Isaac Hayes doing Walk On By on Hot Buttered Soul fits the bill and, even though its not a solo as such, I do like Roxy Music’s long intro to Manifesto.

Obviously the selection to choose from is massive and impossible but I’ve gone for this little gem just because… well, Levon’s singing it for a kickoff.

I feel the need…

#1 Record – Big Star
Pop perfection from a troubled band with a dodgy record deal on a doomed label. Radio City was great, the third album had it’s moments but the debut had the wow factor.
The ultimate […]

Taj Mahal does a great version of Freight Train. He could probably do a whole album of train songs. Here he is doing She Caught The Katy live. Union Pacific Railroad’s famous Katy Flyer being the fast train to St. Louis.

New Delhi Freight Train. Better known by Little Feat but I believe this is the original from Terry Allen and boy does it kick bottom. PLAY IT LOUD.

The Seven Deaths Of Evelyn Hardcastle by Stuart Turton having also recently read his The Devil And The Dark Water. Turton does like a dense plot that keeps you guessing throughout.

Barry White Stripes

Fat Larry Cooder’s Band

The Pretty Kinks

Sad news. Always my favourite reggae artist. This is my track choice.

Will watch US Open Tennis Women’s Final tonight – Osaka vs Azarenka. Looks like being a cracker.
Sundays mean a Women’s Super League match live on BBC red button or sports website. I’ve been following women’s […]

OK, if you insist… Lucinda Williams.

I listened to Diane Setterfield’s Once Upon A River on Audible. A superbly conceived tale brilliantly read by Juliet Stevenson.

I have total empathy for your A.O.B.
