Last one for tonight. Ray Price’s, “Night Life,” is a killer cover!!
Pablo Honey Radiohead
Some might call this background dinner music but I love it early in the morning with coffee. It’s like a warm, soft blanket. The recording quality is fantastic too. It is possible for modern recordings to sound good!!
The first song is about a father writing a letter to his son telling him to come home, “your mother’s dead.”
Welcome to the thread J1Hampton. Hope your house stayed dry in Houston. Thanks for posting an interesting choice.
London 1974
Verisimilitude by Tyshawn Sorey. Released in August.
Elk, you are a man for all seasons: Taylor Swift. I’ll be damned!!!
I try to keep aware of new culturally relevant releases. Taylor Swift has been interesting to watch as she matures.
One of the great things about this thread as I learn of things I have not heard. It has been wonderful to be exposed to music I would otherwise never knew existed.
I thus wish more people participated. (nudge, nudge)
As a boomer kid listening to The Beatles, Pink Floyd, The Stones and Zeppelin, if someone had said, Dixieland Jazz is in your future, I would have laughed at the improbability. But God I do love it. Such happy music. This is a great release. Two giants of the genre.
Elk saidAgree on both counts. I like the smallness of this board. Hoffman’s site is unbelievable by comparison. The richness and depth of the expertise is second to none. The problem is the site is soooo big now, threads get buried. I follow narrow threads there: Bear Family, Pre War Blues, etc.. Not surprisingly, Lonson started a huge thread there, “Jazz and Conversation.”One of the great things about this thread as I learn of things I have not heard.

Just picked this up. Yes, I love Elvis. All of his Sun output, the best Elvis! Disc 1. Unbelievable sound quality.
amsco15 saidYes, I started that thread 14 months ago and it has become a nice home for me there. I like that I set the parameters that we can include "conversation" as in the other long-standing jazz thread there a few were emphatic that only nuts and bolts jazz discussion be allowed (though talk of what alcohol was being consumed was somehow allowed) and I got tired of that restrictive attitude. It's nice to have that thread to talk about the music and how it sounds in your home and how it fits into what is going on in your life.Elk saidAgree on both counts.

I believe her first record.
Oops, looked it up, her third record…
....to talk about the music and how it sounds in your home and how it fits into what is going on in your life.
I like that thought!
Just a great record and great sounding. PLAY IT LOUD, your stereo will be happy. 24/96 FLAC
