Preview of what's coming up.
New Neil Young & Crazy Horse album Colorado returns to the grungy sound akin to Mirror Ball, 4 more from Cold, 3 From Jimmy Barnes & Puddle of Mudd's latest Welcome To Galvania. Last of my additions is a outstanding album from Chantel McGregor, more rock blues than blues rock.
Unexpected gift of 27 albums from my mate, only have two artists in my collection, this could be interesting. Will be adding to December's NEW list soon.

November 2019
Spending my birthday cash on music, 26 new albums downloaded to date. NEW for full list.
More rock than blues for November, great selection of Blues Rock with Danny Bryant, Sam Fish, Walter Trout, Eric Gales, Philip Sayce & Ash Grunwald to name a few. As for the Rock - old school 1989 album from The Cult - Sonic Temple, Cold - Cold (1997), 2 from Jim Jones And The Righteous Mind, 3 from The Dead Daisies and 2 from The Heavy.
Just started playing all to rate and review, so far Beth Hart - War In My Mind gets top rating, only 24 to go!
Listened to all and finished my ratings, only 3 albums rated GREAT, the bar is high!
The majority rates "GOOD" a simplified rating, meaning well worth many plays, just falling short of the top rating and a couple of OK's.
Started on December's albums as November's quota is full.

October 2019
Back to 1969 & 1971 with October's first downloads - Goodbye by Cream and Roy Harper's Stormcock.
Own Goodbye Cream on vinyl needed a digital copy to actually play it, as for Roy Harper only ever heard of him from the Zeppelin song, was watching a program about Pink Floyd's album Wish You Were Here, Roy Harper provided lead vocals on the track Have A Cigar. Now curiosity took over so I downloaded his 1971 album Stormcock.
Taking a chance on the new 2019 release from Indianhead titled Songs From The Deluge, only heard a few 30 second previews.
Looking forward to Beth Hart's new album War In My Mind to be released very soon, also have some artist that are new to me that need investigation. More as it happens!
Latest 10/09/19 - 3 new downloads, Ash Grunwald - Mojo, Tool - Fear Inoculum and Swan Valley Heights - The Heavy Seed.
Good start with my latests albums, 4 rated great, 1 rated good and 1 OK.
Seven albums gifted, a mix of old and new.

July 2019
Snowy White And The White Flames.
After playing one of August's gift albums I was drawn to rediscover the talent of Snowy White, already had his 2016 album Released and 2017 album Reunited.
Hearing the 1996 - No Faith Required album I was hooked, needed to discover more and was not disappointed, exceptional guitar playing throughout all of his records.
Audio tracks below.
