Juke Jules SUBS 28th Mar 2024		CD Album Mal Pope - Land Of My Children (1999)	All tracks are in the "Contemporary Cristian" genre, for example Cwm Rhondda is a reggae setting of "Guide Me, O Though Great Redeemer" to the tune Cwm Rhondda. The title track uses the tune by Hans Leo Hassler, made popular in the setting by Bach for the hymn O Sacred Head, Sore Wounded. [YouTube Video]
Juke Jules SUBS 6th Mar 2024		CD Album Haydon Spenceley - Circles (2008)	The Rev. Haydon Spenceley presented the Daily Service on BBC Radio last month, and this was the only time I have heard the presenter also singing one of the hymns. He leads training in the Dioces of Peterborough, and seems to have a rock career on the side. . [YouTube Video]
Juke Jules SUBS 5th Mar 2024		CD Album Natalie Merchant - Tigerlily (1995)	[YouTube Video]
Juke Jules SUBS 27th Jan 2024		CD Album Melanie Martinez - Cry Baby (2015)	Martinez has struck a nerve, in particular with adolescent girls coming to terms with their position in the family: Wikipedia has far more detail on her background and career than you want, except maybe for the musicians behind this. Dollhouse spells out her insecurities which are acted out in the 'official video' [YouTube Video]

Juke Jules SUBS 5th Nov 2023		CD Album 9Bach - Anian (2016)	Review Rather strange coupling; CD1 is fully Welsh-language 'Breakbeat/Electro', with vocals and piano by Lisa Jên with guitars, bass, drums, harp and hammer dulcimer, while the 'companion' CD is English narrative, as explained in the booklet. I note that Real World divides their output into global regions, with UK CDs designated as 'Europe' - see realworldrecords.com/artists, but as they are catering to the WOMAD audience, they are all effectively 'International' releases.

Juke Jules SUBS 24th Oct 2023		CD Album Joan Osborne - Relish (1995)	It's worth mentioning that this entry has been edited by combining it with another European entry in 2021; this explains the duplication of some of the comments.
Juke Jules SUBS 17th Oct 2023		CD Album Jay Chakravorty - A Map With No Memory (2021)	Available as limited edition 12" viny, CD, or download, from BandCamp Video of the recording session [YouTube Video] Sunlight At Stratford Station [YouTube Video]

Juke Jules SUBS 6th Oct 2023		CD Album Clairy Browne - Pool (2016)	The well-endowed Clairanne Browne promises all manner of service to the subjects of her songs [YouTube Video][YouTube Video] Her website can now be found on archive.org
Juke Jules SUBS 5th Oct 2023		CD Album Johnny Hallyday - Cadillac (2010)	I see Yves Sanna is credited as drummer on these
Juke Jules SUBS 5th Oct 2023		CD Album Johnny Hallyday - Cadillac (2010)	Review Playright 1989 but copyright 2010 suggests that the tracks date from 1989 when Hallyday was 46. Nine of the ten tracks are hard rockin' numbers, and the brief "Testament D'un Poète" is a romantic ballad with orchestral backing. The title track seems to have a different, or an additional bassist: Phil Soussan may have been bassist on this set, but the fretless bass on Cadillac sounds so like Pino Palladino. [YouTube Video] The live version from a concert at Bercy in 1990 shows the bassist for a full second at 4:22, and he looks so like Palladino to me, while the brief appearance suggests there were contractual reasons not to shown more. This live version is identical to the album track, complete with some gorgeous BGVs, so I think the entire set was recorded live. [YouTube Video] The typical hard rock style can be heard on Possible En Moto, complete with instrumental motorcycle effect, Yves Sanna is credited as drummer for the set: [YouTube Video] "Si J'étais Moi" is a powerful ballad, and the duet seems to be with Vanessa Paradis, who by then would be 27: [YouTube Video] The orchestra on (Le) Testament D'un Poète was apparently the Symphonic Orchestra of Europe, conducted by Olivier Holt: [YouTube Video] Altogether a powerful and emotional set with Hallyday at his very best, ✔︎ Helpful Review?
Juke Jules SUBS 5th Oct 2023		CD Album Johnny Hallyday - Les Années Johnny (1996)	[YouTube Video]
Juke Jules SUBS 26th Sep 2023		CD Album Billy Thorpe And The Aztecs - 45 R.P.M. Extended Play (2014)	[YouTube Video]
Juke Jules SUBS 22nd Sep 2023		CD Album Sorela - Sorela (2016)	I had Radio Cymru playing quietly in the background one evening as I sat at the PC, until Lleuad came on and interrupted my train of thoughts. Spotify identified it, so there must be a commercial recording to track down, and here it is. It's also on YT so I went to listen, and there are two versions. I expect R Cymru were playing their own session version. [YouTube Video] [YouTube Video]
