On The CD Deck

[jazzy_dave]

Well, another cool day with some sunshine. Still too cold, so I had a spicy hot chilli dish with rice, and overdid the ghost chillis a bit. However, it did warm me up no end!

I was listening to Schubert lieder in the morning and then some knotty Elliott Carter string quartets. Then on a different tack, I listened to the new Paul McCartney CD .. eh what you say .. yep, Paul. It came out in December 20202 during the lockdown and all the instruments on the CD are played by him and got a review in Wire magazine in the February issue.







I love the album. Just 44 mins. long but already high in rotation on my system. Comes in a cardboard sleeve which CD has no inner sleeve. Why do they not include an inner sleeve these days as CD is liable to get scratched if not carefully inserted etc?

On to some classic Van Morrison albums in my collection. Well, actually just three at the moment and I know he did some great albums and some less so. The Wire did a best of the Van article back in the early nineties. Checking - Yes, October 1991.
