Steve Goodman - perhaps the very epitome of under-rated, despite the Grammys and covers. I first sought him out since there seemed to be some terrific guitar playing on some of John Prine's records and it turned out to be Steve. A truly extraordinary life, lived as fully as he was able in the time given to him. https://youtu.be/GC4e0XjRW-Q?si=rYhuGGymhIJckARi

This reissued (digitally) Albions live album

https://talkingelephantrecords.bandcamp.com/album/albion-heart-on-tour

Great version of Jewel in the Crown. Had no idea the Albions did that.

I haven't listened to that album for a while, so I'll have to put it on this evening. It's not quite 'my' Albion Band (ie the first I saw) - that was the previous line-up with Ashley Reed instead of Julie Matthews (whatever happened to him?).

Rising For The Moon which I've downloaded from 7digital. It comes with a freebie of the Live at the LA Troubadour 1974 album. You also get a few demos plus an alternative version of Dawn and a live recording of White Dress.

New track from Tony Poole (Starry Eyed & Laughing, Bennett Poole Wilson etc etc)....Faith in Us.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hRjlMe3wxEE

It sounds just like it should of course, and all fans of 12 string jangliness should jump on board but to my ears the lyrics sound, a la everything Neil Young has written this century, a little bit trite? Discuss, or probably don't.

Richard and Linda' s albums

I always enjoy these though the sound quality of the various vinyl editions i have varies rather. Sunmyvista sounds the best of the bunch and side 2 has the better songs . I don't think it's a fan favourite. 🙂
