10/12/25

Paul Weller- True Meanings (2018)- ****
Bruce Springsteen- Inyo (1995-1997/2025)-  ***1/2
Kaleidoscope- Side Trips (1967)- ****

Dizzy Gillespie, Sonny Stitt, Sonny Rollins- Sonny Side Up (1959)- ****

(One of my very faves, maybe Top Ten, if I don't think too hard. Worth the price of admission for Dizzy's vocal on "Sunny Side Of The Street.)


Tammi Terrell- Irresistible (1968)- ****
(Another great non-comp album from Motown. That riff in "Can't Believe You Love Me" is a killer.)


Elvis Costello & The Attractions- Trust (1981)- ****
Dr. John & The Bonnaroo Revue feat. James Booker & James Black- Dallas, 4/11/74- ***1/2

Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers- S/T (1976)- ****
Dwight Twilley Band- Sincerely (1976)- ****

(This was an excellent, albeit inadvertent, one-two punch.)

Nor-easter 45 Party:
The Sapphires- Who Do You Love
Any Trouble- Second Choice
B.W. Stevenson- My Maria
The Beach Boys- You're So Good To Me
The Four Tops- When She Was My Girl
Cissy Houston- Be My Baby
The Orlons- Everything
Tommy Hunt- I Am A Witness
Abba- Waterloo
Hurricane Smith- Oh Baby, What Would You Say?
Andrew Gold- Lonely Boy
Pure Prairie League- Amie

Any Trouble- Second Choice is one I first came across via Simels review in Stereo Review. Had the pleasure of hearing Clive Gregson sing it live as part of Richard Thompson’s band in the mid 80’s. A fine tune from an underrated songsmith.
