[1964white]

James Taylor 'Mud Slide Slim & The Blue Horizon'

Fifty years on this album is still just as magical as I recalled it from all those years ago. Taylor’s voice is so smooth and rich, and his style is so laid-back that listening to him is infinitely comforting. Even when he is singing sad songs, his voice seems to promise that there is hope. His beautiful rendition of Carole King's 'You've Got A Friend' & the gorgeous 'You Can Close Your Eyes' will always be firm favourites of mine

Glen Campbell 'Greatest Hits'

Listening to Glen's voice gives me a true feeling of serenity & peacefulness.

Wichita Lineman, By The Time I Get To Phoenix, Galveston, Try A Little Kindness, Gentle On My Mind, Honey Come Back & It's Only Make Believe are unforgettable classic songs

Lily Allen 'Alright Still'

Lily Allen: her of heart-shaped earrings, fluorescent eye liner and summer anthem "Smile", has created a neat, cohesive debut, describing urban life from the clever girl's perspective. The cockney accent and little melodies are funny, clever, and satisfyingly vengeful.

Lilys follow-up album 'It's Not Me It's You' is the album I would always recommend

[The Subhuman]

Death in Vegas - The Contino Sessions
and
Album of the year - Nilufer Yanya - Miss Paradise

[1964white]

I almost picked this for one of my 'review' albums - a top fave.

In the middle of my early REM binge - yesterday and today it's Life's Rich Pageant.

Are you into the Ozrics at all?

Not sure which I prefer, the Contino Sessions or Dead Elvis, depends on mood I guess

[Muppet the Cat]

Currently playing on the CD player are The Black Crowes - Amorica

[lufc1304]

Thanks to faaip, I'm currently listening to Dope Lemon 'Smooth Big Cat' on Youtube. Album isn't released until September (I think), but all the tracks are on there. Dr John meets the Fun Lovin Criminals, loving it!!

Jimmy Smith - The Cat

Richard Fontaine ‘Thirteen Cities'
Really enjoying this recent purchase. Although the appeal of this album is evident from the very first play, repeated listens reveal more of the depth and longevity of 'Thirteen Cities', as this is a piece of art which will reward the investment of your time and truly grows in stature with each play

Still playing the above little gem I acquired not so long ago

Womack & Womack 'Conscience'

I picked up this album for a quid a couple of weeks ago.

I had forgotten how good 'Conscience' is. I always enjoyed the success of their superb single 'Teardrops' from this album but every other track is appealing, Cecil and Linda Womack writing and performing a sustained set of deeply grooved material, the lyrics as thoughtful narratives on Life, from the nature and impact of true friendship or its loss.

Cracking soul/funk album from the late 80's, not for everyone I know but I love it

[hector]

Certainly not for me!!!

this week so far has been quiet but
Rolling Stones - Let it Bleed
Supertramp - Paris (currently in the car machine)

[Mick Jones shoulder]

Some Norman Connors for me today.

There's a name rarely mentioned, 70's jazz fusion/smooth jazz at it's best

[The Subhuman]

Billy Eilish

and

CC - Hard Candy

Great drummer, producer and worked with great singers Phyllis Hyman, Michael Henderson. Like a bit of jazz fusion, smooth soul especially in this weather How about Dexter Wansel for Phily's take on jazz fusion
