Seventeen degrees! COLD. Well, at least the days will soon start being a tiny bit longer.
I’m re-listening to this excellent recording . . . I didn’t get to finish it yesterday. McCorkle’s.voice was so rich and her interpretations . . real. . . you felt the songs.
Susannah McCorkle “I’ll Take Romance” Concord cd.

I've been listening to a fair bit of Robyn Hitchcock lately. Quite a lot of his solo material and the Soft Boys album Underwater Moonlight have been remastered and reissued.
He also plays weekly online gigs (called Live from Tubby's House) which are generally very entertaining as he plays his material and some covers and banters with his wife. (You sign up through Bandcamp though they are only available for a few days after the performance...)
I saw him live for the first time at the Drake Underground in Toronto. I see that in April he is playing the Athenaeum in my old stomping grounds in Chicago, and then the next day he plays the Horseshoe Tavern in Toronto! Unless I have an impossible conflict, I will get tickets.
