Okay apart from TLOG which I truly love I've been listening to these albums constantly this year:-
COME AWAY WITH ME ~ NORAH JONES Lovely voice. Reminds me of my time in New York where I got it in the summer. Nice evening music. ELI & THE THIRTEENTH CONFESSION (remaster) ~ LAURA NYRO Such a revealation. I can't believe she's so unknown. What a voice and I love those tempo changes. She can do really happy songs and then extremly sad songs. Can't wait to get New York Tandenberry. LAND (1975-2002) PATTI SMITH Okay so I still haven't given it as much of a listen as I think it deserves but from what I have listened to is verry good. Free money really stands out so far. NIGHT ON MY SIDE ~ GEMMA HAYES She has only just begun! Slow burning but timeless. Plays in altered tunings too! I've seen her live twice (is there anybody better live). The second time in Brighton her support act was Sondre Lerche who really wowed me. I've heard the albums production (FACES DOWN) is bad though. Anybody got it? SCARLET'S WALK ~ TORI AMOS Wow! What a return to form. I love this album all the way through to the 18th track. 'I Can't See New York' is very touching. One of her best or maybe even just her best album yet! STEVE
