The 1981 Elvis Costello & The Attractions LP Trust was his 5th release, 4th with the Attractions, and 5th produced by Nick Lowe. Perhaps one his most underrated LPs, Trust might just be one of his best. Love New Lace Sleeves. How do you rate?

No.1236 23/01/2020

The 2nd Sturgill Simpson album Metamodern Sounds in Country Music, released in 2014, was recorded in just four days. As Allmusic said “wildly adventurous; it extends the musical promise outlaw music made to listeners over 40 years ago.” Superb.

The Throwing Muses album Hunkpapa is 30 years old today! The 3rd LP was mostly written by Kristin Hersh, with a couple of tracks by half-sister Tanya Donnelly. Lushly produced, but clearly an album in transition from a band searching their identity. A grower?

I wouldn’t normally consider an album by a US X Factor runner-up. However, after reading reviews I thought I’d give it a try. I was pleasantly surprised! The ex-Fifth Harmony singer Camila Cabello has released a quality pop record with Camila. Honestly, try it! camilacabello.com
