This blog is intended to do "exactly what it says on the tin" so below are some of my 'Thoughts on Music'. They predominantly concern recent matters but will not always do so. I'll also happily turn to matters of the music industry more generally if and when I feel so inclined. So there!
If you don't agree with something please feel free to add a comment. They are moderated by me (so I'll get to read it) and I might even reply. Above all however just enjoy whatever music you like!

New Music 2018 - Part 7 - Cat Clyde - Ivory Castanets
This is another release from 2017 that has just appeared on my radar and it is the debut full-length from Cat Clyde who hails from Stratford, Ontario, Canada.
Ivory Castanets - Cat Clyde (RED distribution, 5 May 2017).
Cat Clyde - Ivory Castanets:
Sheets Of Green
The Meadow
Running Water
Like A Wave
Heavy Weight
Mama Said
The Man I Loved Blues
Move Along
Walkin' Down The Road
Chimes In The Night
I have listened to the album end-to-end three times this evening. This is fairly unusual behaviour even by my own standards. It is certainly somewhat old-time but that's not really the issue here because the combination of voice, guitar (sometimes slide-acoustic) and keyboards is sublime. The production is not lo-fi but neither is it polished to a point that it might impact on the experience. I'm not going to select a track from the album just now. Instead, and because I suggest that it indicates her desire to push on, this is a track that has been released since then.
The River - Cat Clyde (November 2017).
What we need now is to see her touring over here in the UK.
