King Creosote - "Astronaut Meets Appleman" (2016)
Van Morrison - Too Long in Exile
I know I posted this recently, but If you like VM I promise you will love this.
Belter written all over it.
Interesting album...
Have always liked the Black Crowes, but I've never had much by them, so thought that I'd try this as it was only £3.99 at HMV. Listened to it in the car on the way home, and it's brilliant so far.

As so often happens when I start playing the Ozrics I'm in need of another, this was the album that preceded Paper Monkeys.
Eric Bibb - Live a Fip.
The ever excellent Mr. Bibb, this one recorded in front of a live audience for a French Radio station broadcast.
Disc 2 is simply stunning.
Blind Pilot - "And Then Like Lions" (2016)
Great Blues Masters Vol 2: Lightnin' Hopkins: Substance Japan CD rip. Nice career spanning track selection.

...a fabulous album.
An old favourite of mine which never, ever disappoints.

Max,
I will go with you, pre-historic recording on a very fine sounding Denon label:
I'll look for it now, both for her and for Mozart. Thanks for the hint.
