Bat For Lashes: The Boys of Summer (Live at EartH, London, 2019)

Bat For Lashes The Boys of Summer (ep) Bat For Lashes I’ve long been a fan of covers that go deep beyond anything resembling a ‘novelty factor’; covers where the artist (always a gifted songwriter of course) takes apart a classic track and rebuild it, not to make it better but simply to better understand […]

The 1001 Albums Challenge # 60: Earth, Wind & Fire – “That’s The Way Of The World”

There are some bands you know about, you like – maybe you’d even say you love them – but all you know is the Greatest Hits album, or the big singles. And for me Earth, Wind & Fire is a great example of this. I’ve known about them my whole life – I’m sure my […]

Neil Young + Promise of the Real: Earth

Neil Young + Promise of the Real Earth Reprise/Warners Good ole, weird ole Neil – he’s nothing if not that happy-hippie that’s forever ornery-seeming,  wilful and whim-following, he’s a bag of contradictions – so it makes sense, as only it could in Neil’s world, to give up a life-long love of marijuana smoking and then […]

The Vinyl Countdown # 1440

The Pharaohs, In The Basement (1972) I’m always baffled when people read my blog posts and tell me I’m out of date, out of touch, as if a music-blog, or music-blogging is meant to – only – be about what’s new and not quite out (in most cases that’s just writing about what’s not quite […]

The Vinyl Countdown # 1721

V/A, We Can Work It Out: Covers & Cookies of Lennon, McCartney & The Beatles (2005) This double LP of Beatles covers features funk and soul and R’n’B and there are reggae-tinged and jazz trace-around covers too. One of my favourites was always Ike and Tina Turner doing Come Together. And of course that great […]
