Mary Flower- Bywater Dance (2005) - ***1/2
(Flower's excellent acoustic blues guitar picking backed by some of New Orleans' finest, including Jon Cleary, Dr. Michael White, Matt Perrine and Henry Butler.)

Bob Dylan- Blood On The Tracks (1975)- ****

(And I didn't skip "Lily, Rosemary...")

Charlie Hunter- The Loft, UC San Diego: 5/7/10, Late Show (2010)- ****
The Ventures- In Space: MONO (1965)- ****

Carole King- Tapestry: Classics Audiophile Bernie Grundman RM (1971/1999)- ****
(I haven't listened to this record in years. I don't recall it ever sounding this good.)

Black Sabbath- Vol. 4 (1972)- ***1/2
Pink Floyd- The Best of (1970)- ****

Helen Shapiro- Very Best Of : Single Disc Edit (2005/2025)- ***
(First time listening to Helen Shapiro. I've known her name for years as the teen singer who The Beatles opened for. She's got some set of pipes. Material is uneven, some great and some awful. But no question, she was something. I think she is still alive.)

Kirsty MacColl- Kite (1989)- ****
Jack White- No Name (2024)- ****

The Mofi cut of Tapestry is wonderful, not sure if that is what BG did.

Kristy MacColl, one of the most woefully neglected singers, maybe ever.
