Doyle Bramhall II's new album Shades.

Pretty good and Eric Clapton guests and solos on one track.
I think you'll find it's a bit more complicated than that.

BBC R3, Rachmaninov second piano concerto, right now.

I don't care how overdone it is; it still leaves me weeping.

"Wipe the Windows, Check the Oil, Dollar Gas"

An album which is a collection of live performances from 1972-1975 by the Allman Brothers Band.
I've had this for decades on vinyl but mainly ignored it really. The sound is a bit ropey on some of the tracks but its worth persevering as some are stunning and show why the Allmans were such a live draw in the early 70s.
"Aint wasting time no more" recorded at a nightclub New Year's eve 1972 is outstanding. Great vocals from Gregg and fantastic guitar from Dickie Betts.

When they hit the groove they make all the other Southern Rock bands that came after them sound one dimensional and plodding. The had real soul and a groove as well as some good tunes.

I think you'll find it's a bit more complicated than that.

Primal Scream - The Original Memphis Recordings

https://youtu.be/XlscpTz5xWc

This is essentially what should have been the next album to Screamadelica which it is nothing like. Produced by Tom Dowd in Memphis and featuring the Muscle Shoals rhythm section and The Memphis Horns. Primal Screams record company hated it and sent the masters off to other producers to get it completely remixed. That's what was released as Give Out But Don’t Give Up a particularly scrappy album.
This album though released from the newly discovered original Tom Dowd masters is fantastic. It's a far better album that the one that was released in 1994. I can see why the record company hated it though as this is Primal Scream trying to emulate all their 60s and 70s heroes rather than a mid 90s dance / rock cross over album.
Their was a rather good documentary about this on BBC4 last night as well.

Hold music, mostly, interspersed with "press 1 for...".  Trying to make an appointment to get our French ID cards.

A new artist, to us, first seen on ...Later (so it is still, occasionally worth watching):

Fantastic Negrito - Last Days of Oakland.

If you like Led Zep, Rainbow, etc mixed back with a whole load of blues (he covers "In the Pines" on this album), give it a try.
I feel like Captain Kirk, on a brand new planet every day, a little like King Kong on top of the Empire State

Frak! Midnight Oil are touring, but the only available gig is a Sunday night in That London.   That's an expensive evening, ticket, train & hotel  :(

Bah.  I saw them in Glasgow on the beds are burning tour.  It was a fantastic gig.  I've often looked to see if they were touring since but never have.  No chance I can make that Hammersmith date.

Announced a couple of UK dates in 2019.  Swithering about a trip to manchester.
