Stevie Nicks: Bella Donna





This is a good album. I like her voice a lot and I like her storytelling style of songwriting.

Yes, she creates wonderful narratives. 

I can't see your image Todd.  What album were you listening to?

The Mountain Goats, Bleed Out

Don't know them, but thank you for responding.

I didn't either until I listened to this.  So-called "indie rock" (I don't know what that is really), it is inspired by 70s and 80s era action flicks, though not in a heavy way.  Not bad.  This is their 21st album.

Great!

"Sixteen years..." are the opening lyrics of Street Legal, referring to the time from his first album in 1962 to this in 1978.

Its now sixty years since that first album.

Featuring Ice-T because, you know, it had to.

Neil Young: Sugar Mountain





This is my first time to hear this album. It is a live recording made in 1968. It is just Young and his acoustic guitar. I like it a lot but then I tend to like early Young.

Raga Anandi Kalyan performed by Ravi Shankar and Anoushka Shankar.

Fabulous ...

I particularly like his Live at Massey Hall 1971, also in that Archive series, and also solo acoustic:

2 top-notch Neil Young albums I should revisit myself. Great picks.

On the electric side, the Live at Fillmore Archive release is up there too :

Cheers. I have just checked and I do have that. I have not heard it yet.

I definitely have that one too although, once again, I have not heard it.


Plenty in store for me then.

Neil Young - Unplugged

I had my favourite artists before this release (Depeche Mode, Beatles, Clapton, John Lee Hooker, some Dylan) but hearing Mr Soul played by complete chance in the music/CD corner shop of a supermarket deep in Brittany back then opened my ears to the worlds of Americana, Country rock, similar songwriters and many years of listening joys.

Other than some Archives releases mentioned above, I gave up on Neil Young's newer records after 2003's Greendale (incidentally the only time I saw him live was on this tour, obviously a special memory) but there's plenty to go to prior to that when the mood takes me...like now

If I remember correctly I believe that "Comes A Time" was the last Young album that I bought and kept. I have moved a number on in the past.

Tonight's The Night is the newest Neil I own. Except Freedom.

[SimonNZ]

Harvest Moon is an unexpectedly mellow late-night should-be-classic, for any who haven't tried it already

Might even give that another play later today
