Two great new albums were released this week. Keb Mo’s “Live – that Hot Pink Blues album” and Sturgill Simpson’s “A Sailor’s Guide to Earth”. The Keb Mo album reminds me of the wonderful concert he did at the Kessler last year on my birthday. Patty and Brent went with us and we all really enjoyed the music. “Henry” is a real standout on a consistently great live album with great finger-picked National steel guitar solos.
Sturgill Simpson’s album is an amazing stew of R&B/soul horns, country guitar, Joe Walsh style guitar, piano ballads and old school country. I’ve only listened to the album twice so far – but looking forward to listening more.
I hear great things about the new Radiohead album and am off to see if I can stream it easily.
