Ah, and the weeks fly by ... into hay fever hell. My blog has a clog. I've been sick with drippy sneezy allergy/cold symptoms but still have a few new listenings to post (besides the dull throbbing of my sinuses).
Got my signed advance copy of Jonatha Brooke's new CD from her website yesterday. One listen through and I'm enjoying it very much. Always need a few listens though to pick favorites, etc, though.
I also downloaded six "lost" BE mp3 tracks from Duke Boyne's site (scroll down his page). Very enjoyable. (I think I had these on a cassette from Mr. Jaibird years ago. Remember cassettes?)
Thanks to my brother Jay, I was directed to Bekka Bramlett's site to watch three 2006 videos of her dueting with the great Sam Moore. I highly recommend you going there and hitting the video button. Being the daughter of Delaney and Bonnie, it's no secret where she got those stellar cords. Of course, at 71, Sam is still one of the finest soul singers alive. If you missed his last CD, Overnight Sensational, you need it in your collection.
And please check out my comment to yorolpal's (aka Doghouse Riley) last post to get a video dose of great Tom Jones. Also, my copy of his recommended Robert Palmer CD, Drive, is supposedly in the mail.
Hope I am past this sneezefest next week. Same blog time, same blog channel ...

I also received a copy of Jonatha Brooke's new CD, "Careful What You Wish For", and am loving it. It's very, very solid.
I've been a huge supporter of this very talented artist for years. My thought when I heard this album: This is going to be huge. The rest of the world is now going to discover Jonatha Brooke.
