Playlist over the last week.

Cosmic Rough Riders 'Enjoy The Melodic Sunshine'

'A Jingly-Jangly, Byrds Like Songfest'

Cosmic Rough Riders could quite easily be the offspring of a 'night of passion under the stars at Woodstock' that any member of The Byrds had back in the 60's.

Other influences R.E.M,. Big Star, Beach Boys

Picked this beauty up for 50p originally released in 2000 because I liked the look of the sleeve. Honestly didn't expect too much, on listening I was knocked out by the quality of their songs, brilliant album

Some wonderful nominations on this little gem that will probably get hammered in the Mega-Song polls but who cares I love it

64 - I also picked this, for next to nothing, up a good few years ago for pretty much the same reason.

I too didn't expect much, and didn't get much - don't think I've ever played it since that first listen

Oh dear Cat

If it's not some rock tune from the 70's/80's nothing else matters between your ears

And prey tell '64, what is wrong with that philosophy? eh

Speaking of The Byrds, currently listening to the live set from 1970's Untitled album.

Arguably their last truly great album Sara

Having watched the Paul Rodgers (with Brian Johnson)/Free/Bad Co programmes that were on SkyArts last Fri or Sat a new CD copy of Free - Fire and Water arrived in the post today. Never had an original vinyl copy and had lost the CD copy I had years ago. Had forgotten how good Free (albeit relatively short lived) were until watching the programmes...……..and didn't realise that they were so young when they formed.

Not quite 64 - but the music that came from the 70's is defo my favourite

Free's excellent 3rd & biggest album

Brilliant band & a superb live act too!

Have every Free studio album plus the first three Bad Co albums

Free 'Live' is one of my favourite live sets of all-time. Andy Fraser's bass solo on 'Mr Big' is a gem

[The Subhuman]

Still Corners - Strange Pleasures, just to remember a hint of summer
Banks - III, stunningly soulful

[Sara]

Arguably their last truly great album Sara

I much prefer the later version of The Byrds with Clarence White.

[The Subhuman]

Also had TP&H's debut on this week plus the obligatory Hot Rats which gets a play most weeks

[1964white]

King Krule 'The Ooz'

A woozy, late night jazzy album which is a cross between Tom Waits, dub cuts bits of The Clash with the odd hip hop beat. Love Dum Surfer and some of the slow jams sound great on headphones
