Newly retired Music fanatic. Local music historian. For previous 5 years managed the oldest Arts Centre in the UK but I'm not sure how that happened.
Bout time I posted something.... I will try and put a track on here each day that is new to me. This one popped up in a playlist my brother sent to me. Go easy on the banjo's

Anyone see the 80 year-old John Fogerty at Glasto yesterday? Seeing these old guys is a strange experience. Firstly even though they are obviously not at the peak of their powers, you are reminded of their legacy and are sure glad that they are still alive.

"Cornbread, Peas & Black Molasses" by Taj Mahal & Ry Cooder. Great to see these two re-unite for a tribute to a duo, Sonny Terry & Brownie McGhee, that were hugely popular in this country back in the 60's.

Nick Lowe produced what could be his best album back in 2024. "Blue On Blue" is not the Bobby Vinton song of the same title but an excellent Lowe original. Why is this man not recognised for the great songwriter that he is?

"Black Coffee". Not the classic by Bobby Darin, Peggy Lee or Julie London. This is another song of that title by the all girl group All Saints. It's probably the only song by them that I've ever going to like but I LOVE this record..

"Mellow Yellow" by Donovan. Yes he could be annoyingly hippy trippy at times, but he is also a very under-rated songwriter in my opinion.

The Trumpeteers - "Milky White Way" from 1947, one of the biggest selling gospel songs in history. Later covered by Elvis who certainly knew a thing or two about Gospel music.

From Chet Baker to The Clash in one easy step. Not, in my opinion, the archetypal punk band but the best group from that period, especially after finding their true voice on "London Calling".

Aimee Mann has been consistently good since she burst onto the scene with Til Tuesday. This is from what I believe to be her best album yet it was turned down by her then record company and she had to release it independently.
