Pip Blom, Boat

I fell asleep waiting for the album to come out, it snuck past me, was out months ago and I have only just spotted it, and now I want it want it want it https://www.pipblom.com/

The (cover) tracks Ohio/Machine Gun & Fire and Rain on this has to be one of the best album openings ever.

The cover of Spill The Wine is brilliant too (*heresy alert* I prefer it to the original)

I don't think there's a single cover on this album which isn't better than the original tracks. I could listen the hard, funky, early 70's stuff by The Isleys, The Commodores, The Crusaders and The Temptations all day long. Vastly under appreciated.

Now listening:

Just realised this has the amazing John Marshall on drums, who I saw with Soft Machine the other week (whose current lineup, incidentally, are ****ing explosive live right now).

edit: John Marshall is pretty much the only drummer I could listen to solo endlessly. Well, him and Bryan Spring.

Jimmy Smith - Root Down - Live 24/192 stream

 

[FireMoon]

The rather splendid new Thank You Scientist album Terraformer...

 

[Big Tabs]

Not sure about this one. Robert Wyatt has a distinct vocal, and it gets on my pip sometimes.

1972 original, I think this issue is late 70's.

Joan Sutherland - Operatic Arias. Original 1959 Decca Mono that I picked up in a charity shop for £1 when awayfor a few days. NM and sounds great. I love Sutherland and saw her live a few times.

Later pinched for Will Smith - Men In Black...

The laptop is on random play and it has just come up with "Girls on the Avenue" by Richard Clapton. One of the unsung heroes of the Australian music sceen

 

[guey]

The taster track from the forthcoming Portico Quartet album - sounding very promising.

 

[lazycat]

Remain in Light - Talking Heads.

 

[TheDecameron]

Jimmy Cliff: The Harder They Come. Perfect music on a hot summer day, in fact perfect any time.

 

[Andrew C!]

Portishead - Dummy (whilst watching the cricket). Now onto a bit of Cheryl Crow...

 

[foxwelljsly]

Their first 4 albums were the most stoned and most bluegrassy of all the cosmic cowboys and they're all great, but this one, the first, is my favourite.

O, Caroline, that opens that album, is totally out of place on it and one of the greatest love songs I've ever heard.

It was an okay listen, I have loads more Wyatt to listen to, I love his voice on Shipbuilding, but I need to work on it.

 

[Tarzan]

Northern soul 'Best of Wigan Casino.'

Great wake up music.
