Playlist 379 - Nov 24 2015

During this week's show, someone suggested there was a bit of a "hunkering down for winter" feel to the playlist. There could be something in that, although more on my mind at the time was the classic style of 60s/70s singer-songwriters.

So Harry Nilsson, an underrated (by some anyway) genius.
Steve Warner, a sumptuous songwriter, from 1979, reissued now by Earth.
Anderson, a Dublin artist somewhat following in their vaunted footsteps with his fine debut album.
Bacharach & David, via Jackie De Shannon, fit into this pattern somehow.
Julia Holter, imagine her singing Burt & Hal, I'd love that, gauzy and all.
Glen Campbell singing one of the many to die for Jimmy Webb songs he recorded.
New High Llamas, 70s AM radio refashioning.
Owensie, great hushed folk drones.

And Lee Hazlewood, the master of country lounge music (let's call it), from one of the great new Light in the Attic 1960s reissues.

More on these pages.
