Dylan wrote and performed some great love songs. And one that is possibly more about platonic/ family love as covered very movingly by the Pretenders:

Been enjoying The Gabriel's album. This version of the Barbara Streisand track I think is stunning:

Pushing at an open door here Tony!

Frank Sinatra, bit of C&W, bit of trad Jazz, Radio 2 on all day, including evenings as we had no TV. Guess it helped my eclectic taste, but probably not my bass playing.

Been enjoying Ibibio Sound Machine over the last year hearing them regularly on 6 Music. Didn't realise this was 4 years old. Lovely squelchy bass!

Hi @eloisa great to see a new contributor on here, and thanks for putting the artist and title in your post. Makes the thread so much easier to search, unlike when I compiled a playlist from some of the earlier posts - you can find over 17 hours on this Spotify playlist Sorry @Reggaebass, no, I'm not going to update it 😎

Beat me to it.

Enjoy the much less pretentious original version:

Enjoyed this performance on Later last night. Allison Russell. Not sure what genre to suggest. Off to explore more of her work.

Drums and percussion are a highlight of the album.

Liked this from the off. The 'something not quite right' sound reminded me of Jonathan Richman. Started to drag a bit at Neighbours and World's Gone Mad, then came back much stronger. You're the Light stand out track on first listen. Love the way the drums have been recorded - can actually hear the bass drum as you would acoustically, not a huge over processed thump. Pressure is on the random generator for next week!

Gibson Ripper - not exactly a bright and cheery name.

AirBnB currently using this fabulous cover of Hugh Masekela's biggest hit:

Works so well with the sliced through scratchplate.

Yes, me too. Always up for musical exploration.

Advert for a rich, fatty dairy product perhaps?

Renault Clio using Oh L'amour by Erasure. They used Johnny & Mary by Robert Palmer some decades back.

For those getting caught up on the semantics of this, bright has no dictionary definition when it comes to sound. Dark is the new heft.

The Sound of Philadelphia - a song by MFSB which is open to some pretty dodgy misinterpretation! (Mother Father Sister Brother is the official version).

A cockney version of TSOP? 😏

Cool, thanks.

Ah, no!!! I know Chas had a great musical pedigree (Labi Siffre/Eminem, the Outlaws with Ritchie Blackmore), thought I'd found one to top them all! Oh well, I've still got the claim to fame of buying him and Dave several pints of Guinness (on expenses) many moons ago.

There is that. There is also the UK TV audience demographic with over 65s watching the most.

Can't find anything to say it wasn't. Also, a little Googling led me to see that Chas Hodges played organ on the track!

Take That doing a Byrd's/CSNY pastiche on Later. FMOB!
