Black Uhuru, nice to remember how good they are (and Sly & Robbie, natch)

On my commute this week I've been listening to various tracks from Balkan Beat Box. It's been perfect - the beats match my cadence almost perfectly. The commutes have been nice, but the music has made them even more enjoyable.

The track that got me hooked on BBB was

Now if I could only find somewhere to get some Gypsy Sound System tracks...

Eric Clapton - Backless

On vinyl. I'm giving the Thorens a workout today.

What, you can hear her snoring all the way from Toytown?

Right now, the school choir performing in the hall.

They're good.

Right, back to work....

Still listening to the new Rush album.
It's a keeper, for sure.

CrinklyLion · « **Reply #3408 on:** 07 December, 2012, 01:35:19 pm »

Laura Cantrell, Trains And Boats And Planes. Right now, Howard Hughes Blues.

Diana Krall - Glad Rag Doll

Its produced by the splendiferous T-Bone Burnett and is a lovely dark reworking of old songs. Not like Mrs Costello's usually output at all.

The very wonderful Tunisian Oud player Anouar Brahem playing Astrakan Cafe.

Listening to Arthur Smith sing Leonard Cohen.

Amy Rigby, 18 Again - An Anthology.

I may follow it with Til The Wheels Fall Off. Partly because "Are We Ever Going To Have Sex Again" makes me snort, deeply unattractively, with laughter every single time I listen to it.

She's playing in Glasgow in March. But it's onna school night and I can't go

Fingers crossed for more dates getting added.

Madness - One Better Day. Superb xylophone/piano combination.

Roy Orbison

andrewc · « **Reply #3416 on:** 09 December, 2012, 09:14:44 pm »

Currently Daniel Barenboim, playing Beethoven. I've been feeling crap all day, so have been drinking tea and listening to music. Bach, Beethoven, This Mortal Coil and Springsteen.

LindaG · « **Reply #3417 on:** 10 December, 2012, 11:18:09 am »

Johnny Marr and the Healers. Very '90s that.

Dermot O'Leary interviewing Johnny Marr.

With a song from the new album, and a re-working of Please Please Please.

Oh yes. Can't wait to see him live in March

And now, a hilarious podcast interview with Tom Butchart of Sound It Out Records.

Susan Tedesch

If you like soul, R&B with a bit of southern fried rock rather then you should like this. She plays a mean Telecaster (but a Les Paul here)as well as being a great singer. Also married to pne of the best blues / slide guitarists around.

Ooh! Inspired by andrewc, another oud player: Rabih Abou-Khali. Specifically A Chocolate Love Affair, from the wonderful Songs For Sad Women album.

By an utterly amazing coincidence I've just read your post and am listening to the same piece!

I was camping in Southern Ireland and listening to a local jazz programme when I heard "Songs For Sad Women" for the first time. I made a note of the name and bought it when I got home.
