If there was only ONE album/cd/release you can listen to, over and over.............


Your " best ever " recording, which has likely been discussed ad nauseam, would you select, say, if given a choice of only one ( whatever the scenario would be; stranded on an island, locked up in isolation, all music gone, but this one ). As hard as this is, as there are so many to choose from, I have selected " A Tribute To Jack Johnson ", by the esteemed Miles Davis ( 1992 Columbia version ). I have selected this, specifically for the performances, as I do with all of my listening. The playing.....the musicianship.....the arrangement.....the story, set to music, by the esteemed M.D.. And, my system delivers the message, so I feel proud of my set up. What can I say ? I hope everyone well, and, ENJOY ! Always, MrD.

I could go with almost every single album(s) mentioned here but, on reflection, I find myself playing Linda Ronstadt’s Heart Like a Wheel when I can think of nothing else to choose. It’s compact, well recorded, and I saw her on tour after it’s release.

let me confirm: there is no studio trickery used to give her voice that “wall of sound”….she did it onstage in a cow barn in Mississippi.
