Day 10 - Don’t Shoot The Piano Player
Spin a record that features phenomenal ivory tickling
Billy Joel - The Stranger
This on is an obvious choice I know, but my folks loved Billy Joel thus I love The Piano Man too. The Stranger is the only Joel record I own and arguably his best. The whole LP plays like a “Greatest Hits” . This is a white label promo version.

Day 10 - Don’t Shoot The Piano Player
Ben Folds Five - Whatever and Ever Amen
Ben has been known to tickle a few ivories. And even though today's topic is for piano players I have to say that I absolutely love Darren Jessee's drumming on this record. He seems to always serve the song so well; restrained and delicate when he needs to be, and brings nice power other times. And man he has some sneaky awesome fills throughout.

Day 10: Piano Player
Horace Silver - Blowin' The Blues Away
Horace managed to write a couple of future standards on this one. I usually don't go for piano jazz, but this is mostly hard bop led by a piano player.

Day 10: Don’t Shoot the Piano Player
Aretha Franklin - I Never Loved a Man the Way I Loved You
Aside from being a fantastic vocalist, Aretha was also a pretty great pianist. “Do Right Woman-Do Right Man” & her rendition of “A Change is Gonna Come”, my favourite songs on this album, highlight both of those traits perfectly!

I am a Tigermilk guy too. Not that I ever disliked If You’re Feeling Sinister, both are damn near perfect in my opinion but if I had to pick one it’d probably be Tigermilk.

Day 11 - early 2000s indie
Tomte - Hinter All Diesen Fenstern
I lived in Germany for a good part of the 2000s and got into a few local bands. Tomte might be my favourite; its singer Thees Uhlmann has had a decent solo career too. This is from 2003 and is a little Oasis inspired and great. I don't listen to much indie these days but this brings the sweaty nostalgia back.

Day 11: Meet Me In The Bathroom
Bright Eyes-Fevers And Mirrors
Love this album so much, and is still one of my go-to therapy albums. It is also an inspiration for one of my next tattoos
