Ronnie Lane & Slim Chance - Anymore For Anymore
A lovely warm feeling rootsy album drawing on country, folk & blues. Ronnie & his mates enjoying themselves, just doing what they wanted to do.

Fotheringay's self-titled debut from 1970. As always a delight to listen to Sandy Denny's voice. A gem.

A real solo album, Wood plays all the instruments with the exception of a bit of harmonium, he did all the vocals, produced it himself & also drew the cover. Tunes are a mish mash of styles, but if anybody can make that sound okay then Roy can. Won't make my 5 but a good listen.

Really nice debut from Candi Staton, although not all the songs fully grab me However Candi certainly knows how to deliver a song, what a voice!

Curved Air - Airconditioning
A nice solid debut, a mixture of psych, prog & folk rock with some classical touches thrown in for good measure. It's not a masterpiece but it's worth lending a tad over 40 minutes of your time to.

The Cables - What Kind of World
Where better to start than with this classic Studio One album, nailed on for a place in my 5.
Wonderful vocal trio of Keeble Drummond, Elbert Stewart & Vince Stoddard harmonising over some marvellous rocksteady/reggae beats. Every track a joy.
