Absolutely, she can sing them too. That's a total gem. I was lucky to see her play it live a few years ago. Music heaven.

Cool Ruler! Such a great songwriter - tender, angry, often in the same song. sadly missed.

Yes, that's on my list too

First listen and I think it's very good. I've a heap of Wooley albums but haven't bought anything for a few years so took a punt on this as a pre-order. Sounds quite composed to me, it's probably not, and errs on the 'not a lot' end of the 'does it swing?' spectrum Seriously, it's serious music played very well by some very good musicians. If you've an ear for Wooley then you'll enjoy it. It wears all the intellectualising in the notes and on FJB lightly I'd say

Thanks. Giving it another spin and I agree with you on the most successful collaborations. Salif Keita could sing a shopping list and I'd enjoy it!

How are you finding that? I sampled a few tracks and wasn't too convinced by some of the collaborations Edit to add: decided to listen to it and can see that I fell for the danger of random sampling. Still not sure about the Camille track at all

Barry Galbraith - Guitar And The Wind [Decca, Japan] First listen to this, sounding good.

The new tendency to alphabetise by first name rather than surname.

We'd pronounce it the same as you but wonder why you weren't saying "aluminium", the correct word for the metal concerned

The joy of a large collection, rediscovering a title you'd forgotten about...
