Listening now to this stereo/mono CD.

[cbmmm3]

this coulda shoulda been good. but a "temporary' new lead singer kind of skewers it from being good

 

[The Rang]

What Made Milwaukee Famous -
What Doesn’t Kill Us

Their second album, a bit harder overall than the debut. Like the slightly softer tracks better.

The Stranglers - Dave Greenfield, A Tribute

 

[user 1679]

Over the Rhine "Drunkards's Prayer

 

[Marplot]

The BlueBeaters, Shock! from 2020 .. which I just now found.
Another fun ska release.
I wish I knew a good site to track foreign releases, does anyone?

 

[Marplot]

And the other goody in the mail today:
Giuliano Palma, Old Boy from 2014; not too long after he left The BlueBeaters.
More of a 60's vocal album with a hint of rocksteady than the ska he had been doing.
I did not know that Always Something There To Remind Me was a Burt Bacharach/Hal David tune recorded as a demo by Dionne Warwick; I always thought it was written by Naked Eyes.

Currently giving this a spin -- very much of its time, but further beyond! Keith Tippett plays on this as well.

 

[Quad Linda]

Don't forget Julie Driscoll, Brian Auger and the Trinity. Be sure to check out Encore and Streetnoise. Both spectacular!

I found her 1969 solo here to be an interesting, rather jazzy mix of Joni Mitchell and Sandy Denny. While she can be
raucous when needed, especially at the beginning, I prefer the quieter tunes on this one. Glad I got it, and will certainly
give it a relisten or three.
