David Bowie: ★

David Bowie ★ Columbia It is a great record, Bowie’s latest – and final – album. And it’s fair enough to buy it and hang on to it for the time-capsule, just because. But getting a fair review of it was never going to be easy – even before he died (just days after its […]

The Vinyl Countdown # 1310

David Bowie, Stage (1978) You know I only got hip to this album when it was reissued on CD a wee while back now, maybe 10 years ago or so. I hadn’t heard it before then. I knew a lot of the material, obviously, but not these versions. I had plenty of David Bowie albums […]

The Vinyl Countdown # 1426

David Bowie, Low (1977) I can’t remember when I first heard this – but it was somewhat late in the piece. I’d heard loads of other David Bowie albums and compilations before I got to this. By the time I got to this in fact I’d heard all about it, read about it, knew about […]

The Vinyl Countdown # 1571

 Robert Plant, Band Of Joy (2010) I love the journey that Robert Plant is on with (his) music. Here that journey involves Patty Griffin and Buddy Miller (I’d buy any album that had them on it anyway). There are two Low covers and renditions of songs by Richard Thompson and Los Lobos. This album is […]

The Vinyl Countdown # 1866

Low & Dirty Three, In The Fishtank 7 (2001) I don’t get that many music-related presents. Hardly anyone ever buys me records or CDs or DVDs. And fair enough I guess. I’m not saying I expect them – but if someone wants to get me a gift they should take a punt on an album […]
