I've always loved The Carpenters. This album has all the great hits, and then some!
I have none of their albums, but regularly enjoy their music, when it gets played on the radio. Karen Carpenter had a heavenly voice for sure and I always felt sorry for her personal sad fate.

Jeff Green - 'Jessica' (2009)
[Blocked Image: https://f4.bcbits.com/img/a2127163481_16.jpg]
A beautiful album written by Jeff. He dedicated the album to his daughter, Jessica, whom he and his wife never got to know because she was stillborn. This is not a woe is me album, but more a reflection of the beautiful little girl they had dreamed of watching grow up.

I also listen to music as often as I have the occasion to (3 - 4 albums a day, at weekends even more). But differently to Noni, COT or Ned Flanders123 I do not listen to so many bands and albums. I own around 1,200 albums. But there are only around 500 albums, I listen to regularly more or less and around 200, I know every note and line of. If I get a new album, I usually keep listening to it 10 or 15 times in a row until I know it quite well. I wonder if Noni, COT or Ned can do the same considering the huge amount of albums, they have. I guess there are different approaches to listening to music. One is, to get to know as much as possible, the other one is to really get into, what you have.
I don't mean to criticize, it is just an observation.
I took early retirement. Just don't tell my wife that my main reason was to find more time to listen to more music lol

His latest Elder Creek features Alan Reed (ex Pallas) and Sean Filkin's (ex Big Big Train). Cracking listen.

You've inspired me to play Elder Creek. I agree, it is a very good listen

IZZ - 'Crush Of Night' (2012)
[Blocked Image: https://www.moderndrummer.com/wp-content/uploads/Online_Review_IZZ.jpg]
Great American prog band. I've seen them in concert twice and each time was jaw dropping
They are similar to Glass Hammer in that they have female backup singers. If you like Glass Hammer, you will probably like IZZ.

We'll have to do something about that I have all their stuff minus the two Ampersands albums.
-
I have two of their albums, but they belong to the category of those, who dust in the shelf.

Just checked my iTunes:

I never bought these, they were given to me by a friend, who is a fan.
