Yes. Linda’s version of I’m a Dreamer is magnificent.

That’s beautiful. That’s a big help you posting it as I was looking for that track to put on my Spotify Playlist Project and couldn’t find it under Linda Thompson. Dreams Fly Away not on there, but have now found […]

I like Linda’s solo albums a lot
Fashionably Late (2002)
Versatile Heart (2007)
Won’t Be Long Now (2013)
plus her earlier compilation Dreams Fly Away and a salute to the Music Hall live theatre night […]

This was always my fave Kool and the Gang Track, v uplifting. Straight Ahead.

It was no reverie, duc, I have just located it via Google. Turns out he is a big Jazz and blues fan too and Marion Montgomery and Laurie Holloway were friends and would always come and perform at his New Year’s Eve parties.

Ta!

Greatly appreciated. Good vibes extremely welcome.

Many thanks, will go and look it up while link still exists.

Yes that really needs strings and horns, Fenton, without them it would be pretty sappy, hardly any of a tune to speak of.

Yes there is something about her Christmas albums that are sublime, Moose. But surely you must know Underneath the Stars?! That is one of my going-to-be-on-my-Spotify-lists-just-not-sure-which-list-yet.

Many thanks Tig!

There are a lot of songs on the Boys Don’t Cry covers album I like, Colin, especially Neil Young’s Man Needs a Maid. I do agree that her material isn’t always great, esp In Colour. I haven’t really heard her […]

Thanks a lot, Steve. Good to know you really like Carolina cover too. I must say I found Manic Monday a bit irritating even at the start. I think that song just works better in the original.

Many thanks, Gary. The worst bit of scans for me is the cannulation beforehand (dreadful veins) and the scanxiety waiting for results afterwards. The actual scan I don’t mind! (Unless it’s MRI ones which are long […]

Deepest sympathy to you, Alan on losing your wife and so suddenly. Thoughts are with you and your family.

I haven’t heard much new because there doesn’t seem to have been a lot released but Nashville Tears by […]

The line from Bob Dylan’s Don’t Think Twice It’s All Right “You just kinda wasted my precious time” always seemed particularly nasty and arrogant. And you can include the whole of Randy Newman’s Short […]

In 7 by Lukas Graham
“Once I was eleven years old my daddy told me
Go get yourself a wife or you’ll be lonely
Once I was eleven years old”

A parent encouraging child marriage is not good!

Welcome back Moose! This occasion definitely calls for a jolly Welcome Back Song

Welcome back, to that same old place that you laughed about
Well the names have all changed since you hung around
But those dreams […]

Another of my chilly favourites is Laurel by Goldfrapp. The whole of the album Tales of Us is similar in temperature ( and also brilliant.)

Ooh that is lovely and very cooling I agree, Sal.
