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;
Keith Richards - Crosseyed Heart.
Just watched the Netflix documentary on Keef, so, this one, by way of weaning myself off the endless playing of The Stones in Mono boxset.
What a delightful short CD .. just 6 tracks and a little over 30 minutes. Caitlin Candy has a haunting voice .. very beguiling yet head nodding accompaniment ..
1971 - U.K. First pressing...
CD RIP to NS01 and streamed through NDS. Sounding rather good. Bought this to get the BBC in concert tracks.
Buddy Guy - Rhythm & Blues.
Following Keef with one of his heroes, still doing it at 80, rock on Buddy.
I love London Wainwright's stuff. I've got neatly all of his albums and this one is very fine.
ryan adams - easy tiger. (2007) CD rip.
All the albums played in the last couple of days.
HH, you are all over my wavelength tonight!
Richard Thompson's Acoustic album is a constant source of amazement and entertainment for me and Loudon Wainwright has been in my top 10 most played for 20+ years.
Chaim Tannenbaum , as you doubtless know, was a sideman on Loudon's albums for decades.
lisrening to one of my fave Loudon Albums earlier tonight, Little Ship.
Not one of the classics but full of great lyrics and brilliant drumming, Flac via Audirvana/Hugo
Vintage Floyd bootleg of their June 1975 concert at The Boston Gardens. A matrix audience recording in impressive sound quality of early "Animals" material together with Shine On You Crazy Diamond, DSOTM and Echoes.
Georgius, String Theory.
I cannot stop playing this Album, certainly getting my money's worth from Tidal.
Recorded in 1960 at Van Gelder Studio.
Often overlooked, perhaps because he wasn't a great innovator in jazz but merely a stellar performer, tenor saxophonist Hank Mobley was at the peak of his powers on Soul Station. Recorded with a superstar quartet including Art Blakey on drums, Paul Chambers on bass, and Wynton Kelly on piano, it was the first album since Mobley's 1955 debut to feature him as a leader without any other accompanying horns. The clean, uncomplicated sound that resulted from that grouping helps make it the best among his albums and a peak moment during a particularly strong period in his career. (AllMusic)

More of his beautiful melodic ambient guitar work, going nicely with the fresh dusting of snow on the ground and full moon lighting it this morning. This is just an EP length album.
During my workout. A bit dark, but good...
