The recent album True by Berlin based composer Lambert blends classical with enchanting piano. A light touch of percussion and electronic accompaniment adds mystique, as does the Sardinian mask he performs behind.

The Hank Williams double-LP 40 Greatest Hits is the definitive greatest hits compilation. Released on the 25th anniversary of Hank’s death (in 1978), the album is Williams’ best-seller, and includes Lost Highway, I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry and Cold, Cold Heart. Great legacy!

The 2nd Morcheeba album Big Calm is 20 years old today! I loved this album back in the day, with great tracks including The Sea, Part of the Process, Blindfold, Fear and Love and the title track Big Calm. Superb pop/trip-hop!
