That Damn Sasquatch ~ Sing My Song (2016)



Bluegrass, Zydeco

 

[Old Uncle Toe]

Lynda Kay - Black and Gold



She's a delightful singer. Her previous album "Dream My Darling" was a retro-country effort which had her rightfully compared to Patsy Cline. This is a double-album of "original and cover songs crossing such genres as early 60’s mid-century jazz and classic Bacharach pop to 70’s roots-rock and Memphis-soul." Her voice is still delightful in this, but she gets a little buried in the production and I just prefer her in that retro-country style.

Cavern Of Anti-Matter - Void Beats/Invocation Trex (2016)

 

[axolotl]

Kilowatthours ~ All Things Regarding (1999)



One of my three favorite EPs, ever.

P. S. The remark above does not mean that I want you to listen to it, though.

Does this guy know how to party on a Friday evening, or what?

ETA: I was referring to me, but if you know how Henryk Mikołaj Górecki parties, or even how his name is pronounced, please feel free to reply.

Various Artists- Talvin Singh Presents: Anokha- Soundz of the Asian Underground (1997)


Trippy, Asian music is just what my ears crave this morning. Might just need to break out the Bangra after this.

Hello Seahorse! ~ Hoy a las Ocho (2008)



Twee Pop, Latin Alternative

When I said that another EP was one of my three favorite EPs of all time, I had forgotten about this one.

For the record then, I have four favorite EPs. Then again, they're all on CD. So, I guess it's all off-the-record, after all.
