Strand Of Oaks ?– Eraserland - 2019 - double album on Dead Oceans. hard for me to pigeon hole this guy - he sounds like Neil Young alt/folk rock/country but on this album he has lovely slices of background synths in places. last track is a 17 minute keyboard drone fest. this guy is good, very very good.
P.M. Dawn ?– Of The Heart, Of The Soul And Of The Cross: The Utopian Experience - such a superb album. RIP Prince Be
Gushing Gershwin: thrilled my ears with the sweetness of an old familiar song !
Launching straight out of Oberlin College and Conservatory, the "Verona Quartet" have cultivated something of an air of mystery.

Truelove’s Gutter is the sixth studio album from musician Richard Hawley.
The album title refers to an ancient street in Hawley’s native Sheffield. This street is now thought to be the location of present-day Castle Street, which was allegedly named after 18th-century innkeeper Thomas Truelove. Truelove used to charge local people to dump their rubbish in the gutter in the street that then flowed down to the River Don. Thematically, Truelove’s Gutter is Richard’s darkest album to date. The album features some uncommon instrumentation, such as the waterphone, megabass, and cristal baschet.
In the 15th century no proper drainage existed, so as an aid to cleaning the streets a pool was constructed to make a reservoir for the storage of water supplied by springs on the hills above West Bar. This came to be known as Barker’s Pool and had a pair of sluice gates that could be opened to allow water to escape when required.
All the streets had an open drain or gutter which ran down the middle of the narrow road and into this, all the refuse and filth of the town were thrown.
To cleanse the town, bells would be rung about once a month to warn people and the water would be allowed to escape from the pool to rush down the sloping streets until it joined the River Don at Lady’s Bridge.
The drains also carried rainwater and after very heavy storms they became rushing torrents. Rails or fences were erected at the side of parts of the drain and in places bridges were put across the gap.
It was upon one of these small bridges that a courting couple were seated when they were washed away in 1690.
This inspired James Wills, a local writer, to pen a poem in 1827 called ‘The Contrast: or the Improvements of Sheffield’ and referred to a town about sixty years previous.
“You remember the sinks in the midst of the streets –
And when rain pours down each passenger greets
His fellow with ‘What a wide channel is here!
We all shall be drowned I greatly do fear’;
For lately two lovers sat here on a rail,
On the side of the ditch, fondly telling their tale,
When the flood washed them down in each other’s embrace,
For no longer could they keep their seat in the place;
And hence, True-Love’s Gutter, it’s old name was given,
Because by the flood these two lovers were driven!”

Calm and nice jazz... as the start of the new music year.

And of course something that "warms up" a little extra as well.
