Linda Ronstadt: Get Closer



Get Closer is the first pop album Ronstadt made after doing Pirates of Penzance--and it shows in her voice, full of more muscle and control than ever before. Runs the gamut of musical styles from ballads (The Moon's a Harsh Mistress) to flat out rockin' (Get Closer). Also contains a well done duet with James Taylor on the old Ike and Tina Turner hit "Think Its Gonna Work Out Fine".

Dire Straits: Love Over Gold



Unfortunately the CD version. I understand a really nice 180g vinyl version was released earlier this month.

Great music none the less.

Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass: Summertime



If I didn't listen to this today I would have has to wait until next June.  :lol:

(Note: I have a vinyl copy, but the only clean cover shot I could find on the web was from the reel-to-reel version.)

Sinatra & Strings



This one is kind of a double edged sword. Franks voice is top shelf, but the strings get kind of shrill as the dynamics increase.

Your Love Over Gold post got me poking through my music library.  Hadn't played this for a while.

CGT is a very interesting group.  They do some really nice stuff.  The one I posted is pretty hard to find.

Bryan,

I lucked out on this one. My local library has a copy of the Kill to Get Crimson CD. I put in an online hold for it and hopefully will be able to get over there tomorrow to pick it up.  :D

Your last post got me to poking around by Knopfler discs and I can across this one-

Mark Knopfler and Chet Atkins: Neck and Neck



Nice sounding British vinyl.

Tag, you're it! ;)
