6/14/25

Dee Dee Bridgewater & Bill Charlap- Elemental- ***
(Dee Dee is a bit nerve-shredding on this session or I would have graded it higher.)

Van Morrison- Back On Top- ****
v/a- In The Pocket With Eddie Bo- ***1/2
Sly & The Family Stone- Deeper (BW Playlist)-****
Los Lobos- Native Sons-****

Stanton Moore- Take It To The Streets- ****
(Stanton, George Porter Jr. & The Dirty Dozen Brass Band jamming on 14 New Orleans classics! Hard to keep still.)

Thin Lizzy- Chinatown-****1/2
(This record is a feast of Phil Lynott vocalisms! Love this so much. Very underappreciated.)

Sinead O'Connor- The Lion & The Cobra- ***1/2
The Beach Boys- Sounds Of Summer (Personal Playlist)-****1/2
Bee Gees- Main Course- ****

Similar reaction to the new Dee Dee. I think the lp would have fared better if they had a full band backing up the project. Try the new one by Cyrille Aimee, though - really nice.

That Stanton Moore record is very hard to find. It was "lagniappe" to a sheet music book that Stanton had compiled, way back in 2005.
