Stevie Wonder - Songs in the Key of Life
Qobuz Hi-Res
Released 45 years ago, and still holds it own. |
Marcio Faraco - Interior
Marcio Faraco- Cajueiro
Nice and mellow Brazilian singer, with a mix of bossa nova and forro.
|
Carl Perkins - The King Of Rockabilly (Sun Records 70th)
Wonderful SQ. Hard to sit and listen, I just wanted to get up and dance.
Shaylee - Short-Sighted Security
*meh* Swing and a miss
Son House - Forever on My Mind
Classic sound. Really got pulled in by his simplicity and depth
|
Joan Jett and the Blackhearts - Changeup
The ladies present all their favorites in acoustic sets. Strong start with “Runaway”.
|
|
Rod Stewart - The Tears of Hercules
Nice to see some of the old guys releasing new stuff.
|
Diana Ross - Thank You
Retired diva abuses auto tuner. Really disappointing.
|
Tayler Swift -Red (Taylor's Version)
Can't say I am a big Taylor Swift fan, but all the press about her re-recording her old works because of contract disputes/theft made me curious. I have not heard the older version of this album, but this version is quite nice.
|
Cat Stevens - Teaser and the Firecat
Not a completely new recording, like the recent "Tea for the Tillerman" 50th anniversary release. But there is some interesting re-engineering going on in several of the songs. Also, some obligatory outtakes and different versions.
|
Sting - The Bridge
listening to a Hi-Res version on Qobuz, and I have to sat the SQ is outstanding. Well engineered, with excellent soundstage and separation on my Zu DWs. The music ain't bad, either.
|
Adele -30.
Absolutely transcendent. Perfect for driving around on a sunny autumn day!
|
Agreed! Just finished it myself
|

Joey Alexander - In A Sentimental Mood (Bonus Collection)
Qobuz HiRes
Definitely what I’m in the mood for tonight
|
Holy crap! I just looked up Joey Alexander’s bio, and he was 11 when this was recorded!
|
Nils Lofgren- Acoustic Live
Qobuz
@ovinewar1 , thanks! This is a keeper!
|
Gerald Clayton - Bells on Sand
Qobuz Hi-Res
Phenomenal jazz pianist. Classic jazz mixed with a gospel tinge
The Kinks - Village Green Preservation Society
Qobuz Hi-Res
I’ve never listened to the album in full until today. Still holds up well after 55 years.
|
The Quintet:Live At Massey Hall (1953)
Qobuz
i came across an article that claimed it was once considered the best jazz album ever released. It featured alto saxophonist Charlie Parker, trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie, pianist Bud Powell, bassist Charles Mingus, and drummer Max Roach playing together as a group.
|
Wet Leg - Wet Leg
Qobuz Hi-Res
A great album for a beautiful spring day! The liner notes describe them at proto-punk. Kinda sounds like the B-52s to me.
|
@big_greg
I caught Ann Wilson - Fierce Bliss, on Qobuz a few days ago. Really rocking!
|
Sarah Beth Tomberlin - i don’t know who needs to hear this...
Qobuz Hi-Res
Etheral voice, and beautiful music that entranced me.
|
Willie Nelson - A Beautiful Time
Qobuz Hi-Res
Willie performs like he knows it’s his last album. Deep meditations on death and dying, of friends long gone, of past loves. He’s 89 and can’t fool himself or anyone else into thinking his time isn’t limited, and he wants you to know he’s ready.
|
Omar Sosa - MANOS (Live)
Qobuz Hi-Res
Wonderful classical piano, and a really fun live performance. Great SQ!
|
I’ve been checking out a New York-based collective of Brazilian artists called “Forro in the Dark” on Qobuz. Popping music!
|
I’ve been dipping into the new Qobuz releases also.
The UB40 album “Unprecedented” is a return to form for the group
Imagine Dragons - Mercury Acts 1&2. I’m not really familiar with this group, but have to say I like the album. Also a few really good pop songs
Les Paul - Best of the Capitol Masters is well worth listening to.
|
Just finished the CCR Live at Albert Hall album. Not sure how I feel about it. The sound quality could have been better.
I am listening to the eponymous “Hindu Love Gods” album, upon recommendation from another thread. After that, let’s visit the new postings on Qobuz.

Hang Massive - Luminous Emptiness
Thanks, @gladmo I’m diggin it!
