The 2nd solo album by Icelandic recording artist Björk, Post, celebrates a 25th Anniversary today! The LP of eclectic art pop has a hit, yielding Army of Me, Isobel, It’s Oh So Quiet, Hyperballad, Possibly Maybe, and I Miss You as singles. Played this to death at the time! |
 No.1011 13/06/2019
The River in Reverse, a collaboration between two great song-writers Elvis Costello and the late Allen Toussaint. The LP was released in 2006, just 9 months after the devastating Hurricane Katrina destroyed so much of Toussaint’s beloved hometown of New Orleans. The Grammy nominated LP featured songs mostly from Toussaint’s 60’s and 70’s back catalogue. |
 No.646 13/06/2018
The eponymous debut Randy Newman album is 50 years old this month! The LP is a story of American life with characters, relationships and an uncanny awareness of social issues in the late 60’s. More orchestral than his later work. |
 No.281 13/06/2017
The eponymous debut from the 22 yr old Canadian Colter Wall is dark and raw country, from the gruff voiced singer, now living in Kentucky. Such maturity at such a young age! |
