What is spinning?

I pulled this puppy out the other day as I was digging through the pile in search of some "back porch" music. Dana Owens, AKA Queen Latifa, released the album in 2005, to no little acclaim. Her intonation, phrasing and control are all superb evidence that the lady is a true, blue professional. Likewise, the accompanying arangements of her big band swings and blows right into your ears with a rare suppleness and zest that just isn't heard that much nowadays. A very good listen and lots of fun!

While I was checking out some Madeleine Peyroux samples I ran across this group called Pink Martini which I liked a lot. I think it's a group, maybe the singer is named Pink. Anyway I'm putting one of the albums on my hit list.

I also listened to the Puppini Sisters which was very interesting. I don't think it's for me but some of you might want to check them out. Sort of a modern day Andrew Sisters thing. In fact, one of the albums I checked out has covers of Mr. Sandman and Boogoe Woogie Bugle Boy.

Just one of those evenings where Little Feat Waiting for Columbus sounds good!
Jimmy B

That's a good album for sure.

I thought the busy times would be over once the move was complete but 'twas not to be. I'm still trying to catch up and I still haven't come up with a new storage system after having abandoned my trusty cabinetry. Thus, my spare bedroom has become a chaotic library of sounds...sorta like a real-world Media Player on random and whatever pile ya reach in always has some goodies...

Turn down the lights...have a glass...sit awhile....

Been pretty into some back-porch country, sunset-watchin', beer sippin' tunes.
Doc Watson- Red Chair Blues
Neil Young - Zuma
Grateful Dead - American Beauty
Arthur Russell - Love Will Overtake Me
a Josh Ritter mix cd

oh yea - I've been listening to a ton of Drive By Truckers & Husker Du too.!

Sometimes an LP is worth buying for the cover. Wandering around in my Linda Ronstadt, Bonnie Raiit and Emmylou Harris vinyl, these days... a pretty big stack, so it might take a while.

Lee Ritenour, First Course. Good album, now for some reason out of print even on CD.

Today is a good day for...Wasis Diop:

What a seriously great photo!

Bringing the weekend in with a crazy mix of Flamenco Guitar and African melodies all held together by Danny Thompsons double Bass. Shouldn't work, but does.
Have a good one.

Good morning to you too. It was time to call a halt to the sabatical and dive straight back in. The water feels good as they say. Hope all is well your end.

N.P.

Always got a toe in, Bernd! A bit of exile ain't such a bad thing....Still on the bike, I see....

I wasn't around this weekend, it is good to see you back Bernd.

A little Blues to start the week. This is a superb recording and available on Vinyl.:yesnod:

The new Gomez is in heavy rotation over here. Like it. A New Tide is an album which shows a return to roots, and it seems as though every different style they have experimented with has been wrapped up with this album.:) Good recording too.

Keeping it not too serious...

Received this most beautiful record yesterday.

Anne Bisson - Blue Mind

The first time you hear Bisson's crystal clear voice, you'll likely get shivers down the spine. Melodies soar with a delicate confidence through changes that are a unique blend of late night jazz and vocal accomplishment. One of the best recordings I have ever heard and a superb pressing to boot.:thumbsup: Why can't they all be recorded like that? All songs here are self penned, apart from the brilliant Steve Hackett writen - Hoping Love Will Last.

And now for something completely different.
Dirty grubby blues, a gravel voice and a slide guitar player that surely has visited the crossroads once or twice. It's rocking.
