Irish rock. Was hoping this would be as boss as their "Stomp Stomp Stomp" 45, which is like loud-dumb glam perfection, but it's generally mellower.

Moses Sumney,græ: Holy Moly, may well be ultimate-so-far Alternative R&B, although I hear he hates being called any kind of R&B, too limiting, but here are the trope (also some nice folkoid strumming etc), in lengthy yet fleet sequence, tracks of morphadelic momentum---did start wishing for more vocal variety toward the end, but overall he got me right way. Def liking him better than Frank Ocean.

Er, "here are the *tropes*" is what I meant, was thinking of "These are the breaks."

1973 live recordings by Sanders and a few others, includes one studio track.
Great show of ensemble playing.
I got the copy before teh Universal Sound 2013 version so am I missing anything. That came with a hardcover described asa book so I'm wondering if it had much in the way of contents or if it was just the hard gatefold format.
THis sounds great but has little in the way of linernotes beyond the personnel.

Anadolu rock band. Pretty good, been hoping to get the 2 cds for a while and wound up finding the 2 of the early 70s ones on Rockadrome for a good price.

Great jazz vocalist with some things verging on the free but overall rooted in something more traditional. She covers the Mongo Santamaria title track and a few other standards including Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head.
I've been waiting for a while to get a copy of this. but Mr Bongo put out a cheap reissue about a month ago. Very nice.

Ruth Copeland Gimme Shelter: The Invictus Sessions

there are two or three really solid tunes on the first album but there's also so much kinda risible sad pop, but the 2nd half is backloaded w/jams.

Lots of social commentary, incl. field reports or simulation of same, and editorialing, as expected---but most of the music pulled me into the whole news-bluesoid alt americana rock experience immediately---and *back* in when distraction of screen beckoned---awright:https://drivebytruckers.bandcamp.com/album/the-unraveling

editor-i-al-izing!

Under pressure of atmosphere, memories, incl. of present and future, spooky and urgent----music more varied after "Running With Our Eyes Closed," calmer but still insidious, words finding their way in---"St. Peter's Autograph,", hmmm--but I get some of 'em right away, esp the one about sober life incl. dreams about drinking, a couple nights a week now, like, "I had one glass of wine, woke up feelin' fine,and that's how I knew it was a dream," but some are rougher, like the even realer-seeming dream of calling in sick to treat yourself down town--you deserve it, self, you been real good for so long---"It gets easier, but never easy, " why have I never heard a song about this must-be-fairly-common experience before? So far, Reunions seems like one of his most sustained achievements in quite a while:
