This is what I listened to this week, albums only, I listen to a boat load of singles but don’t bother listing them. Would The Loveboat be a boatload of singles? No, my wife and I took our honeymoon on one of the Loveboats, definitely not single.

Dylan Marlowe – Dirt Road When I Die – Streamed – 2023
A shot of C/W to start the week, I’m generally not a fan of modern country, but I can always sneak some in under the radar. I have Wanted! The Outlaws in my car as the CD of the day.

Dick Dale & His Del-Tones – Surfer’s Choice – – Streamed – 1962
I was working on a guitar riff, and when I surfed the internet for the chords, this caught my eye. Like C/W, I am not usually listening to surf rock, but a dose here and there doesn’t hurt.

Sorrows – Love Too Late – Streamed – 1981
Research for a review of Arthur Alexanders new album, Steppin’ Out

Roy Orbison – All-time Greatest Hits of Roy Orbison Volume 1&2 – CD – 1989
I had the privilege of seeing Roy Orbison live in/about 1977, and it still ranks as one of the best shows I have seen.

Arthur Russell – Picture of Bunny Rabbit – Stream – 2023
Test run of some new music; it’s quirky but in a good way.

Tony Allen & Adrian Younge – Tony Allen JID018 – Stream – 2023
Friday’s new music, this one is a keeper. Nigeria meets the USA for a funky jazzy percussion driven album of pure joy for my ears.

Stevie Wonder – Various – Stream – 2023
I like Stevie Wonder’s music, mostly the ’70s albums.

Roberta Flack – Chapter Two – LP – 1970
I took a break from blogging and got back to the LPs. Roberta Flack had a captivating voice. I like her early material, this is her second album.

Flash and the Pan – Flash and the Pan – LP – 1979
Still listening to “F.” This is a deserted island record.

T.R. Bruce – Selling Your – Stream – 2023
I’m back to streaming some new music.

Nevis – Reverberations – Stream – 2023
The first track on this album blew me away the first time I heard it.

Flash and the Pan – Early Morning Wake Up Call – LP – 1984
More “F” ing vinyl.

Annie Taylor – Inner Smile – Stream – 2023
Inner Smile is an excellent mowing-the-lawn album. I put on my over-the-ear active noise-cancelling headphones. Inner Smile is nearly the same amount of time I need to mow the backyard lawn. Now I am listening to Inner Smile in the office and this is one sweet rock and roll album.

Guided By Voices – Welshpool Frillies – Stream – 2023
More new music from Friday.

Some of these recordings are reviewed on my blog site, WeatheredMusic.ca

Kevin – On Repeat #205 – Stream – 2023
Another playlist that I enjoyed listening to. Thanks, Kevin.
