Beautiful, your voice is unique

Thanks for listening, Sister. It means a lot to be back and have you hear it. Yes! Here's to next year!

Curiously, I can hear Dean having a go at this. Not the orchestra, I can't do orchestras in my head, but Deano? Yes indeed!

Leafy walkways, cappucino, and a need to send flowers is exactly the feel I was going for!!

I'm so relieved that it's recognisably a tango :-D

Marz, we were chatting about the pros and cons of including drums and I said I would include at least one this time around. This is it!

Ha! Opener? This one nearly didn't get included for being 'different'. :-D Shows you how much I know!

Thanks folks. What does 'quirky' mean these days?? Do I really want to know? To me it is high praise!

Yep it does help to be able to picture a samoyed running about ;-)

Good Stuff!

Ahh like a lovely cup of tea. I was thrilled to bits when you also signed up this year, and although I failed miserably, you knocked it out of the park...again. Thanks for giving me more breezy music to laugh at the world by. Next year, let's do it again. Any physical CDs this year??

Moody, Wolfy, Sliiick. (Album opener vibes, imho)

Brilliant song - and you make it all sound so effortless. Fresh, cool, quirky (I'm told by my teenage daughters that "quirky" no longer means what I think it means, but they're wrong), just g-o-o-d m-u-s-i-c.

Absolute classic Gumbo. Light and breezy, but with a bittersweet (dark even) undertone...how do you do that!?

Super sweet! Love the mandolin and you definitely achieved the feeling you were aiming for. *googles Samoyed*

Oooh yes!! Sultry! Rhythmic! Loving all the layers, all the twists and turns.

Oof yeah, more tango! Lovely harmonies and dreamy guitar.

Mischievous and irrepressible. The prosecution rests.

This gets a strange emotional reaction from me because I can't imagine you to be anything other than mischievous and irrepressible. But...this is Americana Tango...and I love both. Weirdly though, this takes me to the leafy walkways of Rome and now I want a cappuccino and to send you flowers.

Dean Martin probably wants to record this. I can hear a version with the Hollywood treatment in my head. But this is cooler. You infuse fresh air in everything you record.

Carlos Di Sarli 1958

So peaceful.

Soulful stuff. You're owning this. I like the birdsong too.

Ah this is mesmerising. Lovely. It's good to know you're still making music. I'm playing catch up here. Been away in the woods

Beautiful!

I hear ya brother. The floor is heaving :-)

It's like rediscovering an old treasure-box. I love this album!

Epic! This is pretty amazing. Like the way all the old jazzers took a solo and had to be distinctively themselves, this is like an 80s rock supergroup!

This is still a stunning listen

Oh I love the momentum in the lyric. Wonderful.

Gorgeous harmonies. There's a great build to this one.

Raw and rowdy praise the night. Dock Boggs sounded like this once. Love it.

Up with this sort of thing!

Nicely done. Is that yourself on keys? Very light! And I like the samples. Especially when the cop car pulls up alongside!

this is fun!

sad but true!

I've enjoyed listening to some tunes tonight and this one is right in my ball-park! Wonderful groove and vocal. And it highlights something i kept noticing. You write or craft wonderful bridge parts, whether they are vocal or not they give that magical lift to a tune. If I find a nice bridge for a tune this year it's down to you!

This is such a sensual feast! a classic. I must have had one of the other four versions, but i'm so glad it's here because hard drives don't last forever!

oh this is so tender

Good stuff. Such a cheery soundscape!
