Betty Harris - The Lost Queen of New Orleans Soul.
A cracking album of Allen Toussaint choons, from a largely overlooked, and certainly underrated soul voice.
It's there on Tidal, and is definitely well worth a listen.

Works for me ................
Robert Plant - Manic Nirvana.
Planty in his, "not quite left Zep behind yet" phase ................ erm ...................LOUD!
I've been racking my brains to think who Sarah Jarosz reminds me of. Found the answer in my old fave - Mindy Smith.
Mindy Smith - One Moment More
Rodney Crowell - Tarpaper Sky. (2014). Tidal. I like his latest album so much, I have to delve a little in his back catalogue. This is sounding rather good also.
The ooey so gooey Zooey. Yes Please.
One of my personal favs of the year so far.
His first and still one of his best.
One of the greatest Texas Country albums ever made. A true classic.
That was my listening for today when my internet was down.
Lyle Lovett - "Lyle Lovett" (1986)
Augustus Pabo - Skanking Easy.
Some late night Roots Reggae ................. The Man .................The Legend ................. 'nuff said. 
Keith Urban - "Ripcord" (2016)
Cheers,

The A minor and B flat major sonatas and the Sonatina in G minor are all "new," located in manuscript at the British Library and recorded for the first time here. The Gigue dite Pfefferstossl (Pepper Mill Jig) is found in two manuscripts at Klagenfurt and Vienna, respectively, with the A major Ciaccona in Vienna alone; neither of these appear to have been recorded either. Among many virtues that can be singled out among these previously unknown works, the B flat major sonata includes a striking "Fantaisie sur une basse Obstinée," a movement where the violin spins out an ever increasingly complex set of variations of a ground bass that's constantly rising upward. Along the way we are treated to a theorbo sonata by Giovanni Pittoni and Toccata by Wolfgang Ebner; now there are a couple of names that are "ensconced on the list of obscure composers!" In the context of the ensemble works, the Clavierorganum works well and adds a considerable amount of color to Schmelzer's Sonata Quarta, but it is hard to get used to the sound of it in Ebner's Toccata -- it almost resembles one of those electronic keyboard settings that combines the sound of two instruments.(AllMusic)

Chailly/Gewandhaus: Brahms Symphony 1 & 3
I have never seen eye to eye with Chailly and this is no exception.
Cold and Aloof isn't my kind of Brahms.
Another of my 'saw it in the music room, took a punt' albums. Very enjoyable
Mandolin Orange - Blindfaller
