Thanks Tony, lovely to see this (and others on tape) which were a major part of my (tape only) collection at that time. 

Rodney Crowell  -  "Close Ties"  (2017)  an excellent album

Tonight is becoming a Sonny Clark night.

Here is another good one from him: My conception. With Donald Byrd, Hank Mobley, Paul Chambers and Art Blakey. Talk about a great line up!

Francis and the Lights - Farewell Starlite streaming fromTidal. 

80s sound with lots of synth and a Phil Colins sound to his vocals. 

Peaceful and nice. 

Spoon  -  "Hot Thoughts"  (2017)

John Vanderslice  -  "Dagger Beach"  (2013)

Badi Assad - Echoos of Brazil. Accoustic guitar. 

STW - Monday Morning Mixtape. (Some great tracks this week)

Elliott Smith  -  "Either/Or"   (1997)

Release date in US is Friday (June 9), looking forward to hearing it.

Roger Waters, Is This The Life We Really Want?

I had avoided listening to the tracks when made available as I wanted to play the album through on my first listen. I have now played it 3 times and each time I like it more.

I love that it pulls from past PF and RW albums and yet is definitely a modern sound.

A job well done.

I am really looking forward to my signed Pre-order CD to arrive, hopefully on the 9th.

Admirable customer focus Kev, but the image chosen simply doesn't work graphically, in such a small space! Just too low key.

Still R3 here.

Bloody hell! No satisfying some people. I wiill work on this throughout the day, and hopefully I can come up with a solution that suits all parties. You know I only want to please you all...

Sorry, but I am a lone voice who liked the Sid avatar. Not pretty but it made me chuckle. BTW I had a chopper like Sid's. I was one of the first kids to get one and all the girls loved it. Oooh…errr…missus.

Nigel - fear not! As soon as Ian, Tony and Chris are looking the other way, Sid will return. On his Chopper.

Arrived home and a few CD's were awaiting ..... 

First up ........ (a recommendation from NigelB & MDS from a few days ago)

Kandace Springs - Soul Eyes

.....from the first few songs.....its a winner. Great voice, just smooth......

......time for one more before off to bed, and going with another recommendation

......by some members in this thread.

So far, so good, enjoying the music...... a couple of the songs remind me of Damien Rice.

A + 3 | Tidal

(1967 | 2017)

I'm hoping that at some stage the hi-res 24/96  (available by ripping and converting the Blue Ray Disc) will be made available to buy separately, in the meantime I'll settle for this latest 2 CD remaster.
