RE: What Are You Listening To? - CRAZY-HORSE - 06-03-2022 ELVIS PRESLEY "his hand in mine" vinyl/cd, 1960. his fifth studio album but first "songs of praise" album... not his first venture into Gospel territory as he did release an "ep" in 1957 called "peace in the valley", so his musical influences and loves were well known back then... a masterclass of the genre for sure, every song is brilliant IMO from the solemn piano ballads to the rambunctious Gospel singalongs... love the backing vocals from The Jordanaires whose sound certainly enhanced Presley's tracks to a different level. I LOVE THIS ALBUM the title track: and one of the more uptempo Gospel sing-a-long foot-tappers...

Don't like most of their stuff but the track I posted is haunting. I like a couple of Enya tracks here and there but she can get a bit repetitive. RE: What Are You Listening To? - JeromeD - 06-09-2022 One of my faves - https://youtu.be/oTY3BE1hSO8 Ruby you need to get this album. I am convinced you will enjoy it. A lady friend of mine bought me this for my birthday many moons ago. Excellent album. RE: What Are You Listening To? - JeromeD - 26-09-2022 Today's pick - three masters together - https://youtu.be/qNhSMkleIAA RE: What Are You Listening To? - Ruby - 26-09-2022 (06-09-2022, 09:02)JeromeD Wrote: One of my faves - https://youtu.be/oTY3BE1hSO8 Thanks for the recommendation Jerome. I will seek it out. Listened to the excerpts I could find - definitely enjoyed what I heard! RE: What Are You Listening To? - CRAZY-HORSE - 26-09-2022 ^^ i know the track Zakir, a lovely piece of music IMO RE: What Are You Listening To? - CRAZY-HORSE - 21-12-2022 KING STINGRAY "king stingray" 2022 from one of the EOY "best of" lists... Aussie indi-rock band... debut album... Indigenous band incorporating both traditional Aboriginal instruments with accepted rock instruments... also flits between englinsh language and their traditional dialect in the songs so World Music is where it sits most comfortably IMO... nothing bad on here but a lot of it i simply do not understand. I LIKE THIS ALBUM lead off single: cool in-studio live version: RE: What Are You Listening To? - CRAZY-HORSE - 29-01-2023 BOB MARLEY & THE WAILERS "catch a fire" cd, 1973 their fifth studio album... first on "island records" and first from my new box set of his "island records" albums... first album to chart anywhere also (#171 US)... had a single from the album too, Stir It Up, but that failed to chart yet we all know it... typical reggae sounds on here, but what else is there, reggae only has one sound and when it evolves it becomes UB40 pop... the first two tracks were pretty weak IMO but it was all uphill after that it was surprisingly good... I LIKE THIS ALBUM after a first up listen this one was my favourite tune: |
