Oud, piano, accordion. Stunningly beautiful.

Several times, I've almost bought that for the cover alone. I need to listen to it to see if I should seal the deal.

Really been enjoying this one too

Saw Jason Isbell Friday - great concert. Band was tight. He played several songs off this one. Threw in a few Drive-by-Truckers ones too (good version of "Decoration Day"). Didn't know much of Isbell's solo stuff before, but was definitely drawn to a number of songs. Love how live music can elevate some songs that one might not have really paid attention to prior. He did a song "Codeine", I believe, from his first album with the 400 Unit - it's a song one might easily pass over on first listen, but the live version really drew me in.

Al Green - I'm Still In Love With You (1972)

Listening to the cool guitar on "Love and Happiness", looked at the album credits on Wiki - Teenie Hodges is the soul guitarist on many of Al Green's peak albums as well as accompanying many Hi Record artists like Syl Johnson, Ann Peebles, O.V. Wright, etc. Songwriting credits include "Take Me To The River" and "Here I Am (Come and Take Me).

Interesting connection: Hodges was the uncle of hip hop artist Drake

Cat Stevens- Tea for the Tillerman (1970)


This album is the aural equivalent of comfort food for me. As soon as I put it on, I am instantly transported to one of my happy places and happy times (Twin Lakes in the Poconos, early 1970s, if you must know). If only the CD could come with the pops and crackle of old vinyl.
