Listening to.......

 i like it, Alan, but i sometimes feel that Jack's music too often takes refuge in generic Black Sabbath-isms, however brief they might be. Still, I DO like it!

 New single from Jack Sharp's band The Thorn. Psychedelic folk-rock, man!

This is good.  

I really rate that - excellent.  What do we know of Naomi Randall?

 I think she's excellent. Try this?

Nick Drake :  The Making of Five Leaves Left   (Island 4LP,  2025).

Only the second  time  i've played this right through, and i know now it was a sound investment.
 The album of course i'm familiar with - if you listen to an LP at intervals for 50 years that's how if goes. But what this box gives us  is a sense of Nick the artist at his best, and a  full, complex person.  Scant though  they are, there are moments when he speaks  in the studio, even laughs occasionally, though not without reserve.
 It sounds cliched i know  but  his really is a tale of the tragic decline and loss . We must be grateful for what he left for us

 I should investigate that. Thanks Alan

It's not an inexpensive item but it's been well received by fans.
