Dobet Gnahore - Couleur
Qobuz Hi-Res
Wonderful west African musician and singer, originally from Côte d’Ivoire. Upbeat, danceable and introspective. It will put you in a good mood!

John Coltrane- Both Directions At Once: The Lost Album (Deluxe Edition)

Louden Wainwright III - Dead Skunk (In The Middle of The Road)
Qobuz
Friday afternoon and the summer weekend has begun! |
Liz Phair - Soberish, Qobuz Hi-Res. If you liked her debut, I think you'll like this. This might be my favorite new release of the year, definitely one of them. |
Pure Prairie League, top tracks, Tidal. Could listen to “Amy” nonstop. Ran today streaming Michael Jackson Top Tracks. Forgot how much good music he produced. |
@jjss49
Agree with you about the ACT label. Quality repertoire. Kinda reminds me of ECM in that regard.
Another recording to check out if you haven’t come across it (in somewhat the same style as the Liberetto music...similar "mood" anyway): Espen Eriksen Trio - Never Ending January. A great title given that’s how the last 12 - 18 months have seemed with the pandemic. It’s like the summer of 2020 never really happened. Anyway, it is on the Rune Grammofon label. You can find it on Tidal. Hope you enjoy.
I note your use of the word "jazz".
Had previously found myself wondering about whether that applies to the Lars Danielsson stuff or the Espen Eriksen, etc. Their studio pieces seem highly structured without much (obvious) improvisation, at least as recorded but I can well imagine these ensembles opening up and stretching their legs in a live setting. The jazz label fits, though maybe not to the "traditionalist". |
@ghosthouse
lar's music is so lovely ... so many of the act artists make achingly beautiful music... the label is making a wonderful contribution to the jazz music scene |
Blackberry Smoke - You Hear Georgia, Qobuz Hi-Res. Good stuff! I especially like the track which features Warren Haynes as a guest (All Rise Again). |
@16f4 I might not have been open to receiving such a different version of his work when I listened. Funny how your mood / attitude can have such an impact on how you perceive things. I know I had a little bit of attitude going on, like "he's milking his past, he must have run out of creative energy" when it could have just as easily have been "he's willing to take a risk and reinterpret his work". |
@jlss49
Thanks for posting bout the Lars Danielsson. I have Liberetto I - III. Didn't know about Cloudland; something new to explore. Thanks. |
Lars Danielsson Liberetto

big_gregi enjoyed the Moby album. I haven’t sat down in front of my system in a couple weeks, having been on the road and taking care of my parents, so I could have been in bliss listening to The Shags, for what it’s worth. I did really like “We are all made of stars” and his cover of “Heroes”. |
Allison Russell - Outside Child, Qobuz Hi-Res. Wow, is she talented!
|
@16f4 What did you think of Moby Reprise? I was kind of disappointed. Sometimes I like it when artists re-work their catalog, but I don't think he did any favors to his previous work. |
Moby - Reprise
Qobuz Hi-Res

