Haywood Henry Featuring Joe Newman And Hank Jones – The Gentle Monster (Uptown 1983)

Superb.

Go for it, Steve. I'd retire tomorrow but property tax and health insurance prohibit that. Friends in Europe are retired already as they don't have those expenses :-(

@sbank Yes, sounds great on vinyl.

how's the SQ on First Aid Kit – The Big Black & The Blue (Wichita 2010), think it's worthwhile over the digital?

First Aid Kit – Who By Fire, Live Tribute To Leonard Cohen (Columbia 2021)

Not what I expected as it's live and the recording is just okay but the music and presentation is growing on me. 

Little Charlie And The Nightcats – Disturbing The Peace (Alligator 1988)

@slaw Steve, you absolutely must get it. When you do, let’s know what you think. It's a nice clean recording.

The Incredible String Band – Liquid Acrobat As Regards The Air (Elektra 1972)

Snuffy Jenkins & Pappy Sherrill – 33 Years Of Pickin’ And Pluckin’  (Rounder 1971)

In the room recording. Bluegrass baby, replete with raspy fiddle. Awesome.

Eddie Condon, Wild Bill Davison, Ken Davern, Dick Wellstood, Gene Krupa – Jazz At The New School Live (Chiaroscuro 1972)

Christopher Hogwood – Keyboard Music On Authentic Instruments (L'Oiseau-Lyre 1983)

@sbank You could be right! Although, I know @slaw expressed an interest three years ago. Not sure if he bought into them.

sometimes I think we’re First Aid Kits only fans.

Rhiannon Giddens With Francesco Turrisi – There Is No Other (Nonesuch 2019)

Recommended. 

Ytre Suløens Jass-Ensemble, Barbara Ann Shorts – A Stone For Bessie Smith (Kirkelig Kulturverksted 1987)

Love Bessie Smith. Killed in a car in 1937, aged 43. Barbara Ann Shorts is just fine in the style. 

Ralph Sutton, Ruby Braff, Milt Hinton, Mousey Alexander – On Sunnie’s Side Of The Street Live (The Blue Angel Jazz Club 1968)

...

Sammi Smith – The Fabulous Sammi Smith (Buckboard 1977)

Solid country singer and a great recording. Side 2.

Clark Kessinger – Old-Time Music With Fiddle & Guitar (Rounder 1972)

Perfect folk violin. Very good recording. 

Holly Golightly And The Brokeoffs – Nobody Will Be There (Damaged Goods 2011)

Stunning album. One of my favorites.
