Not much time for listening of late, my normal diet of sludgy stoned spaced out scuzz hasn't really been hitting the spot either, more melodious stuff has however, so...

LEE HAZLEWOOD - These Boots Are Made For Walkin' ( Complete MGM Recordings, ) - there's a lot i like about Lee, lyrics, vocal delivery and orchestration particularlee.

NANCY SINATRA - Boots - The Hazlewood songs really stand out, also covers the likes of As Tears Go By, Day Tripper, In My Room but these are far less to my taste, very MOR. Er, great cover photo though !

DR JOHN - Babylon- Great record in parts, and a bit underrated too ? The USA of the time comes in for a right slagging.

Otherwise, it's mostly been Radio 6, some reggae in the car and a bit of Bowie and Iggy.

All the best everyone.
