New favorite VINYL Album?

James Blackshaw "The Glass Bead Game"

Lyrical 12 string guitar passages extended to include some strings and piano. Somehow manages to make each new record more beautiful than the previous one - not sure how he does this but I'm glad he does.

Melody Gardot, "My One and Only Thrill." Vinyl version even has one track not on the CD. Great sound, great singer/songwriter. Google her backstory.

Quicksilver Messenger Service, "Live at the Carousel Ballroom". For Quichsilver fans only, "The Fool" is interesting. "Who Do You Love" is a little disappointing. I've not heard the jam lp yet.

Marianne Faithfull's new release "Easy Come, Easy Go". It a double album. She does a number of covers and does multiple duets (my favorite is her duet with Antony). Extremely well recorded. In fact a friend of mine commented on the quality of microphone on the front cover of the LP. You can hear every cigarette she ever smoked!

I agree with Jloveys, the Thelonious Monk Mosaic Set is fabulous!

Neil Young "Live At Massey Hall"
