A different album for her. Chris Isaak wrote some songs and she moved to Nashville.

Kowloon Walled City - Gambling on the Richter Scale

Such a classic; I was fortunate to have picked up a clear copy of the Gilead reissue this year. I have to admit that the last album of theirs, Grievances, was something of a disappointment. And Turk St. blows them all away!

If you open yourself up too much, your brain will fall out.

Yeah, according to my grandma. But, she rode on dinosaurs.

Gilad Hekselman - Hearts Wide Open _2011_

I'm sold. Must listen.

 

[axolotl]

I think I should listen to that.

Yes, plus a hearty, hi-ho, me-too on this one.

Artie Shaw - More Last Recordings (rec. 1954, comp. 1993)

Artie Shaw hung up his clarinet abruptly in 1954, saying "There comes a time when you say 'wait a minute, I've done about all I can do with this.'" His final recorded performances here belie that dire assessment. These songs were made for Verve with a small group that included Hank Jones, Tal Falow and Joe Roland. They show his ability to adapt to modern trends including bop without surrendering his integrity.

Bruce Springsteen - Tower Theater, Philadelphia 1975

Beck - Morning Phase (2014)



There's a feel to this album that's like playing an 8-track in your rig at the truck stop in 1973.

Very cool. Where were you in 1973?
