Nunquam non paratus
Not knowing of this artist, I searched for information.
Surprise! I do know of him. It's Abdullah Ibrahim.

Old habits die hard. If you look through my record library, you will find him under B just as you will find Cat Stevens under S. And don’t bother searching the index for Wendy Carlos.

The Nuns - The Nuns (1980)
Vinyl Spin of the Day.
First wave San Francisco punkers, featuring Jennifer Miro as a more aggressive Debbie Harry, Alejandro Escovedo in his recording debut and Jeff Olener. Legend (well, actually Wiki) has it that Escovedo and Olener as film students wanted to make a low-budget film about a strung-out rock singer and a band that could not play its instruments, and then decided to play the parts themselves. High energy and highly enjoyable.

Connie Smith - By Request (1995)
Two years after the release of her live album from Branson, Connie went back into a Nashville studio to record this record for her fan club. No musicians are credited, but they sound like the top A-Team players. The ten songs clock in at less than 30 minutes, but there is a nice blend of the familiar hits ("Once A Day" again) with wisely chosen covers like "The Key's In The Mailbox". Connie is in fine voice, and after all, a little Connie is far better than no Connie at all.

Fleetwood Mac - Tusk (1979, Special Edition 2015)
Like almost everyone else, I was rather unimpressed when this one came out. But Tusk only pales in comparison to its two legendary predecessors. On its own, this is a highly enjoyable album, less hooky and more eclectic. The 3 CD "Special Edition" contains the remastered album, a disc of "Singles, Outtakes, Sessions" and "The Alternate Tusk", a revelatory doppelganger of the album composed entirely of unissued demos.
on the Sam-O-Meter. Tusk even writes its own capsule review: I Know I'm Not Wrong, That's Enough For Me. Never Forget.

It's funny how music from other realities are still available here.
