A goodly set, methinks.
I really liked both Ismael Lo & Vinceus Cantaria.
I’ve always liked Chris Isaak. His latest album was recorded in the ols Sun studio and he revisits some classics by people like Jerry Lee & Carl Perkins. Really good.
Billy Burnette I also liked and wondered if he’s anything to do with the Burnette dynasty (Johnny, Dorsey, Rocky, Hank C. etc)
Saw Glasvegas on Jools show once and liked them. This is pretty good.
I also really liked Matthew Mayfield who is a new name to me.
Great stuff!

Hadn’t heard of him either until this genius marketing campaign. Cheers for listening.

Liked all of those and the running order made for a good soothing opening with a nice bit of uplift at the end. More coherent response later after a few listens.

Wow! Ismael Lo was a stunner. Definitely the high point for me. Chris Isaak was great too, he does have a great voice. I liked Billy Burnette, Glasvegas and Matthew Mayfield also, all very nice songs.

Nicely put together Zalamanda.

Worse still, the cancer was apparently exacerbated by the congenital bowel condition that his twin brother Maurice also had.

I’ve been humming this all day (not the verses but the chorus), and it’s not even one of the songs I really like. It seems somehow appropriate. I do admire what the BeeGees achieved and he seemed like a nice man. RIP.

I don’t like the BeeGees music at all and I really hate their horrible nasal falsetto voices.

I feel sorry for Robin Gibb and his family though. A very dear friend of mine passed away from colon cancer in March, it is an awful disease.

Ah! Thank you, Tin! All understood.

It’s a splendid song. Shame the fellow wasn’t able to keep up the standards. I usually work on the assumption that, in such cases, the first album was the result of a long fermentation of ideas and the second was an overconfident rush job.

I had far too much time to think about the implications of that blurb.

Yup, very quiet. Is that a tumbleweed?

Ah, yes a bit unclear. I meant how could he write a song this good and not be able to keep it up? I don’t think the first album can be written off as beginners luck – there’s too much craft in it. Maybe they started reading their own press.
