BOB MARLEY & THE WAILERS "kaya" vinyl, 1978
tenth album....
only one I own except for a compilation....
lots of good stuff on this album, nothing I dislike....
love about half the album...
song themes are similar to those on the Tosh album,
but to be honest, "legalize it" by Tosh is a far superior album IMO...
favourite tune, another one for MH to roll that early morning number to.....
Easy skanking (skankin' it easy)
Easy skanking (skankin' it slow)
Easy skanking (skankin' it easy)
Easy skanking (skankin' it slow).
Excuse me while I light my spliff (spliff)
Good God, I gotta take a lift: (lift)
From reality I just can't drift (drift)
That's why I am staying with this riff. (riff)
Take it easy (easy skankin')
Lord, I take it easy! (easy skankin')
Take it easy (easy skankin')
Got to take it easy (easy skankin').
See: we're takin' it easy (ooh-wah-da da-da)
We taking it slow, (ooh-wah-da da-da)
Takin' it easy (easy)
Got to take it slow (slow-slow)
So take it easy (easy skankin' da-da-da-da-da-da)
Wo-oh, take it easy (easy skankin')
Take it easy (easy skankin' da-da-da-da-da-da)
Take it easy. (easy skankin')
Excuse me while I light my spliff (spliff)
Oh, God, I gotta take a lift: (lift)
From reality I just can't drift (drift)
That's why I am staying with this riff. (riff)
Take it easy (takin' it easy)
Got to take it easy (takin' it slow)
Take it easy (takin' it easy)
Skanky, take it easy (takin' it slow).
Tell you what:
Herb for my wine (ooh-wa-da-da-da)
Honey for my strong drink (ooh-wa-da-da-da)
Herb for my wine (ooh-wa-da-da-da)
Honey for my strong drink.
I shake it easy (takin' it easy)
Skanky, take it easy (skankin' it slow)
Take it (takin' it easy) easy
Take it (skankin' it slow) easy
Take it easy (takin' it easy)
Oh-oh-ooh! (skankin' it slow)
Little bit easier (takin' it easy)
Skanky, take it easy (skankin' it slow).
Take it easy! Take it easy! Take it easy!

KEITH URBAN "ripcord" cd, 2016:
yeah, yeah, I know...
but I was challenged by a work colleague to listen to the six Urban albums he owns,
and I don't back down from any challenge anywhere, anytime with anything!...
so,
album number ten for Keith, first of his for me...
its not country, its 'alternative', and im cool with that, just wish they wouldn't call him country!...
first track starts off and I think im listening to Neil Finn... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=msiobQlFKnw
second track starts and I think im listening to George Michael.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gdu8M2val_w
the third track reminds me of Savage Garden initially... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PMqUat-Oqsk
love all three of those tracks...
by track number five we get some rap courtesy of Pitbull...WTF!
at least the other featured artist on another track fits the bill in Carrie Underwood....
the one other song I love is a ballad in the style of Chris Isaaks, which happens to be my favourite on here...
all up, four tracks I love, eight I like and one (the rap thing) which I dislike...
so I guess that means I LIKE THIS ALBUM
favourite track: superb live clip from Grand Old Opry

![[Image: 220px-KeithUrbanGetCloser.jpg]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:KeithUrbanGetCloser.jpg)
KEITH URBAN "get closer" cd, 2010
eighth studio set from New Zealander Urban...
some country/southern rock on here, a couple of banjo tunes
and several ballads...
probably three of the ten tracks would pass as country for me, the rest
have to go in alternative...
four singles off it, three of which made it to #1 on the US Country charts...
Wiki shows eight tracks on the album, I have ten on this copy but it doesn't state
its a "deluxe" version of the album so im assuming AU/US track listings are different
for some stupid reason...
another good solid album from Keith and my opinion of him as an artist
is starting to change rather quickly because I LIKE THIS ALBUM
favourite track, one of the ballads and #1 hits off it and a brilliant live clip to go with it...
RE: What Are You Listening To? - SteveO - 05-02-2019
I finally got to listen to the new alternative band from London, Wolf Alice ! It takes exceptional talent to play live and this band can deliver ! A fresh new sound and the splendid bonus is a female lead singer and guitarist !
RE: What Are You Listening To? - CRAZY-HORSE - 05-02-2019
^^
five or so years ago Paul Weller named Wolf Alice one of his 'best new artists' list...
I listened to their first few singles from 2013/14, wasn't overly impressed but they received a lot of
exposure from that Weller comment.
I did listen/watch your linked track SteveO, and can see why people like them but theyre not my cup of tea...

REGURGITATOR "jingles: the best of..." cd, 2002:
Aussie alternative band...
very eclectic as they dabble in everything from operatic
through to hip-hop...
more than often their lyrics are tongue in cheek..
I guess a comparison could possibly be Weezer???
anyway, a pretty good compilation..
I LIKE THIS ALBUM:
favourite track is the Prince funk sounding " ! (song formerly known as)"
which as you can tell, the title is taking the proverbial P out of his symbol name change...
RE: What Are You Listening To? - CRAZY-HORSE - 21-02-2019
![[Image: 220px-Nick_Cave_%26_the_Bad_Seeds_-_Dig%...verart.JPG]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Nick_Cave_%26_the_Bad_Seeds_-_Dig,_Lazarus,_Dig!!!_coverart.JPG)
NICK CAVE & THE BAD SEEDS " dig!!!!, Lazerus dig!!!" cd, 2008:
fourteenth Bad Seeds album...
more radio friendly and commercial sounding than a lot of their material
but still unmistakeably Nick Cave from the get-go...
I find it so hard picking a favourite track from this album, as I do with all of
his albums...
the last great Cave album IMO...
I LOVE THIS ALBUM:
the lead off single...
about a cult leader who fell from grace..

KEVIN "BLOODY" WILSON" dilligaf" cd, 2006:
Aussie comedian specialising in lewd, crude, and dirty songs...
tenth studio album of eleven or twelve...
I own probably half of his albums...
some of his material is so disgusting I actually skip the tracks, other are just lewd
and crude with funny elements, and theres always three or four on an album that I find absolutely
hilarious, they tend yo be the satire songs or the lyrical changed songs...
the title dilligaf stands for "Do I Look Like I Give A F...."
I do not like this album...
favourite on here for me is a satire of "house of the rising sun" , theres no foul language in this one
its just a funny song IMO, worth a listen if you want a quick laugh...

DAVE EDMUNDS "twangin' " cd, 1981
Dave's tenth career album and last to feature Rockpile on tracks....
basically a covers album, but then again, most of his albums had at least five or six
covers on them anyway...
has that distinct Rockpile/Edmunds/Lowe sound throughout...
nothing really bad on here, but nothing great neither...
Dave produced Stray Cats debut album in 1981 also and those cats are his backing band
on one track here, the George Jones cover "the race is on"...
its not the best track on here but i'll post it because of Stray Cats...
I LIKE THIS ALBUM

![[Image: 220px-One_Nil_%28Neil_Finn_album_-_cover_art%29.jpg]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:One_Nil_(Neil_Finn_album_-_cover_art).jpg)
NEIL FINN "one nil" cd, 2001:
second solo set from Finn...
more experimental than his first set and for the most part a million miles
from Crowded House, still sounds like Neil Finn without sounding like him...
arty in places, folky in others, and still alternative for the remainder...
good solid album...
I LOVE THIS ALBUM
superb live version of the lead off track:
