Heaven Up Here - E&TB
I know it is widely considered to be a bit po-faced but I am very fond of this record. Shows how much Bono & co owe them.

Springsteen - Born to Run
Yes it was hyped within an inch of its life and yes the British music media were very sniffy about it (and the hype around him) at the time but musically this is a studio masterpiece. The little details in the arrangements are in the Wilson/Spector class. Shame some of the lyrics are so idiotic. This "Darkness" and "Nebraska" are the only Springsteen I ever listen to. "Darkness" box set coming this winter. Which, despite my aversion to major label (and especially Sony) gouge-the-public strategies, looks like it might be a must-have.

Seems like I am not alone in having a bit of a folkie week. Must be the creeping dread of Autumn.

Shirley Collins - The Power Of The True Love Knot
Fovea Hex - 3 eps
Paddie Bell (and various Fureys) - I Know Where I Am Going
Martin Carthy - s/t
Fairports - Sloth (BBC Recording 1970, sounds like Marquee Moon)
Roy Harper - Folkjokeopus
Michael Chapman - Fully Qualified Survivor
Battlefield Band - The Road Of Tears
June Tabor - Angel Tiger
Albion Band - Rise Up Like The Sun
Lal Waterson & Oliver Knight - Once In A Blue Moon
Dolores Keane -There Was a Maid
Davy Spillane - Atlanitc Bridge
Bothy Band - After Hours

Miles - The Complete Birth of the Cool on Blue Note
Miles - The Silent Way Sessions Box Set
