And for what's happening now on the jazz scene, check out Emmet Cohen and his various lineups and projects. Wonderful musicians.

Bruce Springsteen - NEBRASKA - the only one of his albums that I own.
Back in 1982 I spent a few months in Strasbourg. I spent a lot of time in those months walking around the city wearing my Walkman headphones playing this beautiful album.
Recorded on a Tascam 144 four track cassette recorder. The Nebraska album was very inspirational for me and when I returned home later that year I bought the same machine and got serious about writing and recording my own music.

Shine On Michael Hi Michael Great record. Glad it, and the way it was recorded, was so inspiring to you. More innocent times, but being able to carry music around on headphones like that was liberating back in those days. I remember the irony of opening up the album and the inner sleeve had the ‘Home Taping is Killing Music’ slogan on the generic inner sleeve. 😀 Some of the best albums I’ve ever heard were made on simple (by today’s standards) recording equipment. Best wishes Andy

Hi all Not one of his most famous albums, but I’ve been giving this record from the mid-1990s by Jackson Browne a spin: ‘Looking East’. The album itself suffers from following on from ‘I’m Alive’ which is arguably the last great album he produced. It does however, contain several decent tracks. ‘The Barricades of Heaven’ is a classic. Cheers Andy

....And while we're on the subjects of Bruce and Glastonbury, this was a superb show.
This one's alright too

Hi there !
I keep going back to this song/version, by Rev Boyd Rivers. First heard it back in 1990, on a VHS tape I bought (of a 1979 Mississippi Blues Festival), when I was on my 1st trip to London, after 1st Year at Uni. (Virgin or HMV, can’t remember now !). I was in London (summer, 1990) to see John Lee Hooker at the Hammersmith Odeon (John Hammond Jr, solo, was the support act !). I think this video was the best part of the trip down there :

Shine On Michael Michael I’m not a big Springsteen fan but the only albums of his that I own (and love) are NEBRASKA and GHOST OF TOM JOAD. You should check out that album, I think you’d like it.

You should check out that album, I think you’d like it. Hi Michael While I don’t own a copy of The Ghost of Tom Joad, I do know it quite well, as a friend of mine used to play it to me. It is a fine album, as are many other Springsteen albums, I just never really got into his recorded music. Nebraska just jumped into my Walkman one day in the FNAC record store in Strasbourg. His live shows are amazing events I like these threads where we talk about music, rather than just guitars. Shine On Michael

This weekend I have been listening to Charlie Parr's "Midnight Has Come & Gone" a lot on repeat while I walk the dog.
It's a dark song. I may have been watching too many episodes of Unsolved Mysteries and Forensic Files lately.

Otis....
This is an amazing video. Never seen it before. Outside Phil Walden's empire.

This is a beautiful track from a wonderful album. Steve Earle, Iris Dement and the Del McCoury Band, with Jerry Douglas on Dobro.
The album "The Mountain" was recorded in 1999 and is well worth hearing.

Today was a Charlie Patton morning for me. Specifically BANTY ROOSTER BLUES.... one of the first slide songs I ever learned via Stefan Grossman.
(He spelled it C-H-A-R-L-I-E not Charley like the record labels did).
