Juke Jules SUBS 14th Nov 2020 | | Vinyl AlbumJohn McCutcheon - How Can I Keep From Singing? (1975) | This is the first time I have become aware of John McCutcheon, but he has a long history of recording and is widely represented on YouTube. The title track is his arrangement of the Pete Seeger song, recorded as a tribute to his late friend. Seeger has adapted this from a 19th century hymn by Robert Lowry My Life Flows on in Endless Song (How Can I Keep From Singing?)
This recording is not yet on YT but do watch him sing this later evocative recording which he made with the collaboration of several folk artists including Peggy Seeger

Juke Jules SUBS 9th Oct 2020 | | Vinyl AlbumBurt Bacharach - Reach Out (1967) | This album sounds like a compilation of demo tracks to be sent out to producers and arrangers who would find more accomplished singers, but the genius of melody, harmony and lyrics by Burt and Hal shine out here

Juke Jules SUBS 15th Sep 2020 | | Vinyl AlbumTina Dico - Whispers (2014) | All tracks were composed for the film En-sang-fran-hijartat, and Dico takes a new direction in her writing. The style of Someone You Love reminds me of Tracy Chapman or Lana Del Ray singing about broken dreams and unrealisable hopes

Juke Jules SUBS 15th Sep 2020 | | Vinyl AlbumTina Dico - Whispers (2014) | The record label was set up by Dico for her own releases, and is usually stated as 'Finest Gramophone' but I have used Finest 24 as it says on the sleeve, "Finest24LP Ⓟ and © Finest Gramophone"

Juke Jules SUBS 15th Sep 2020 | | Vinyl AlbumKevin Ayers - Bananamour (1973) | Cheerful track from Ayers, best known for his work with Soft Machine and in the "Canterbury Scene"

Juke Jules SUBS 16th Aug 2020 | | Vinyl AlbumNic Jones - Penguin Eggs (1980) | and glow they might, the album was awarded Melody Maker Folk Album of the Year.
I was lucky to see Jones playing a gig at a folk club in a notorious pub shortly before his car accident
All the tracks are wonderful, a strong favourite being The Little Pot Stove which includes the phrase "Penguin Eggs"

Juke Jules SUBS 1st May 2020 | | Vinyl AlbumVarious Artists - !Wild! Stereo Drums (1961) | ReviewDevised more as a Stereo demonstration record, the music is what it claims - perhaps "wide ranging" is a slight overstatement. The drums are augmented by percussion instruments including bongos, Chinese cymbal tree, timbales, claves, scraper, cymbals, marimba, cow bell, celestatemple blocks and tambourine

Juke Jules SUBS 7th Mar 2020 | | Vinyl AlbumThe Rockin' Berries - In Town (1965) | Funny How Love Can Be was written by Carter and Lewis for the The Rockin' Berries and they recorded it just before The Ivy League but didn't release it on a 45, the League had the hit with it. Should have been a hit for The Rockin' Berries too

Juke Jules SUBS 1st Mar 2020 | | Vinyl AlbumKlaus Renft-Combo - Renft (1976) | 'Als ich wie ein Vogel war' seems to be typical of their work at the time, longing for the Freedom of the birds. The band was summoned to play before the cultural committee who decided which bands should have a licence to play in the DDR but their work was too subversive to get past the Stazi, particularly the works of Kurt Demmler, and they were informed there was no problem with their licence, just that the band no longer existed. After the opening of the Brandenburg Gate the band re-formed and became popular in the unified Germany
