The Malian band Songhoy Blues return with a new LP Optimisme. SB are one of the most exciting bands to emerge from Africa in recent years. The lead album track is called Badala, Songhoy for We Don’t Give a F*ck!

The 2nd live album by The Eagles Hell Freezes Over is 25 years old today! After 14-years, the Long Run era line-up reformed for a MTV special. The LP began with 4 newly penned tracks, then a superb greatest hits performance. A real soft spot for this LP.

An obscure choice today Musiques Electroniques En France 1974-1984 – Vol. 1. I found this collection of intriguing weird and wonderful synth experiments hypnotic and alluring. Includes work from Heldon, Patrick Vian, Pascal Comelade and Victor Nubla. Nope, never heard of any of them.

It took Brian Wilson until 2004 to finally release the legendary Smile. I was so fortunate to be at the live premier with Paul McCartney etc!

A heart-wrenching @todaysalbum. The Long Goodbye is debut solo by former Civil Wars singer-guitarist John Paul White. Clever chord progressions!
