The 1989 XTC double-album Oranges & Lemons is 30 years old today! The music has been described as a 1980’s update of 1960’s psychedelia. Beatles-esque, aged remarkably well, and a delightful listen. Love Mayor, The Loving, Merely a Man, and King for the Day. |

The 2002 former J. Geils Band singer Peter Wolf album Sleepless is a modern country-blues classic. Includes guest appearances from Mick Jagger and Keith Richards. I must admit I’d never heard of Wolf until I came across his name in a ‘greatest album’ list. Very enjoyable! |