Whew! Been on the road for the past 2 weeks and I am finally home and chilling on Qobuz. First up is the new Twenty One Pilots album, (Scaled & Icy). My granddaughters favorite musicians. |
Linn's Jazz channel on tunein! |
black midi - Cavalcade, Qobuz Hi-Res. If you like King Crimson, you might like this. |
Bachelor - Doomin' Sun, Qobuz Hi-Res. This one is getting favorited. Good stuff! |
Carol King Top Tracks on Tidal. Earlier it was Dire Straits |
Neil Young - Harvest, Qobuz Hi-Res
|
|
Robert Finley - Sharecropper's Son, Qobuz Hi-Res. Really enjoyed this. |
Sara Bareilles - Amidst the Chaos: Live from the Hollywood Bowl (Live from the Hollywood Bowl), Qobuz Hi-Res
|
Lucky Man - Emerson Lake & Powell |
CSNY - Deja Vu, Qobuz. It sounded so good on my computer system I had to check it out on the main system. |
Khruangbin - Mordechai, good stuff. Style/class of its own. But I like their middle album, Con Todo El Mundo, better.
Also listened to The Black Keys Delta Kream recently. That stuff is right up my alley since I’m already a Junior Kimbrough and RL Burnside Fan. They also used two guest musicians who played with Junior and RL. Also love the Eggleston cover art. Ironic that it is the "Delta" Kream since the music on the album is hill country, not Delta blues. Anyway, the Black Keys do a heck of a job on this one. Great stuff. The CD is on the way.
|
Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young - Déjà Vu (50th Anniversary Deluxe Edition) - Qobuz Hi-Res. I don't know what they did to this, but holy smokes does it sound fantastic!
|
Juliana Hatfield - Blood, Qobuz Hi-Res. Reminds me of some of Liz Phair's best work. Apparently recorded at home during the pandemic.
|
Sounds like a wonderful time! |
Well either way thank you @big_greg , my boy (13) came down from his room and his video game to ask what was it I was playing, I explained the Mississippi Blues / blues genre, he asked if that was same as country, then he got me going, played some bluegrass for him and some blues as well, then I went to Charlie Daniel's and his iconic song, we continued into some swing with Louis then Duke, God I don't know how then we went into Eddie Van Halen and Malcolm Young and he spent quite some time with me listening to Van Halen then AC DC, found some Alana Bridgewater singer from his video games (not bad), then at some point it was too much for him and he told me enough for today.
I think tonight has been the day I listened more with my son, my daughter 16 joined as well but she was less interested.
My experience, priceless.
Good night everyone

@luisma31 I listened to it on my near field system, which doesn't do a great job with soundstaging. I'll have to check it out in the main system! |
@big_greg man that (Crawling) Kingsnake track has such a large Soundstage, very nice thanks for sharing
It sounds like it was recorded with some echo or reverb effect was added
|
Saint-Saenz Symphony No.3 / Franck, conducted by Jean Martinon, if you like classical this is one of the non common composers which could surprise you
EDIT, found it on local DSD, did not even remember I had it
|
The Black Keys - Delta Kream, Qobuz Hi-Res. This is pretty cool, a set of low-key Mississippi blues covers. |
Sarah Vaughan - Images
Qobuz Hi-Res
|
Van Morrison - Latest Record Project, Vol. 1 - Qobuz Hi-Res. Van sounds angry and resentful on some of these tunes, which is a bit of a put off (for me), but there is a lot of "classic" sounding Van on here as well, which makes it a worthwhile listen. |
Band of Horses - "Acoustic at The Ryman"
Spotify |
David Ackles - American Gothic
Qobuz
|
Tim Hardin - Tim Hardin1
Qobuz
Another singer/songwriter who died young. I’ve never really listened to him before, and an article about singer/songwriter albums mentioned him. “Reason to Believe” (later covered by Rod Stewart) is a beautiful song. |
Nick Drake - Pink Moon
Qobuz Hi-Res
A singer/songwriter who died too young. I have a few singer/songwriter albums in the queue for today. |
Areni Agbabian - Bloom
Qobuz Hi-Res
Ethereal experimental jazz that will affect you.
|
|
Yellow Moon (Album) - Neville Brothers on Amazon Music presented in HD |
Alex Chilton - Boogie Shoes: Live on Beale Street, Qobuz. This is pretty cool! |
@reubent yes, and you're right in that it doesn't capture the magic of the early-90's indie vibe that NAD and Ride and others created. "Godfodder" is a classic of the genre.
|
Natalie Bergman - Mercy, Qobuz Hi-Res. I almost passed by this one because... well, let's just say that gospel music isn't really my thing, but she has a great voice and the music and recording are really nice and the songs are uplifting. I ended up really liking it. |
@simao - Were you referring to
Ned's Atomic Dustbin - "Brainbloodvolume"? Pretty good album, but doesn't rise to the level of the first two, IMHO. I really like "God Fodder" and "Are You Normal". |
@simao If you like alfamist you might enjoy Tony Allen - There Is No End |
