Bonnacons Of Doom - s/t (2018)
After initially finding this a bit weird, it has settled into a good groove in my brain and I can wholeheartedly recommend it. Psych rock, but thoroughly modern without an ounce of retro. Once you get used to the female vocals, it's apparent they're very well done and blend well with the music.
And despite the band name, this bears no relation whatsoever to doom metal.

Rosanne Cash - At The Bottom Line (1988)
What this one lacks in graphic finesse is more than made up for by the quality of Rosanne's performance. Even though she was consistently charting country at the time, her powerful vocals aided by Steuart Smith's fiery guitar show that's she's really a rocker in sheep's clothing.

Antonia de Cabezon - Tientos y Glosados (Ensemble Accentus/Thomas Wimmer)
From Donald and Desi, heading a bit back to this album of works by Cabezon, the blind Spanish renaissance composer and organist. No organ here but some wonderful string and harpsichord pieces.

LL Cool J - BAD: Bigger And Deffer (1987)
Listening to the audiobook of "Def Jam, Inc" and hearing the descriptions of how the artists joined the label, recorded and toured, and such, really made me want to sometimes just stop the book and listen to the albums. Now that I've finished the book, it's time to revisit some of the music. This is first up.
Why is this first? IDK. James is mentioned often and he's one of the few artists the book sort of follows from his discovery though the final year covered in the book. And also because I rarely listen to LL much these days, so this is overdue.

Oscar Peterson - At The Concertgebouw (1957)
Wonderful live set by the Trio
The Concertgebouw as many here know is in Amsterdam
The music here, interestingly, is live from Chicago (with some later tracks live from L.A. at The Shrine). It matters not one bit (but could embarrass you if you mix it up in discussions with your jazzbo friends
) - strong stuff 
Hey, I guess I could've/should've put this on the Ol' Excursion Thread
