I like Andra Day, and many female artists vocal ability is at that level for sure. I stand corrected. I just really enjoy her overall sound, the message of her music, all of it. Brilliant.

Well, I'm not even sure what generation she's supposed to be the voice of. And I know I'm an out-of-touch old codger, but I'd expect to at least to have heard of someone with that description. Adele I'd put down as a big seller, but culturally irrelevant. I'm not sure that generations have 'voices' any more, everything is too fragmented. From my era, Dylan used to get the tag. Since then? Dunno. Kurt Cobain? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I suppose the reason I said it is this, in a generation where God is forgotten in the dogma laid down by modern day society, she may well be the voice of this generation. I know you and I differ on our ideas about this experience in relation to God. But so you know, that's my thoughts. I appreciate your reply though, and you may be an old codger, but I disagree on any notion you are out of touch, I'd say you're for the most part on point.

I was about to say that's a pretty small subset, but then I remembered about America. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donald Trump is the voice of the Christian subset of all generations of Americans at the moment, if you believe Evangelical leaders over here. I'd be willing to take a punt on Lauren Daigle as an alternative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bickster Posted April 23, 2021 Moderator Share Posted April 23, 2021 Anyhoooo It's been posted before by myself and Chris but this is on right now. The Secret Dub Life of the Flying Lizards by The Flying Lizards (AKA David Cunningham.) The recording originates from 1978, was never released at all until 1995 (CD only) and only released on vinyl in 2010. So this is a vinyl first pressing 32 years after it was recorded. And even then it was released only in Germany. It's actually Cunningham remixing an unreleased album by Jah Lloyd and he did an unbelieveable job on it considering the master tape he was working on was in mono. He had to invent new techniques just to get it to work. No-one knows who the actual musicians on this are, as Jah Lloyd never actually recorded who played on it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leemond2008 Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 I've been drinking far too much on a Friday but I've had a hankering for this, I'm just on Snowblind at the moment, I know for a fact that this is just going to open the door to many more albums tonight and I'm going to end up doing all of the alcohol that I have available and possibly getting UberEats to deliver me a few cans of special brew later on. I'll start watching my alcohol consumption from next week. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leemond2008 Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 As an update, I finished VOL 4 and moved swiftly onto Rory Gallagher, drank my 8 cans ate my curry and got myself to bed. Pretty decent result I reckon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bickster Posted April 24, 2021 Moderator Share Posted April 24, 2021 A reissue from 1980 of a genuine 1967 Ska compilation. Club Ska 67 There are only two "Ska Classics" on this. Guns of Navarone and Shanty Town, plus a second division Pheonix City by Roland Alphonso The rest are all much less well known and that is why I love this album, these tracks were obviously well known back in 1967 but because they didn't get covered / rewritten by the 2 Tone era bands, they are pretty obscure these days. There's even a Rita Marley track - Pied Piper. Definitely not a Ska by numbers compilation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bickster Posted April 24, 2021 Moderator Share Posted April 24, 2021 Keeping the Ska vibe going another comp by this time one stuffed with the "Ska Classics". Again, some very decent filler though. Double Album this time 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bickster Posted April 25, 2021 Moderator Share Posted April 25, 2021 Sunday morning and the early morning Ska continues with the legendary Trojan Ska Series Tighten Up starting with Volumes 1 & 2 on CD, I may make it all the way through to volume 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
