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;
And some classic Fado.
Ripped and getting its first play. Liking it so far.
Shelby Lynne & Allison Moorer - Not Dark Yet
I should have seen Caravan at the Fairfield Halls. Didn't though. Just wanted to get in on the thread! I suppose that's thread bombing.
Currently playing this, sounding superb:
By way of apology for the thread bombing I promise to play this excellent recording next

Hospital tomorrow Bert?
Yes - apparently now at 7.00 AM on the table....
Hope all goes well for tomorrow, Bert
Now I'm playing the original show that made up some of Ricochet:
This is TD bootleg box 1, disc something or other- its the 23 Oct 1975 show at Fairfield Halls. I have got a lot of the Tangerine Tree as well and this show is one of the favourites. For those that are REALLY interested, I just found the story of Ricochet - google for "the story behind ricochet music aficionado" and you get a page telling how the record was made and the tour of 1975.
BTW I have never been to the Fairfield Halls - I just knew it from the TD shows and other people.
I won't go on any more about Ricochet I promise!
Finishing off the evening with this.
Jakob Dylan - Seeing Things
Creedence Clearwater Revival - Best Of.
Why?
Well, is there ever a reason not to be listening to CCR's brand of swamp rock? 
(1994)
Joining Dave with some Creedence. This is the best "Chronicle" to buy it has really good SQ and has the great eleven minute version of Heard it Through the Grape Vine.

The Weather Station
Now Playing......
Elvis Costello & The Brodsky Quartet - The Juliet Letters
Something a little different this afternoon..... This has been a crazy day so something different fits right in.
1995 - vinyl - UK pressing...
Standard Coltrane - One of those issued by Prestige in the 60's (1962) without Trane's input nor approval, from sessions recorded in the 50's (1958), capitalizing on his rising fame! CD-rip. Good one though.
On CD:-
Diana Krall - The Girl In The Other Room
On pristine Japanese Vinyl
Now Playing......
John Scofield with Pat Methany - I Can See Your House From Here
John Scofield (guitar, steel-string acoustic guitar), Pat Metheny (guitar, guitar synth, nylon-string acoustic guitar), Steve Swallow (electric bass, acoustic bass guitar), and Bill Stewart (drums)
A very nice album for a Thursday evening....... for anytime actually.
AllMusic Review by Ron Wynn
Guitar wizards John Scofield and Pat Metheny have consistently made commercially successful, accessible music while remaining true to their improvisational leanings. It's no surprise that their collaboration sounds so relaxed, fluid, and musically serene. Listeners shouldn't necessarily expect a series of slashing duels, but it's certainly not vapid new age or retrograde fusion. Scofield and Methenydivide compositional duties and play masterful, expressive solos. Guitar fans will be especially impressed with the mastering, which makes Scofield and Metheny's guitars sound right in the room. Even those who don't like sessions without horns, brass, or keyboards shouldn't spurn this one; it still has plenty of muscle.
