Still sort of mystery (to me) why this release didn't receive more acclaim in 2023 ....  Billy Valentine strolls soulfuly through sort of "Alternate American Songbook" (Curtis Mayfield, Gil Scott-Heron, Stevie Wonder and Prince to name a few) ....

I thought that too. I am not a huge fan but it seemed very on point at the time.

Mysterious. . . no promotion of this would be the easy answer. It's a good album indeed.

Nubya Garcia “Source”

I am finally listening to Nubya Garcia, the cd that so many were thrilled by.

It’s good. Maybe it will rub off on me and charm me more. But it’s good.

Flora Purim “Everyday, Everynight” Warner Bros. LP

This LP sounds so much better than any cd version I’ve heard. . . which is rarer in my experience than some might suspect.

I’ve loved this record since it was released. . . Raulzinho!
