2017 has arrived today, so time to start this thread afresh.
Last year's thread can be found here;
This is an absolutely superb recording recently released by ECM with a great line up. On continuous rotation here - review by John Kelman from All About Jazz

The Selecter - Too Much Pressure. The Selecter - Daylight.
Still in a bouncy 2-Tone frame of mind, musical sunshine to make you smile.
"Daylight", their latest album, proves that they've still got it. More reggae than ska, but still very good.
Sons Of Apollo, Pychotic Symphnoy.
This has just drop through the letter box, so I am giving it the first play, quite loud 
.
"Reuniting to form SONS OF APOLLO, Portnoy and Sherinian have joined forces with Ron “Bumblefoot” Thal (ex-Guns N’ Roses), Billy Sheehan (The Winery Dogs, Mr. Big, David Lee Roth) and Jeff Scott Soto (ex-Journey, ex-Yngwie Malmsteen’s Rising Force). Their debut album is PSYCHOTIC SYMPHONY"

The album that first alerted me to the delightful voice of Ms Krauss and indeed Bluegrass. Who would have thought that Led Zep could mix with Country? Naaah. But it works, beautifully.
exactly my thoughts on this too... as i posted a month or so ago...
enjoy

JONI MITCHELL - DON JUAN'S RECKLESS DAUGHTER
A mention from CLIVE B yesterday had me place this in the TIDAL queue, to take it out for a spin.
Streaming now......
First up, Van Morrison - Duets
....Joss Stone's duet with Van made me think of her Soul Sessions album, so now....
With the exception of a couple of dodgy tracks on the Van Duets album these are belters. Ms Stone is one talented lady. Whatever happened to her?

Newsflash...
Joss Stone Soul Sessions album gets the coveted NigelB five smiley face award.

1971 - vinyl - UK first pressing...
(1990)
Something from the boys to get the early evening started.
Madness - One Step Beyond.... Specials - Specials.
Still in a 2-Tone mood, so what else, to follow The Beat and The Selecter?
These two, surely?

It's hard to get off the 'Tops once you're on them, this is one of my favourite's, super album that (to me) mixes up their old and new wonderfully well. Crank it up!

This is one of my all time favourite LPs. Does it every time!

I really got into these boys and their grunge rock back in the day, great early albums played loud with the air guitar at the ready.
Mr Loaf’s magnum opus still sounds good after all these years. OTT pomp rock at its very best.
Ideal for some post-dinner relaxation.
