Great Songs From 2016

1/ David Bowie - 'I Can't Give Everything Away' [Blackstar]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OZscv36UUHo

2016's major moment in music is still by far the death of David Bowie, 11 months on.
One of the standout tracks from 'Blackstar' is his last ever song on album.

Pro tip: The harmonica at the beginning is similar to 'A New Career In A New Town' from 'Low'
and there's even a hint of Ronson/Ziggy guitar at the end.

3/ Solange - 'Cranes In The Sky' [A Seat At The Table]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S0qrinhNnOM

Beyonce, Beyonce, Beyonce.......well her sister has outshone the megastar, with this peach of a single.
A sultry, exquisite voice, conveying how she tries to ease her struggles against modern life.
A word for the spacious, but epic Soul production.

---------------------------------------------------

2/ Whitney - 'No Woman' [Light Upon The Lake]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CGKN6qiDqnk

Opening track from this Chicago band's debut album.
Love the arrangement on this electronic piano, strings, horns and retro-70s layered electric guitar,
but all thoroughly understated. 

---------------------------------------------------

1/ David Bowie - 'I Can't Give Everything Away' [Blackstar]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OZscv36UUHo

2016's major moment in music is still by far the death of David Bowie, 11 months on.
One of the standout tracks from 'Blackstar' is his last ever song on album.

Pro tip: The harmonica at the beginning is similar to 'A New Career In A New Town' from 'Low'
and there's even a hint of Ronson/Ziggy guitar at the end.

I heard The Monkees - 'Me & Magdalena' for the first time earlier today. It's really rather good.

Two teenage brothers called The Lemon Twigs brought out an album called Do Hollywood which is just incredible. The influences are all very 70's and the fact that it's all been written and performed by teenagers is just ridiculous (in a good way of course)

Returning to the Madchester / Baggy scene of the early 90s

The Mondays and the Stone Roses rightly took the plaudits for their classic albums,
but possibly the greatest indie-dance crossover track was this rarely heard gem:

1960s and Earlier

Today marks the 40th anniversary of the passing of the legendary Elvis Presley.

In 1962 Bob Dylan recorded a demo of 'Tomorrow Is A Long Time' and 4 years later Elvis covered it,
due to his love of it. It eventually appeared on the soundtrack album 'Spinout'

Dylan is quoted by Rolling Stone, that Presley's version of 'Tomorrow Is a Long Time'
was the cover of one of his songs that he 'treasured the most'

1970s

Played, written and produced by the boys from Chic, this could be just 'Thinking Of You' (ft.Sister Sledge)

One of the most magical intros in Pop history and a stunning bassline from Bernie Edwards,
bizarrely charted here, 5 years after first being released. Quite underrated.

Willie Nelson's 1975 album 'Red Headed Stranger' is just sublime.
It's a demo concept album, close cousin to Springsteen's 'Nebraska'
If you like that, seek it out.

Here's 'Time Of The Preacher'
