Juke Jules SUBS 8th Nov 2024		CD Album Gabriels - Angels And Queens (2023)	Jacob Lusk sings the powerful title track [YouTube Video]
Juke Jules SUBS 29th Oct 2024		CD Album Backstreet - Another Look (2002)	Released after 17 years of playing together, on their own Rightonbackstreet label. The link shown on the sleeve is now broken, but can be seen on the Internet Archive, where this release is shown.
Juke Jules SUBS 24th Sep 2024		CD Album Various Artists - The Secret Museum Of Mankind Volume 3, Ethnic Music Classics: 1925-48 (1996)	A ridiculously eclectic rag-bag of Folk-music from around the world. All the tracks can be found on YT; here are a couple, from Nayasaland (now Malawi), and England [YouTube Video][YouTube Video] YT also offers us another 78 of the Elsie Avril, but this time a violin solo without piano accompaniment, on 1930 British Columbia DB227 (not yet on 78World)
Juke Jules SUBS 17th Sep 2024		CD Album Various Artists - Storefront & Streetcorner Gospel (1991)	"Before you educate the head, Father educate the heart" - Washington Phillips demonstrates the Dolceola [YouTube Video]
Juke Jules SUBS 4th Sep 2024		CD Album Katey Brooks - Hunger (2014)	Released 2014 and I've only recently caught on to her work: slightly folksy and very wistful songs about personal relationships, with the occasional touch of humour. [YouTube Video]

Juke Jules SUBS 29th Jul 2024		CD Album Ella Henderson - Everything I Didn't Say (2022)	Title track; Ella with piano accompaniment by Mike Kintish [YouTube Video]
Juke Jules SUBS 29th Jul 2024		CD Album Ella Henderson - Chapter One (2014)	"Ghost" was her big hit. I like the way the vocal interjections from the band are portrayed in the official video as police dogs barking [YouTube Video] Forget about the album track, the Live version is rather good! [YouTube Video] Four excellent session musicians are backing Ella here: Alex Reece is playing guitar, a tattooed Ryan Tedder is one of the background vocalists, while the two women seem to include Bridgette Bryant and either Carmel Echols or Maxi Anderson; I'd love to know for sure. The notes on this video are worth a read if you're interested in the collaborators on the album: "Ella Henderson's always managed to prove people wrong. Even at the start of her career, at the age of 16, she transformed a sixth place finish on The X Factor in 2012 into a UK number one hit, Ghost, two years later. Work started almost immediately on what would become Chapter One, with Ella hand-picking a string of top class producers and songwriters including Ryan Tedder (who approached the label about working with Ella after hearing a Drake cover she'd posted online), Salaam Remi (Amy Winehouse, Lauryn Hill), Steve Mac (Ed Sheeran) and the legendary "Babyface" Kenny Edmonds (Whitney, Beyoncé). Eventually, like a relationship coming to an end, Syco decided to part ways with Ella. "In the end, she was only label-less for three months after a handful of serendipitous events lead her to signing with Rudimental's Major Toms/Asylum label. “I wanted to sign for longevity,” she says of her new home. “I feel like I have a lot to give this time around and this label really understand me for my songwriting, not just Ella the popstar.”"
Juke Jules SUBS 15th Jun 2024		CD Album SBTRKT - The Rat Road (2023)	[YouTube Video]
Juke Jules SUBS 15th Jun 2024		CD Album Primus - Sailing The Sea Of Cheese (1991)	Many interesting credits on this: Tom Waits, voice of Tommy The Cat; "Les Claypool "Les (Claypool) plays (luthier) Carl Thompson basses and had his head tattooed by Theo Jak". Accordeon molestation by Matt Winegas (Claypool?) Jerry Was A Race Car Driver was the hit taken from the album [YouTube Video]
Juke Jules SUBS 11th Jun 2024		CD Album Various Artists - New Welsh Talent 2003 (2003)	Amy Wadge [YouTube Video]
Juke Jules SUBS 9th Jun 2024		CD Album Clairy Browne And The Bangin' Rackettes - Baby Caught The Bus (2013)	Baby Caught The Bus was the hit, but Love Letter is the classy track [YouTube Video]
Juke Jules SUBS 3rd Jun 2024		CD Album Antony And The Johnsons - I Am A Bird Now (2004)	..and we know which one is fully correct ;-) Anthony continues here his fine style of slow and thoughtful performance. Hope There's Someone [YouTube Video]
Juke Jules SUBS 3rd Jun 2024		CD Album Capital Letters - Headline News (2007)	The "E.P." disc is the same as the 7" Bread And Water EP. The image is a parody of the Be-Ro Flour adverts of the last century. [YouTube Video]
Juke Jules SUBS 22nd Apr 2024		CD Album The Staves - Good Woman (2021)	Glorious vocal harmonies from 'nu-folk' sorority The Staves, with just the right support from a metaphorical fraternity of backing musicians. [YouTube Video]
Juke Jules SUBS 14th Apr 2024		CD Album Eli - Things I Prayed For (1998)	[YouTube Video]
Juke Jules SUBS 14th Apr 2024		CD Album Vernon Building Society (Poynton) Brass Band - Together At Christmas (2006)	Review This album is a credit to Poynton Brass Band and its director Alan Lawton. One number that caught my ear in particular was Praise Ye The Lord, which is an arrangement, Carol 66, taken from the Salvation Army 1994 carol book "New Christmas Praise", of the hymn Hail, Smiling Morn, composed by Reginald Spofforth. You can find some good examples on YT of this being performed by various brass bands. 1 person found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
Juke Jules SUBS 13th Apr 2024		CD Album Fergie - The Dutchess (2006)	Badass Girlie Star genre of its time, all "You wan't what I got" kind of nonsense. Big production budget for the video of the title track! [YouTube Video]

Juke Jules SUBS 4th Apr 2024		CD Album Coolio - Gangsta's Paradise (1995)	Coolio's influential "Gangsta's Paradise" has been widely sampled, including by Ella Henderson on her download-only hit "Alibi" (which also samples "Calabria" by Rune, and probably several others) [YouTube Video]
Juke Jules SUBS 4th Apr 2024		CD Album 2nd Chapter Of Acts - Hymns (1986)	[YouTube Video]
Juke Jules SUBS 31st Mar 2024		CD Album Pete Ham - Gwent Gardens (2024)	Ironic that the solo records of this Welsh artist came out on USA labels. Pete Ham was lead vocalist of and composer for Badfinger, and the dedication to Dan Matovina must be for his book on the band.
