Please leave a comment During a recent clean out of my loft I came across a CD containing a number of 'musical ideas' which were produced as part of a project I was involved in a number of years ago called 'Baby Boomerang'.  Each of the tracks were recorded using the Propellorhead Reason software.  Sadly, or possibly thankfully, only five of the tracks were salvageable.  Each of those tracks have been reproduced here as part of my Rambling Discoveries series.  I hope you get the same amount of enjoyment from listening to them as I did recording them  Thanks, Rod x

Please leave a comment What happens when one of the greatest voices in soul strips it all back to the blues? In 2004, Etta James released Blues to the Bone—a Grammy-winning album of raw, no-frills performances that proved the blues isn’t just history, it’s survival. In this episode, we dive into the stories behind the songs, the family collaboration that shaped the record, and why this late-career triumph still resonates today. Join me as we explore Etta James’ Blues to the Bone—an album that shows the blues never dies, it just gets deeper."
