Every time I play this LP I smile at the record shop’s pricing :)

Robert Plant - Saving Grace (2025)

I really enjoyed this, not my usual type of thing but some great covers and musicianship.
James Yorkston - Songs for Nina and Johanna (2025)
https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...a614186a0f.jpg
I had never heard of Scottish folk singer James Yorkston before, but Nina Persson is one of my favourite female singers, so the performance on Jools piqued my interest. Really lovely album, highly recommend checking this out.
“A beautiful new album from James Yorkston, this time featuring not one but two of Sweden’s most recognisable female vocalists. Recorded in Stockholm with Nina Persson (The Cardigans), Johanna Söderberg (First Aid Kit) and members of The Second Hand Orchestra, these are songs about family, love and parenthood.”
Final one of the Jools discoveries:
Olivia Dean - The Art of Loving (2025)
https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...fe117f541b.jpg
I was vaguely aware of Olivia Dean but her performances on Jools led me to listen to this, her new and second album. Hard to give it a genre, poppy R&B, maybe? Well on first listen this is another cracking album that will be on regular rotation, and I will be checking out her earlier music.
Agreed - and for the first time in history, I found Jool's interview with one of his guests interesting. Even though my partner distracted me from fully listening to the interview with Robert Plant, it was landmark change.Quote:
