2/23/25

Joe Higgs- Life Of Contradiction-****1/2
Aggrovators- Reggae Stones Dub (about half)- **1/2

Graduate- Acting My Age- ****
(Had no idea this existed before this weekend. Pleasantly surprised to say the least.)

Bryan Ferry - Olympia-*** 1/2
Steve Riley & The Mamou Playboys- Grand Isle- *****
The English Beat- I Just Can't Stop It- ****1/2
Yes- Fragile (Steven Wilson Remix)- ****

Paul Weller- Fly On The Wall (LP 3)- *****
(All covers. Every one of them, excellent!)

Bag Of Soup (Jules Shear, Marshall Crenshaw, Graham Maby)- Live At Tramps, 9/16/92- ****1/2
(I posted this as a Weekend Mix in 2008, just two months into Burning Wood. Only five comments. Considering a repost.)

Charlie Rich- That's Rich- ****
NRBQ- Scraps- ****

Little Bob & The Lollipops- Nobody But You- *****
(This record kills me every time, but beware of imitations. It's been reissued with the same cover and title, but different tracks. Ideally, the original LP is the way to go. The CD doubles the tracks, with many you don't need, but at least the original is represented.) 

George McRae- Rock Your Baby- ****
(If only for "I Get Lifted." What a record.)

For more than 25 years, I've had a compilation from Mr Weller, More Wood (Little Splinters) that is a shorter version of Fly On The Wall. I play it more than any of his other albums. https://www.discogs.com/release/1582838-Paul-Weller-More-Wood-Little-Splinters

I'd be up for a repost of Bag of Soup.
