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

Reminds what a great gig it was and the atomosphere was fantastic on the night in the Apollo.

The place was rocking

Classic Tina at her best. 

It's one of my favourite LPs. Many of the songs probably reflect her bad experiences before she went solo. I have a lot of admiration for her.

Triggered by the conversation on Simon's return from France thread, a Sandy night. First  Rendezvous on the kitchen Qb while cooking a chicken and casserole for tomorrow. Some lovely originals, and a wonderful Candle in the Wind.

I bought a 5 CD set at Christmas for lass than a tenner. It has the following CDs

1. The North Star, Grassman and Raven

2. Sandy

3. Like an Old Fashioned Waltz

4. Rendezvous 

5. Gold Dust Live at the Royalty (The Final Concert)

The vinyl is so expensive even in Oxfam. I find many of her songs make me feel sad. I liked her more with Fairport Convention. I only have the History of the Fairport Convention double LP.

Phil

Hi Phil, they do a Fairport Convention box set in the same 5 classic albums range as your Sandy set with  their first 5 albums, you get Fairport Convention.  Unhalfbricking,, What We did on our Holidays, Liege and Lief and Full house. About a tender on the river.

i find her songs meaningful and cathartic rather than sad, but I can see your position as well. 

Miles - A Tribute to Jack Johnson. Complete Columbia CD-rip.

A+3 Qobuz.  Triggered by Haim Ronen.

I love Alison Kraus and the Union Station's music. This album also includes Sam Bush on Mandolin on several songs as well as Dolly Parton and Lyle Lovett providing harmony vocals on the song, "Dreaming My Dreams With You."

A+3 Tidal.  This artist is new to me. Beautiful album.

Wayne Horwitz - Some places are forever afternoon

Wayne Horwitz (Piano, Hammond B-3, electronics), Ron Miles (cornet), Sara Schoenbeck (bassoon), Peggy Lee (cello), Tim Young (guitar), Keith Lowe (bass) and Eric Eagle (drums)

Wayne composed 12 pieces based on 12 poems written by Richard Hugo. Richard wrote many poems based on the towns and locations in the Pacific Northwest.  At the end of Wayne's project he went on tour through the Pacific Northwest, part of the performance was the individual poem would be read prior to the piece of music being played. (The Audio on the CD only has the music but the 12 poems are included in the insert included with the CD)

I attended one of the performances in Port Townsend, WA, the location of Copper Canyon Press which publishes poetry exclusively.

This album is extremely enjoyable.

Thanks for this recommendation.  Listening to it now on Spotify and enjoying it.  Spotify spells his last name Hor-v-itz as opposed to the "w".  regards, Jeff A

Thanks for catching the misspelling. The eyes are not what they used to be......

To go with the high humidity and fireworks, on the Chesky label:

Van Halen. Eponymous debut (1978) on original CD from 1990. It's now early July 5 and folks in my neighborhood are still celebrating July 4th with their remaining firecrackers, so why not put on some metal rock in the wee hours?

For a moment I thought Carole King was once part of the Mandelring Quartett. Googled it and no, that is apparently Nanette Schmidt.
