Day 53

CD#230 Syd Barrett - Barrett

The last album from what was left of Syd.

CD#231 The Felice Brothers - The Felice Brothers

Ramshackle country/folk rock from the Catskill Mountains.

CD#232 Extreme - II: Pornograffitti

I hadn't noticed before, but the bass player is called Pat Badger, which amused me more than perhaps it should.

CD#233 Jonatha Brooke - Careful What You Wish For

A little more beefed-up in places but underneath that it still has lovely songs beautifully sung.

With the number of CDs I currently have (or am expecting in the post any day) I've now passed half way, so only another 231 and I'll be nearly done ( I doubt I'll get there without buying one or two more ;O)  ).

CD#234 Counting Crows - Recovering The Satellites

The second album, the first with Dan Vickrey, it doesn't suffer from being the second album in part due to it being released three years after August And Everything After, with most of that time being spent touring and writing the songs that fill the album, whereas some second albums are filled up with songs that didn't make the first one and can be a bit hit and miss as a result.

CD#235 Bruce Springsteen - Nebraska

I lost interest in Springsteen after The River, especially the Born In The USA stuff, and missed this completely at the time of its release, probably as it's not particularly radio friendly. Despite that it's an interesting album, though not one of my favourites.

CD#236 Miles Davis - Kind Of Blue

I don't have much in the way of jazz on CD, but it's difficult to avoid the gateway drug of jazz albums unless you refuse to ever listen to jazz. I have listened for pleasure a number of times since I bought it, so this isn't being played just because I have to listen to all my CDs, and I'm sure I'll hear it again.

CD#237 Fairport Convention - What We Did On Our Holidays

Folk music, with electric guitars, sitar and robots. 

CD#238 Steely Dan - Aja

The one I listen to most often, though I've no idea if it's my favourite or not.
