What a great name for a band

Day 25 - 70s

Traffic - John Barleycorn Must Die - 1970

I never tire of this record. I have loved Winwood's voice for as long as I can remember. I think my first exposure was the live version of Freedom Rider, linked below. I saw it on a local music show in the early 80s called The Beat hosted by Doug Podell. I was transfixed by the whole band, and Stevie's performance was so magical to me.

Drum note
Jim Capaldi. What can I say that hasn't been said? An amazing and accomplished drummer and writer.

Day 26 - Dancing With Myself...
XTC - English Settlement
The first XTC song that I ever heard was "Senses Working Overtime" and it is such a catchy tune.

I immediately went out and bough this record. It was my first 2xlp. I had no idea that there that their label was also putting out single lp versions that had fewer tracks and a different running order. How could anyone think leaving of "No Thugs in our House" was a good idea?

Day 26: ”Stranger Things..” - 80’s classics time

Michael Jackson - Bad

Another case where the album cover screams that it's from a certain era. The hair and the leather and the amazing jams all exemplify the 80s!

And to bring it full circle, just finished watching the latest Strike season which used the chalk horse as a plot element.
