[Columbia: released October, 1972.] This is the album in which Santana departed from a popular 'Latin rock' to a spiritual 'jazz fusion'. The compositions and the musicianship are stellar. Caravanserai laid the foundations for

[Columbia: released November, 1973.] which is the apex of a reborn, revamped, revitalised Santana (person & group). Welcome is an astonishing oeuvre - still richly rewarding after 50+ years.

Got these from a local shop (2ND & Charles) selling used music (CDs, Vinyl) and books, for $14.17 total (with taxes). Most of their CDs go for less than 4 bucks, and very rarely above 8, even on doubles so you can get some real gems there if you're lucky. Of course, you have to watch out for the F-condition CDs, which none of these are. You can easily examine the CDs, so you know visually exactly what you're getting before going to the register...



The Ray Charles CD I got came with an extra disc...



Anyway, I've been meaning to get both the Ray Charles CD forever, and the Carly Simom has been in my Amazon basket for a while as I wanted the song, You're So Vain. The Norah Jones is because I started collecting her older CDs.

I'm about to rip to PC and then listen to the discs later

Listened to the Carly Simon CD. Nothing earth shattering there for me, but did only get it for You're So Vain, which I like a lot, it was worth the $4 bucks.

Currently listening to Norah Jones, The Fall CD (2009). Once again, she doesn't disappoint. The one underlying thing I love about Norah is no matter what she puts out, there's this undertone of down-home country that I really like and find very relaxing. BTW, it's also why I'm a Sheryl Crow fan, but that's a different story.

Anyway, the only Norah Jones album I have that kind of departs from that is her Little Broken Hearts (2012) album produced by Danger Mouse. It's actually one of my favorite Norah Jones albums, but for a different reason, as it's a rather dark album and one that departs from her squeaky-clean persona. It's also a damn good album.

Ironically, listening to The Fall, musically, it kind reminds me of Little Broken Hearts, but lyrically, it's typical Norah, which I also love. Sound quality is excellent, and music is slightly bass heavy. Glad I got this one. Though I show the PC files, my listen was with the CD - Rotel CD Player > Pontus DAC > Artemis HPA > HD800S

I was in a Don Henley groove yesterday for about four hours. Maybe it's Tom's turn today.

Love this song when I've feeling... a bit aggressive and loud. Here's an alternate version that always brings a smile to my face.

Downtempo electronic music perfect for headphones. The transition starting min 3 is just amazing - for my tastes.
