The Bill Callahan album Gold Record, released in September, makes a bold statement given the title. Fortunately the quality is worthy of gold status. A relaxed, seemingly spontaneous affair, demonstrating Callahan’s song-writing skills. |
 No.1200 18/12/2019
The 1957 Tony Bennett album The Beat of My Heart is primarily an experimental album, with an increased focus on percussion. Art Blakey, Chico Hamilton and others guest on the skins. I don’t think Bennett did much better than this LP. |
 No.834 18/12/2018
The Bristol trio Beak> released an album in 2018, >>>, worthy of the ‘best of’ end of year lists. Including Geoff Barrow of Portishead, the band have explored the krautrock genre, but with >>> they went bold. Music for movies. |
 No.462 18/12/2017
The 1984 The Replacements album Let It Be has a greater diversity and mature sound than the more up-tempo earlier LPs. The post-punk classic deals with themes of coming-of-age and rejection. Quality LP! |
