The latest album, Set My Heart On Fire Immediately, by Mike Hadreas as Perfume Genius is a sumptuous listening experience. Surely his finest release to date, meaningful lyrics and packed to the rim of sensual melodies and ingenious arrangements. |

The 1961 Yusef Lateef album Eastern Sounds is among the jazz saxophonist and multi-instrumentalist finest work. Lateef brought world music influences to his compositions before many of his peers… hard-bop meets Orient. |

The Jeff Buckley collection of studio and 4-track songs known as Sketches For My Sweetheart The Drunk was released 20 years ago today! Many of the tracks were work in progress for his 2nd LP, but were never finished due to Buckley’s untimely death. I remember being so excited to hear this upon release. |

The wolves! Los Lobos album Kiko is 25 years old today. Superb Mexi-soul from a band so much more than La Bamba! Love That Train Don’t Stop Here & Rio de Tenampa. |
