Again this year I received more new music that has boosted my collection.
Lemonjelly.ky by Lemon Jelly
I do love the quirky nature of this group, how they include a fun element to their wonderfully sublime tracks.
I Want to See the Bright Lights Tonight by Richard and Linda Thompson
This is an album that harks back to the initial folk revival in the 1970s and is reputed to be a seminal collection of tracks. Historically interesting, put it does seem to have dated a bit.
Live Lounge by Various Artists
This is an earlier collection of tracks performed by artists on the BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge show. Some of the most interesting are those where artists play songs by others.
El Dorado by 17 Hippies
We saw this German band at WOMAD and were blown away by their skill and enthusiasm. As they admitted there are not seventeen of them in the band and they are not all hippies, however they do play some very good modern folk with a European twist.
Disco Heaven 2009 by Various Artists at Hed Kandi
I bought this double album for Sue who is a bit of a disco diva. It is the second hed kandi collection we have and if you like contemporary club music with soul then you should give this label a try.
Beside You – 30 Years of Hits by Dave Dobbyn
This was a gift from New Zealand that along with the following album means that I probably have everything that I can ever remember listening to in NZ that was locally produced when I lived there.
The Great New Zealand Songbook by Various Artists
