I tend to trawl back to the nethermost regions of the previous century for my mixtapes, so for a change, I will restrict myself to Cds that have been released in the previous year. Being me though, old bastards will appear liberally throughout the mix I expectl. I have not had much money to spend on cds this year, so the purchases I have made have tended to be of favorite artists. I like to think I am never closed to new things, and my horizon has certainly expanded since I landed on planet MTC, but that may not neccessarily be apparent in this selection.
By the way, the cover is Robert (Junior) Lockwood, one of the great losses to music this year. He was the step-son of Robert Johnson, and one of the last links to Johnson and the era of delta blues.

Track 1 from Modern Times
Length: 00:05:55 Year: 2006 |

Track Description:
The Zim in his rootsy almost rockabilly mood, chugging along with a little ditty that seems to indicate an obsession with Alicia Keys. (he's been looking for her clear through Tennessee.) For Dylan to be making any kind of new music 45 years after his initial recordings is little short of amazing. For those recordings to be so fine is almost beyond words! "I've been sitting down studying the art of love, I think it'll fit me like a glove." Look out Alicia! SHOW LESS

Track 1 from Someone To Drive You Home
Length: 00:03:05 Year: 2006 |
|
|
Track Description:
From lust in an old but wonderful man's head, to lust in the movies. This is a fairly new release from back home in the UK. A friend sent it to me via Santa this week and I have only heard it a few times. They sound pretty fresh to me, and a certainly an antidote to that other fairly new band from Sheffield, The Arctic Monkeys. This song is about Edie Sedgewick, topical with the bio pic on it's way!

Track 6 from On An Island
Length: 00:04:24 Year: 2006 |
|
|
Track Description:
Yes, it is old bastard time again. Guitarist Gilmour of Pink Floyd fame makes album that sounds like Pink Floyd. pro Roger Waters fans have criticsed this album because Gilmour isn't pissed off with anything, but sings contentedly about his life and family. Well, I am all for a little misery with the next man (particlarly if the next man has the name Cohen or Cave) but parts of this are joyous. Gilmour has one of the most recognisible lad guitar styles, well to the fore on this bluesy song. SHOW LESS

Level 13
This mix of yours is mighty righteous. A lot of these artists released excellent albums this year, but alas, 80 minutes isn't all that much time to do justice to the abundance of good tunes that came out this year. Regardless, nice leadoff track with Dylan and bonus point for including Gilmour. Goldfrapp was a nice surprise, too.
