Our copy arrived yesterday.
I agree with all that Boneshaker says.
His non-Nashville mainstream career has produced a series of gems – the brightest of which is Fate’s Right Hand

Seconded.

Here for @NigelT and @Biggles are the identities of my dozen songs.

1 – Steve Miller Band – Brave New World from the album of the same name

2 – Kim Richey – Cowards In A Brave New World from her album […]

Not so much a tip as a comment: not too long after starting a new job, around 2004 I was talking about music with a co-worker. When I was less than enthusiastic about his liking for Jamie Cullum, he suggested that […]

I have written a piece on Dean Owens that is up there and I have submitted a Top 10 for Blue Rodeo which should be appearing there in the next few days.
Thanks for for pointing me towards it Dave.

Thanks @NigelT, I will reveal what’s what very soon.
I thought the artist on track 11 had given up music as she hadn’t released anything since 2011, but she is apparently currently working on a new album.

Oh dear, almost a month after the first reviews were posted, here are mine for the collections by @biggles and @NigelT.
Gentlemen, I prostrate myself before you and crave your forgiveness for my […]

Sorry @NigelT and @Biggles, I have been (unexpectedly) really busy for the last few weeks.
Things have calmed down and I will get the reviews posted soon.
Once again, I apologise for the delay.

I have to correct you there Bamber. Two players have been punished. The first to suffer the indignity was Everton’s Oumar Niasse.
In his case there was contact (with a Palace defender) and he might have gone down […]

Me too. It works perfectly with the song.

When I saw Free (with Andy Fraser on bass) Rodgers played the piano on both Heavy Load and My Brother Jake – the latter I recall followed Heavy Load – introducing it with the words “We’ve got a piano. We might as […]

As piano players go, Paul Rodgers plays in a pretty rudimentary style (no Rick Wakeman he), but there is a solo in Heavy Load off Free’s Fire and Water album.

Thank you chaps.
I have received my disc from @NigelT.
Only one spin so far. The first few sounded as though I should know them, though my mind wasn’t totally focussed as I was trying to capture a mouse (to […]

Department of Correct Vinyl Identification: I think Sir means the 2nd Free album, the first being Tons Of Sobs.

I had a similar experience.
He was playing at The Garage, Islington on a Sunday night. I thought, no I’ve got to get up early, tomorrow. I’ll catch him next time.

Or you can save time and read the answer below.

Solar Power! Really? I guess that image is to suggest that the sun shines out of her arse.
But then I have to ask, did she really have control over the image used there? It’s borderline pornography.

The Jess Rodeo Band recorded a live album, Blowin’, that was half recorded in Leicester and half in Birmingham.
I was at the Birmingham gig, which I have since discovered was their last ever gig.

Because prior to their marriage both his parents bore the surname Hammond, though they were not related.
So Jeffrey thought it would be a spiffing wheeze to double-barrel his name.
I’d like the Hostess trolly please, Twang.

The Go-Betweens are my big regret.
It wasn’t the case that I heard them and dismissed them, their very existence seemed to have passed me by, until years after the first split. I’m sure there must have been […]
