I haven't given up on Erkya Badu just yet. Will endeavour to listen to 'Mamas Gun', if I can find a download.
India Arie looks to be someone I might like. :)
Sorry, I can't get on with 'Mama's Gun', but I did quite like India Arie 'Acoustic Soul'.
Actually I don't think that hip-hop soul is really for me, but thanks for the suggestion.
Eileen Atkins - 'At Our Table'
Beth Orton - 'Daybreaker'
Natalie Cole - 'Ask A Woman Who Knows'
Jane Monheit - 'Never Never Land'
A couple of ladies I don't know there, Barry, I shall have to get acquainted with them tonight! :eyebrows:

I really like Suzanne Vega, but I only have this and her debut. I should try some of her later albums. Any recommendations anyone?

Haven't played this for years.
:thumbsup:
I have 7 of her albums, but usually these 2 I play….Quote:

In fact, I’ll play it now!

That's a tough one. I have most of her early output, but it's difficult to think of my favourites. You could try: 'Days of Open Hand'; '99.9 F°', and 'Nine Objects of Desire'.Quote:

Prior to this, I’ve been on a bit of a Röyksopp kick, played their first 2, then this one from last year:
Röyksopp - True Electric (2025)
https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...68a645e223.jpg
Mainly remixed versions of earlier works that they played on the True Electric tour. It’s a little odd, because the CD version is either mixed as if live, or you can get a version unmixed, but appears to be the same versions. Either way, it’s great!

One of their best LPs (apart from that bloody zip, which can damage the sleeve of adjacent LPs!).Quote:

In the end, it wasn't - inevitably they didn't stop making music or releasing albums! But at the time it seemed like it, and there are definite melancholic tunes on here but a fabulous album, nonetheless - especially "Running to the Sea" with fellow Norwegian Susanne Sundfør which is just brilliant in my opinion.

Swapped the Sony TT back in for a bit :thumbsup:
Elton John is one of those artists for whom I'm quite content to have a 'Best of' collection. This one has all I need:
Elton John - 'The Very Best of Elton John'
Eileen Rose - 'At Our Table'

Another successful 50p charity shop acquisition. :)

Yes I have that one, which is quite comprehensive and great for when I'm feeling lazy. But my favourire two albums are the very ones Mike was playing. I really need a new copy of Captain Fantastic though, my copy I've had forever and it's a bit tired these days.Quote:
