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

Dire Straits. Making Movies. On original vinyl from 1980. As most albums go I might feel a little cheated with only seven tracks - I mean seven tracks are an A-side for many Beatles albums. Still, this one manages to leave me convinced I've heard an entire album.

Starting this morning with Bach's cello suites by Paul Tortelier.

Great sounding production giving the best of some good songwriting.

Ha, reminds me of the time I last saw Rickie at a local venue: looked a bit grumpy, 20 minutes into the set she disappeared so we thought must be an early break......not to reappear. Shame though, I really wanted to see her & hear that amazing smokey voice...must have been time for cocoa & bed.....

Sheryl Crow new album "Be Myself".  Tidal.

Pleasant (if unremarkable) Sunday morning listening. 

This is the first of a series of excellent albums by John Potter, based on the works of John Dowland. Beautifully sung, played, and recorded. 

Ray Davies - Americana.  Collaboration with the Jayhawks - first listen. Tidal

Easy Sunday morning listening. Sounding rather marvellous too. 

Air - Talkie Walkie

The end of an Alanis Morisette  gig on Sky Arts, caught the last 30 minutes of it when I turned on the TV to check whether the WI/Pakistan Test had started, then immediately had to pause when my sister rang, so watching after it had finished. She seems less acerbic and angry than her young self, but very accomplished, Ironic seems OK to me, You Learn works for me, I think I prefer it to the JLP  rendition  by a mile. I like where her voice has gone, and she has a crack band. Sound quality not good because I'm watching my  2008 mid-range Panasonic TV through the TV speakers, but music counts.

I saw her in the Jagged Little Pill tour, an album I loved, and it is one of the only gigs I have ever left early.  She just walked up and down the stage without engaging with the audience once and the final straw was her doing You Outta Know acapela.  Went for a meal instead, whch as a shame because we were really looking forward to the gig.  Perhaps she has developed her stage show and presence over the years

Great music with Kenny Burrell and Jimmy Smith (and drum and bass).

From the first second of the first track i was like 'Yeah, this is my kind of music'.

Keith Jarrett - A Multitude of Angels.  Qobuz download.

After discovering (via this forum) this young lady through her 'Build Me Up From Bones' album, i've been buying her other work. This arrived earlier this week so it's getting it's first play. 

Sarah Jarosz - Follow Me Down

Continuing the mellow theme with this classic album before we head out for lunch. Hard to believe it's coming up to 40 years since this first came out 

Steel Pulse - Handsworth Revolution 

A favourite piano cd.

Music for a mellow Sunday afternoon : )

Debs

Sam Outlaw - Tenderheart.  Staying (just) the right side of cheesy .  Tidal

I don't think K.B. ever cut a bad album. Fortunately J.S.' organ is kept in check on most tracks.

Doesn't look like much of an outlaw to me.

Camille Saint-Saëns (1835-1921): Louis Schwizgebel (piano) | Martyn Brabbins | BBC Symphony Orchestra

Piano Concerto No. 2 in g-minor, Op. 22 | Piano Concerto No. 5 "The Egyptian" in F-major, Op. 103

A nice recommendation from EJS to start the morning off in a propulsive fashion.  Who needs coffee?

I really like this album - I thought I might be in a minority of one!

Your experience reminds of one of the times I saw The Pogues. Shane McGowan missed his entry for th first number, came on stage, vomited copiously - gig over!
