The latest LP from Nick Cave and Bad Seed Warren Ellis maintains the high quality you would expect from such exquisite songwriters. Carnage is an album of longing, of loss and of love. I just favour Ghosteen, but oh boy what an album.

The 1966 Frank Sinatra live album Sinatra At The Sands is an outstanding example of Ol’ Blue Eyes at his best. Accompanied by Count Basie and his orchestra, Sinatra runs through his classics and cracks funnies in The Tea Break.

The posthumous release Soul of a Woman by Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings is in my opinion her finest work. Released around a year after her death, Soul of a Woman showcases her incredible voice and vintage soul sound. She will be missed!
