2016: a new year for music....

With all of the music icons leaving us lately, we need some new music for a new year. Here's one I'm enjoying....Aoife O'Donovan "In The Magic Hour". Any others?

I noticed this new lp was dedicated to her father, Miller Williams. I wasn't aware of his passing. While I haven't listened to it all the way through, it does seem more introspective so far.

I just got my new Lucinda Williams also.  Need to clean it and give it a listen.

Also just got the 4 Non Blondes on Music on Vinyl on orange vinyl and the really cool black and white splatter vinyl of The Commitments soundtrack.

I'm enjoying the Lucinda LP, but am not quite convinced that Bill Frisell is net positive with unvarnished Lucinda.  The album is over-polished in the typical Frisell way-- he is more of a jazzman than a bluesman-- with occasional tugs-of-war between she & him for the stage. There are several moments where she seems to accede and walk off.  In any case, a strong and well-recorded album.

Looking forward to the new M. Ward and also to the Iggy/Josh Homme duo.  They did well live on Colbert.

bdp24, FWIW, Gurf Morlix started playing with Lucinda in '85.  I know she was playing in Austin in '75 or, at the latest, '76.
