Genre: All over the shop - there's jazz, rock, power pop, indie rock, world, and more
Places I remember: Free with Mojo #302
Fab, and all the other pimply hyperboles: Elvis Costello - Stripping Paper. Each time I heard this it got better and better!
Gear costume: Kamasi Washington - Will You Sing
Active compensatory factors: I'm wary of best of year sampler collections. But I trust Mojo. So I went into this with pragmatic high hopes.
Some heavy hitters make an appearance: Elvis Costello is in good form on Stripping Paper; Ry Cooder; Cat Power, Christine and the Queens, and Kamasi Washington are on it in more ways than one.
Everything Kamasi seems to do is massive and Will You Sing, positioned at track 8 is epic! A mountain of sound!
Overall the CD's like 15 tracks from my ipod shuffle and works somehow by throwing disparate sounds together.
Where do they all belong? Not sure 2018 has been a stellar year musically but Will You Sing seems to represent the possibility of producing order from the chaotic world of 2018.
