Been on a bit of an Americana trip this week, largely due to some £3 Warners CD bargains at a well known record store chain:

Little Feat 'Feats Don't Fail Me Now', 'The Last Record Album' and 'Dixie Chicken'
Neil Young & Crazy Horse 'Psychedelic Pill'
Dave Brubeck Quartet 'Bossa Nova U.S.A.'
Emmylou Harris 'Luxury Liner' and 'Quarter Moon In A Ten Cent Town'
ZZ Top 'Tres Hombres' and 'Fandango'
Gene Clark 'No Other'
Love 'Love', 'Da Capo' and 'Four Sail' (my, how underrated is the last named)
Ry Cooder 'Ry Cooder' and 'Boomer's Story'

Emphatically not American: Caravan 'Live At Shepherds Bush Empire 8/10/11' (in preparation for their Sage gig next Saturday: can't wait); and
Brian Eno 'Apollo', 'Ambient 4: On Land' and 'Lux' - which is a late contender for my album of 2012.

Also immersed myself in the wonderfully indulgent 20CD box of recordings of Stravinsky's 'Le Sacre du Printemps' issued by Universal to commemorate the 100th anniversary of its riotous premiere. Particularly gripping were Minneapolis SO/Antal Dorati (Mercury, 1953), LSO/Colin Davis (Philips, 1963) and BPO/Bernard Haitink (Philips, 1995). I'm going to have a lot of fun with this in the coming months.

Happy New Year, and week, dear friends.

Dave
