I need some music recommendations...

Yep, recommend me some music!

As you know, I’ve been keeping myself busy in the workshop with the XL600R rebuild and it’s given me the opportunity to explore the cobwebby corners of my eclectic music ‘collection’ Why is it, that no matter how much music you have at your finger tips, sometimes you just can’t find the right thing to suit the mood? 🤔

Here are the top five albums that are getting a lot of airplay in my workshop in the past couple of months (I seem to be in a country rock furrow at the moment. I have just bought a tractor thing, so that might explain it 😂)

The Band (The Last Waltz)
Little Feat (Waiting for Columbus)

The Marcus King Band (Carolina Confessions)

Primal Scream (Give Out But Don’t Give Up)
The Warratahs (Runaway Days)

What are you listening to in these locked down times?

C'mon all you secret Abba lovers

I think maybe this isolation thing has finally tipped me over the edge

Yep, reckon so! 😂

Churlish of me not to mention that I listened to The Warratahs , Runaway Days --- good song.

I think that one has a bit of a Neil Young vibe to it.

In an effort to understand Lowflyer’s ABBA problems, I’ve taken a wander down memory lane to late 70’s new wave classics like...

which inevitably led to...

which connects directly to...

I was never a fan of Bowie after Aladdin Sane, Ziggy Stardust, etc. but he did know how to reinvent himself and move with the times.

I liked Mick Ronson’s guitar work though. When I worked in Hull, I used to have my lunch at the Mick Ronson memorial tea stand in Queens Gardens. I was fortunate enough to see him play (guesting alongside Eric Clapton and Albert Lee) in 1980. Brilliant guitarist.

If I am stuck for inspiration as to what to "put on" my fallback is always the Traveling Willberries.

A good choice 👍
