@bslon i'm not a big joe jackson guy (he's a vg musician but a lousy singer), but "big world" is one of the best-sounding recordings you'll hear. also the rare live album which has only new songs (jackson browne's is the only other one to come to mind). my picks: pg six, starry mind--really good, richard thompsonish folkrocky/jammy stuff the neats, crash at crush--genuinely great singer + the songs are mostly there scenic, acquatica--guitar-instro music which sometimes drifts off into the ozone, but they always have beautiful album covers

@loomisjohnson I agree on Big World’s SQ, and you wouldn’t know it’s a live recording as the invited audience is silent. The music was mixed live from microphones on each musical instrument, then sent directly to a two track stereo digital tape recorder. It’s a double album but side 4 is blank, made for CD. BTW, your picks… nice. |
