Jimmy Cliff: (30 July 1944 - 24 November 2025) Anthology 2003
So Kostas responds in kind and posts an anthology compilation of our dear Jimmy Cliff, UK based since the late sixties he remained an icon of Reggae all his life and possessed the great gift of a stunningly beautiful voice read on here . . . . . . . our thoughts are with his widow and his children
James Chambers (30 July 1944 – 24 November 2025), known professionally as Jimmy Cliff, was a Jamaican ska, rocksteady, reggae and soul musician, multi-instrumentalist, singer and actor. He is considered one of Jamaica's most celebrated musicians, and has been credited with helping to popularise reggae music internationally. At the time of his death, he was the only living reggae musician to hold the Order of Merit, the highest honour that can be granted by the Jamaican government for achievements in the arts and sciences. He was also nominated for the Grammy Awards seven times, winning twice. A shining star of reggae since the early '60s, Jimmy Cliff was one of the most powerful factors in bringing Jamaican music to worldwide popularity with both his powerful songs of peace and unity and his lead role in the 1972 film The Harder They Come. Cliff's star power in the movie might have been his most visible contribution to making the entire world aware of reggae, but his music remained his primary focus for decades afterward.
If you don’t really have anything you can't go far wrong with this two CDs anthology with 42 faultless tracks

Tori Amos - PBS Soundstage Chicago USA 2003 | Albums That Should Exist,
Tori Amos - PBS Soundstage, WTTW Studios, Chicago, IL, 5-2-2003
Amos had most of her commercial success in the 1990s and early 2000s. All five of her 1990s albums reached Platinum status (sales of a million or more) is the U.S. Her last Gold status album (sales of half a million or more) was in 2002, with "Scarlet's Walk," the album she was touring to support at the time of this concert. Also, if you look at the crowd-sourced ratings of her albums at rateyourmusic.com, her albums through "Scarlet's Walk" are her most highly rated ones. So this was a good time for a Soundstage episode from her.
The music here is unreleased. The sound quality is excellent.
This album is 59 minutes long.

Our Ali in Oz : Alison Moyet - Australia 2025 | Albums That Should Exist
Alison Moyet - Plenary Hall, Melbourne, Australia, 6-1-2025
I don't post music from the recent past like this very often. One of the main reasons for that is sound quality. One can find a steady steam of audience recordings of concerts that happened mere days ago, but I try to avoid audience boots due to the sound quality issue. However, this one is different. It's a rare IEM (in ear monitor) recording. That's a broadcast within the concert venue so the band members can hear what the others are doing. Somehow, someone made a bootleg out of that here. The sound quality is like an excellent soundboard or FM radio broadcast, which is rare for a concert only a few months old.
Moyet was touring to support her new album "Key." This was her first album in seven years. It mostly consists of rerecordings of songs from earlier in her career, but given different arrangements, and most of the songs are deep cuts.
While the sound quality is great overall, there was one problem: for her banter between songs, there was a lot of reverb or echo on her voice. So I ran all the banter tracks through the Adobe voice enhancement program, which brings clarity to voices.
This album is an hour and 35 minutes long.

John Prine: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert March 2018
Again someone posted a clip of Summers End from this mini set from John Prine at Bob Boilen’s Tiny Desk Concert over at the redoubtable NPR . . . . I was going to start the day with a frivolous funny Snoopy series but on hearing Jimmy Cliff had died I was in no mood to. So I will sign off the day with another favourite pioneer we miss sorely . . . . . . night all stay safe and cuddle up if you can thew loves are running. . . . . .
So here is the full set
March 12, 2018 | Bob Boilen -- "An American treasure came to the Tiny Desk and even premiered a new song. John Prine is a truly legendary songwriter. For more than 45 years the 71-year-old artist has written some of the most powerful lyrics in the American music canon, including "Sam Stone," "Angel From Montgomery," "Hello In There" and countless others. John Prine's new songs are equally powerful and he opens this Tiny Desk concert with "Caravan of Fools," a track he wrote with Pat McLaughlin and Dan Auerbach. Prine adds a disclaimer to the song saying, "any likeness to the current administration is purely accidental." That song, and his second tune, the sweet tearjerker "Summer's End," are from John Prine's first album of new songs in 13 years, The Tree of Forgiveness, produced by Dave Cobb. It was recorded with his longtime band in Nashville's legendary RCA Studio A. Guests include Brandi Carlile, Jason Isbell and Amanda Shires. There's even a songwriter's co-credit with Phil Spector. For this Tiny Desk Concert John Prine also reaches back to his great "kiss-off" song from 1991 called "All the Best," and then plays "Souvenirs," a song intended for his debut full-length but released the following year on his 1972 album Diamonds in the Rough. It's just one of the many sentimental ballads Prine has gifted us. Over the years, his voice has become gruffer and deeper, due in part to his battle with squamous cell cancer on the right side of his neck, all of which makes this song about memories slipping by feel all the more powerful and sad." "Broken hearts and dirty windows Make life difficult to see That's why last night and this mornin' Always look the same to me I hate reading old love letters For they always bring me tears I can't forgive the way they rob me Of my sweetheart's souvenirs"
Set List:
"Caravan of Fools"
"Summer's End” (John Prine, Pat McCoughlan)
"All the Best"
"Souvenirs"
MUSICIANS
John Prine, Jason Wilber, David Jacques, Kenneth Blevins
