A wee upgrade on my well played original copy
Mention of this one elsewhere gave me a hankering to listen to it. I need to get a better mastering though the one I have is terrible despite the hype stickers

Plenty of choice about for a better version, just depends on how much you want to spend Martin.Quote:

Delivery should have been 3 days. Was actually ten days. But better late than never. First impressions are that it's ok, but I prefer the 'folky' sound of her early albums. Suits her voice better imo. Still decent though.

You might prefer 'Songs in Red and Gray'. See my post 4944.Quote:

Hermanos Gutiérrez - Hijos Del Sol (2020)
https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...447f606b5e.jpg
I can’t remember if I have posted this before,so apologies if I have, but love this album so much that I haven’t yet graduated to listen to their other ones! Another gem found via Radio Paradise.
“Brothers Alejandro and Estevan Gutiérrez comprise instrumental duo Hermanos Gutiérrez. Using traditional guitars, lap steel, and organic percussion, their music evokes the feel of remote spaces and untamed places, from Ecuadorian beaches to the deserts of Mexico and the American Southwest. They draw primary inspiration from the western soundtracks of Ennio Morricone and Stelvio Cipriani, vintage psychedelia, and classic Latin and South American music from 1950 through the '70s.”

The description certainly sounds interesting / enticing.Quote:

Going back to the beginning and playing their debut now from 2017 - 8 Anos

When you mentioned yesterday that other album of his, my first thought was Kill Bill! My second thought was where has my Kill Bill soundtrack gone, I'll go out to the car, it might be there.Quote:

Hi Steve, I'm afraid I don't have a physical copy, i am just streaming it via Tidal (also on Spotify, not sure on others but I suspect it is). I do think you'd like it - to be fair, it's hard not to like, good playing, well recorded, and atmospheric. I guess only small criticism is that they are a bit "samey" (having played most of the albums today).Quote:

Just given this a spin. Very well played and recorded. I can certainly see where the Spaghetti Western association comes from. Quite samey throughout and not really my thing, though worth a listen.Quote:

One of my favourite bands on what is one of the best KCRW sets, ever. Awesome!

Dolly Rocker Movement - Our Days Mind The Tyme
About as clichéd a 60's Psych Album as you could hope to hear, but a decent Album and great fun.
