"Calling Card" by Rory Gallagher

Nice one...... a true genius, much missed in my house.

Did you see him play live ?  I had the priviledge to see the great man play 7 times - whilst not the fastest, loudest or best dressed, in my opinion he was the real deal as far as blues/rock players go  showing Clapton, Page,  SRV etc  how it should be done.

I'm off to play Blueprint now - you've inspired me.

Sadly I didn't discover how good he was until after he died so I never got to see him.

A friend of mine was a hardcore fan from the vary early days and saw him 30-40 times in all and told me how good he was. Nearly eveything he did is on Spotify and there is an excellent 5-CD box set available on Amazon for a pretty nominal sum (About £12 last time I looked).

The most similar talent  still touring is probably Walter Trout who is far better live than on record.

New discovery: Ludique

spending the Easter Friday catching up on a week of Beoworld postings ... and listening to collections for a change rather than random play; so a day of:

• Dory Previn including her 20+ minute PlanetBlue
• Edith Piaf
• Johnny Farnham

plus a couple of "newbies" from iTunes browsing

Got one of my favourite albums on double vinyl the other day after I won £25 of HMV vouchers. Listening to 'Rolling People' from Urban Hymns by the verve on my Beolab 8000 system.

White Beomaster 8000 and CDX + Beovox M150 speakers.

Just going through the Gasolin' boxset which came out a few years ago.

At the time of writing studio album number 6.

A burned copy of Zero 7 - The Garden - Waiting to Die on my just repaired Beogram CD50

"American VI: Ain't no Grave" by Johnny Cash...

I started to listen to all the original versions of the songs performed by Cash on the American Recordings albums and got stuck with Bonnie "Prince" Billy who wrote I see a Darkness (from American Recordings III). His version is quite haunting too, something very unique about his voice...

I have one favourite in common as both original version and Cash' cover: Hurt by Nine Inch Nails. Hard to to think of what to play next after either of them.

One of my favorites...

Despite being one of the few BM8000 yet to have its first service my wite editon plays wonderfully.

At present CDX plays a Thin Lizzy cd called Wild One.

Listening to 'The Cat Empire - The Cat Empire (self-titled)' album. Great lyrics, some booming trumpet and eclectic style

and 'The Avalanches - Since I left You' which is a modern day masterpiece. It's a massive shame they only produced one album and then went their seperate ways.. Pure genius!!

Both are Australian, but should be widely available and are thoroughly worth investing in

The Fame Monster by Lady GaGa

I've seen The Cat Empire live three times, and I'm going for a fourth time soon - possibly the best live act I've ever seen - and yes their albums are fantastic! Their latest; 'So Many Nights'; is not soo good though IMO. They've got a new album in the works though.

Hi,

Brassed Off soundtrack on my Beocord 9000. Pure bliss.

Thought I would give all my Sinatra's a listen.

Phil Collins/Seal. On a sunday evening... :)
