Sad to hear of the passing of long time Richard Thompson backing musician Pete Zorn. A highly talented multi instrumentalist of the highest order, he has played on countless RT recordings over the years, as well as being a band member for many years.

On CD..



This young Irish singer/guitarist obviously listened to a lot of Bonnie Raitt growing up, this is a lovely album.

Well I've got carpets, curtains, settees, a book case, an even bigger bookcase full of CDs, and a nice leather easy chair. In other words, a normal sort of front room, and my music sounds good enough to me. If I even had to contemplate some of those hideous looking, and expensive, "acoustic tre...

Great sounding 45 rpm double vinyl which helps. I can't agree with you about his 2000+ output. Sweet War...

Hi Jim

Mathewpiano on WHF (one of the few on there whose opinion I rate) is a firm advocate of your Denon CDP and for the money it's a no-brainer really. Enjoy!
