Justin Hayward~John Lodge / Blue Jays

An album better than any Moody Blues effort by some Moody Blues guys.
|
Gotta +1 you Brian on Eels!
Greg, I was reading somewhere that Joe Walsh played on a Donna Summers album. Cool! I know he was called to be a session musician at times
|
Blind Faith / S-T
1969 RSO
|
Steve, that's interesting. I couldn't find what record of hers he played on, It would be interesting to hear. According to AllMusic Joe Walsh has 1,732 credits!
|
Grand Funk - Closer to Home. This copy isn't as nice as the one I played yesterday.
|
It was Jeff Baxter, not Joe Walsh. Jeff played on "Hot Stuff".
|
Rhiannon Giddens With Francesco Turrisi – There Is No Other (Nonesuch 2019)
Stunning album. Music, recording and vinyl. Recommended.
|
+1 @noromance
I think I own most of Rhiannon's work. A hometown gal.
|
@slaw
Gotta +1 you Brian on Eels!
Steve, never even streamed it, so a complete surprise. I like it. Much more of a 'full band' sound. May take a couple more listens, but this could become a favorite Eels album in my collection.

Thats my first Jack White pick-up. Really like that set after streaming it. Vinyl is really good, but the pressing a tad noisy.
Great addition to the collection. Very creative guy.
|
And he is very dedicated to vinyl.
|
Jethro Tull - Thick As A Brick This is the Steven Wilson remix, just came off of backorder. Rather disappointing, sounds like a standard CD. My other Steven Wilson remixes (Benefit, This Was, Stand Up) all sound vastly superior.
The Allman Brother Band - At Fillmore East Great concert, not such a great live recording.
Paul Simon - One Trick Pony An excellent album, but really, had to play something to make sure that it isn't my hi-fi sounding poorly on those other albums. It's not, this one sounds fabulous!
|
The Milk Carton Kids - Monterey (Anti 2015) |
Sly And The Family Stone: Greatest Hits.

I guess all that Grand Funk record needed was a good cleaning! Went from VG to VG+.

|
Lyle Lovett "Joshua Judges Ruth"
my replacement copy, already see a teeny scratch....
|
@sbank ,
I’m hearing what you were talking about, wishing for more piano attack!! Again on the hand-clapping on "Church" .
I’m overall, still happy if I can get one quiet copy out of two. The first track on side two.... the piano intro sounds nice and appropriate though.
I believe I’d give it more than 8.5 on sonics just because the music is so great!! You’re more likely hearing through unbiased ears than I. Then again, this may be how it was intended?
I am rethinking my cleaning regimen.
