I spotlight Citizen Kane Jr. Blues by #NeilYoung on my blog today. (Link, as always, in bio.) It’s an “official bootleg” of a long-ago show. The ambience of the Bottom Line, the famed—and now defunct—NYC club, bleeds into the proceedings in a way that makes the recording a true slice of audio verité. It's a spellbinding set. #NeilYoungArchives #NewRelease #OfficialBootleg

How news travelled back in the day… @jonathantakiff reports in the Philadelphia Daily News’ May 31st, 1974, edition on #NeilYoung’s May 15th Bottom Line gig. #citizenkanejrblues #neilyoungarchives

I write about the new #CarolineSpence album, True North, on my blog today. (Link in bio.) As #DeniseLevertov observed in “Talking to Grief,” it’s only when we let grief in, and name it, that we can move on. True North explores just that in an artful manner. Highly recommended.

I spotlight the new album from #ScottLloyd on my blog today. (Link in bio.) He's an articulate wordsmith with a pop sensibility who reminds me of artists as disparate as Jackson Browne and Paul McCartney, not to mention Oasis and Lucy Rose. It's an excellent album. Give it a go. #NewRelease #NewAlbum #singersongwriter

Here’s #PaulMcCartney and #StevieWonder on the cover of the #ClubSandwich, the McCartney/Wings magazine.

I spotlight the new #Rumer album on my blog today. (Link in bio.) As the title suggests B Sides & Rarities Vol. 2 is an odds-and-sods collection, yet it's one that flows as if the songs were specifically recorded for the project. It's a sublime set. #NewRelease
