Previous Albums Of The Day

No.1520 20/11/2020

The latest Chris Stapleton album Starting Over might just be the finest country release this year. Tender, bluesy, and produced by Dave Cobb…perfect. Even two members of Tom Petty’s Heartbreakers Benmont Tench and Mike Campbell joined in the fun. Great LP.

No.1172 20/11/2019

The Kevin Ayers debut album Joy Of A Toy is 50 years old this month! The founding member of Soft Machine created a curious, quirky and almost folksy at times LP. Kevin’s playful vocals and infectious tunes make an unforgettable listening experience. kevinayers.org

No.806 20/11/2018

The Manchester indie-rock band Puressence blew me away with their 1996 debut eponymous album. The high-pitch warbling of lead singer James Mudriczki was like nothing else around at the time. So many highlights on this LP… I Suppose, Fire, India, Traffic Jam in Memory Lane and Casting Lazy Shadows.

No.441 20/11/2017

The 2nd Tom Waits LP The Heart of Saturday Night, released 1974 is a late night boozy number. A poet like the Beat Generation. tomwaits.com
