October finished with me deep into a hard rock phase so it will be interesting to see how long this continues into November. There are still plenty of excellent albums I haven’t played recently that will be fresh to hear.
The danger is that I go too heavy, recoil in horror and head back to more gentle sounds.
As it happens, it was the release of the new Bob Dylan live album, Trouble No More which showcases his religious period at the end of the 1970s and beginning of the 1980s. This sent me back to the singer songwriting category, both for more live albums from Bob Dylan and other artists.
The release of Jeff Lynne’s live album full of ELO hits sent me on a bit of an art rock phase but then Malcolm Young of AC/DC died, giving me cause to turn back to hard rock for a short while but I was restless, dipping in and out of different types of music.
