Neil Diamond - Hot August Night. If ever there was a live album that conveyed real emotion, a perfect analogue recording and a brilliant performance by all musicians, then this is it. It still stuns me every time I hear it. And I have been listening to since I was a kid - and that's a LONG time ago.

Neil captured at his best IMO

He just does his own thing. Kim Kardashian is secretly jealous that someone could be that famous without taking a selfie every 15 minutes.....

![[Image: 220px-FlowersDirtCover.jpg]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:FlowersDirtCover.jpg) PAUL McCARTNEY "flowers in the dirt" cd, 1989 sixteenth post Beatle set for Macca... Elvis Costello co-wrote several tracks here (the remainder appeared on Elvis' "spike")… first time Macca used his Hoffner Bass since the early Beatle days thanks to persistence from Costello who also encouraged Macca not to dismiss his past by refusing to record songs that sounded like Beatles and it shows... lots of Beatle-esque songs here from soft rock through to acoustic songs and ballads... a welcome return to form after his wishy-washy period after 1982's classic Tug Of War... I LOVE THIS ALBUM from the album the second single:

![[Image: 220px-The_Beatles_1_album_cover.jpg]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:The_Beatles_1_album_cover.jpg) BEATLES "1" cd, 2000 career spanning compilation, contains all of their UK singles releases 1962-1970 and it has been put together in chronological release order, that way its easy to hear their progression from Love Me Do through the Sgt Peppers era and on to the MOR Soft Rock of their final singles... a great starting place for any youngster wanting to know what these guys were about... a classy affair of possibly (arguably) twenty-seven of the greatest singles of the rock/pop era... this album was the biggest selling album in the world in the decade 2000-2010 with in excess of thirty million sales... I LOVE THIS ALBUM thought i'd pick one that is often overlooked in the Beatles songbook for linking this time round:

![[Image: 51I-NaHCIAL._AC_UY218_.jpg]](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51I-NaHCIAL._AC_UY218_.jpg) FOREIGNER "the platinum collection" cd, 1999: one of rock's finest bands IMO... with one of rock's finest frontmen in Lou Gramm also... superb collection of hit singles here and listening reminded me just how good a singles band they actually were back in the day... album contains a couple of Lou's solo singles also... nothing to dislike here, plenty to like or love though... I LOVE THIS ALBUM my favourite single of theirs is actually a Lou Gramm solo single:

I LIKE THIS ALBUM

Graham Nash - Wild Tales
![[Image: 220px-Graham_nash_wild_tales.jpg]](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/a/ac/Graham_nash_wild_tales.jpg/220px-Graham_nash_wild_tales.jpg) An album I hadn't heard before, although I've heard some of the songs. Hmmm - will have to listen again some time. He's never bad - a good songwriter, just some of his other stuff has more overall appeal IMHO. Crosby by his side on a couple of tracks, which always helps - they were brilliant together, David Lindley here and there, Dave Mason on one, ditto Joni Mitchell, and Joe Yankee (aka Neil Young) on another.

![[Image: 220px-Traffic-John_Barleycorn_Must_Die_%...ver%29.jpg]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Traffic-John_Barleycorn_Must_Die_(album_cover).jpg) TRAFFIC "John Barleycorn must die", cd, 1970: the band's fourth... how does "jazz-rock" sound for this album?... lots of jazz influences here... I notice the original album only has six tracks, my cd has five bonus tracks, a live one and several previously unreleased tunes... struggling to find a best track here, not because its bad, just the opposite in fact, its superb, I LOVE THIS ALBUM, its not very often (if ever) that I pick an instrumental track but on this occasion I feel it is totally justified as it sums up the sound of the whole album, plus, I DO love it!
