Kevin Ayers / Joy of a Toy
Leonard Cohen / Live Songs
Johnnie Frierson / HAVE YOU BEEN GOOD TO YOURSELF
Ebo Taylor / My Love and Music
Alice Coltrane / Huntington Ashram Monastery
Joanna Brouk / Hearing Music
Craig Leon / Nommos and Visiting
Sir Douglas Quintet / The Best of Doug Sahm and the Sir Douglas Quintet
Robert Stillman / Rainbow
Selda / ST


Kevin Ayers / Joy of a Toy
I also really loved listening to his criminally overlooked album Yes We Have No Mañanas (So Get Your Mañanas Today)


Leonard Cohen / Live Songs
Such a huge loss. This song slays me. 


Johnnie Frierson / HAVE YOU BEEN GOOD TO YOURSELF
Johnnie was the brother of legendary R&B singer Wendy Rene. This album compiles cassette demos he made following his time in Vietnam and the loss of his son. Incredibly direct, raw and uplifting music. 


Ebo Taylor / My Love and Music
Just came across this one on a trip to LA. Solid Ghanaian highlife funk.


Alice Coltrane / Huntington Ashram Monastery
A perfect record to start the day.


Joanna Brouk / Hearing Music
Beautiful compilation of ambient, minimal and early electronic compositions from the 70’s and 80’s by this Bay area composer and artist.


Craig Leon / Nommos and Visiting
Two excellent records originally released on John Fahey’s Takoma label. Tribal music vis a vis drum machines and synths.


Sir Douglas Quintet / The Best of Doug Sahm and the Sir Douglas Quintet
Tex-Mex garage rock from the 60’s and 70’s.


Robert Stillman / Rainbow
Pastoral jazz by this talented multi instrumentalist.


Selda / ST
Ripping Turkish Psych
