Two quick listens.

Chicken Heads 50th Anniversary
by Bobby Rush (2022)

https://open.qobuz.com/album/p1a5wnkma1tzb

Example:

Just 4 versions of the same song: Bobby Rush, Buddy Guy, Gov't Mule, Christone "Kingfish" Ingram... I like Bobby's more raw blues, but the others are fun.

And then more fun. A lot of things still hit:

"Well, he may be a fool but he’s our fool"

Good Old Boys
by Randy Newman (1974)

https://album.link/fw6p7j6rpszzd

Example:

Some really pretty tunes along with the hard hitters.

[Grahame]

More Than A Feeling

by Boston (1976)

Because:

There is a lot going on, and it was all done in the analog domain. impressive.

So crank it up, and sing along like no one is watching / listening.  You know you want to. Tariff Free!

Heart Like A Wheel
by Linda Ronstadt (1974)

Example:

Just admiration of talent....

Not for everyone - but ...

Kate Liu, Piano (2025)

It's her formal solo album debut. A friend put the focus on her for her playing in some competitions and recitals. Some available on YouTube. I've liked it a lot.

The Gospel Of The Blues
by Sister Rosetta Tharpe (2003)

https://album.link/gj4wgq3qv0qgj

Example:

18 Decca tracks from 1938-1948. Recording tech suffers a bit, but it does not overshadow Sister's playing and singing prowess.

Nights Are Forever
by England Dan & John Ford Coley (1976)

https://album.link/b89d3t9vgvhjk

Example:

Oh that 90's fashion... :}

Yeah we are on the lighter side of music. But production value was off the charts.

[Grahame]

Replay of Lady Gaga's Set from Coachella

As they say, She does put on a good show.

Week Two of Krafting... 

How could I not?

Wasn't planning on a theme, but I had both in my listening queue. So, I decided to listen to them...

Have you considered completing the trifecta, albeit with a change of pace?
