David Bowie: Ouvrez Le Chien (Live Dallas 95)

David Bowie Ouvrez Le Chien (Live Dallas 95) Parlophone UK The gates are wide open now, the David Bowie reissues and new releases are pouring. Some are very, very boring. Some didn’t need to happen. But there are some gems – of course. There’s gold in the vault, and probably a bit more to come […]

Gregg Allman Lonely Day In L.A. (Complete KMET-FM Broadcast From 6th November 1974) Smokin’ Badger There’s really no denying that Gregg Allman was the great voice of southern rock – he had a white boy blues thing that was never cloying, didn’t feel like anything more than it was: A natural talent singing his soul […]

Carpenters: The Road To Yesterday (Live 1974)

Carpenters The Road To Yesterday (Live 1974) Stiletto Discs The Carpenters worked themselves non-stop. They were a hard-touring band on account of all the hits they had. That’s how it worked.

Billy Bruner: Billy Bruner

Billy Bruner Billy Bruner Athens of the North There’s so much music from the 1980s – there’s so much music everywhere, from all over and all the time, it floods in and feels impossible to get through.

Nina Simone: Fodder On My Wings [Reissue]

Nina Simone Fodder On My Wings [Reissue] Verve Though Nina Simone’s very fine Baltimore was a wonderful ‘comeback’ album (in 1978) – and the biggest seller of her career.
