I used to be a big Mary Chapin Carpenter fan, but haven't enthused about any of her releases since 'The calling' in 2006. I saw both her and Gretchen Peters within months of each other, in Worthing, a few years ago, and was disappointed that I enjoyed Gretchen Peters so much more. I can pay MCC no greater compliment than to say that she sounds like Springsteen in drag on this track, 'On with the song'. 'It must have happened' and 'Your life story', all from 'The Calling' album, in my opinion, are equally as good.

Mary Chaplin Carpenter = Passionate Kisses = the greatest American songstress Lucinda Williams

Where others lead I clearly seem to be following at the moment but I make no apology for following lasvegan's inclusion of Lucinda Williams. I finally got to see her live in July 2019 at The Dome and I wasn't disappointed - amazing songwriter, amazing voice and tight tight band behind her - all attributes than can be seen in this clip live from Austin, Tx

Well after his days with The Damned 1982.

Thank you so much for letting me know that. I had no idea what a prolific musician he was/is (must get his book now!)

I actually remember Bast*rd from growing up in Creepy. I cannot over emphasize how truly shocking a band name that was back then!

Here's one for International Women's Day

[Ooh it’s a corner]

I think I may have posted this before on another thread but in support of the MCC and LW love-in here’s the two of them together - tragic lyric, beautiful harmonies, stunning all-round imo

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

A very old track by AATT for today. Been listening to them all day as I do my marking.

Had the Steptoe and Son theme on my 11am funeral, made the whole congregation laugh out loud and reminded me of great times with my Grandparents.

[Super Steve Earle]

Heard this lovely song on Later which I just caught up from Friday. The warm sound reminds me of a mixture of Labi Siffre and Cat Stevens.

 

[Prince Monolulu]

Happy IWD.

Doesn't get much better than that, does it ?

Yes, International Womens Day - This ones in a dark place I'm afraid - female hero definitely (both Nina Simone and the Mama in the song)

One of those songs you can listen to on an endless loop...

One of my all time musical faves. I was lucky enough to see him live 3 times in London. 1974's 'Okie' is my favourite J. J. Cale album, and as far as I'm concerned, no album collection is complete without it. However, I've decided to share 'Cloudy day' from the 1981 album 'Shades' with you.
