You guys got me searching for my Jeff Buckley "Grace" album. No trace of it on the shelves, either on LP or CD. Ah... It's on Qobuz... BTW, I'm a big fan of Tim Buckley, the dad Jeff supposedly hated. Still have Tim's LPs. Maybe I mentioned this before on this site but I saw Tim once at the Troubadour. He was awful. ...Into his full-blown nonstop screaming faze.
If there was only ONE album/cd/release you can listen to, over and over.............
Your " best ever " recording, which has likely been discussed ad nauseam, would you select, say, if given a choice of only one ( whatever the scenario would be; stranded on an island, locked up in isolation, all music gone, but this one ). As hard as this is, as there are so many to choose from, I have selected " A Tribute To Jack Johnson ", by the esteemed Miles Davis ( 1992 Columbia version ). I have selected this, specifically for the performances, as I do with all of my listening. The playing.....the musicianship.....the arrangement.....the story, set to music, by the esteemed M.D.. And, my system delivers the message, so I feel proud of my set up. What can I say ? I hope everyone well, and, ENJOY ! Always, MrD.

I was going to go with Selling England, but @arthur1954 beat me to it. So I’ll go with Cat Stevens’ Tea for the Tillerman; it never gets old. |
Some nice choices made... As stated, very difficult to decide, and many choices came to mind. These were chosen not only because they are loved, but they also are associated to experiences in my life that were extraordinary. Rather than outright cheat the OP's rule, my end run is to let chance decide. I'd take a single six-sided die, roll and accept the result. 1. Jethro Tull : Bursting Out 2. Beatles: White Album 3. Cocteau Twins: Blue Bell Knoll 4. Genesis: Seconds Out 5. Fishbone: Reality of my Surroundings 6. Altan: Harvest Storm |
