Non-Classical Music Listening Thread!

[Pohjolas Daughter]

Been having a fine time listening to Ray Charles the last few days (though my slim-box version of the set doesn't have the cool phonograph, etc....

I noticed on Classic Select's website that they talked about an old Christmas album of his which they said was out of print for some time and is now available.

It's one of the better, maybe best, holiday albums by an established artist. I'd put it along side Mahalia Jackson's and Ella Fitzgerald's. It's easy to get schmaltzy with holiday music, but not here.

Françoise Hardy – Comment Te Dire Adieu.

Not sure if I've asked you this already, but do you know her album La Question?

[SimonNZ]

Still play "This Is The Day" and "Uncertain Smile" from that fairly regularly.

Yes, nice album with some solid compositions.
Today's listen.

In its audio cassette format.

Played it using this beautiful beast:



It's massive and durable enough to double as a personal protection device.  Smack someone upside the head with this, and down they go.

Ethel Cain - Preacher's Daughter


and free-associating to say that exploring the outtakes from Springsteen's Nebraska album I heard a really interesting one called "Preacher's Daughter":
