I don’t know how long it is since I posted about new music – a long time – and the last new thing I loved was The Weepies Say I Am You.  It’s a beautiful record, so when I heard that a new one, Hideaway, was out in the US I got pretty excited.  I sampled it on their website and put an order in with Amazon. Now I wait.  Am I listening to anything else? Hmm. Because I’ve been feeling stressed and worn down a lot lately, I’ve been looking for something soothing and relaxing.  Shelby Lynne’s new cd, Just a Little Lovin, is remarkably civilised.  Apart from that, I’ve been turning back to early Van Morrison and John Martyn, both of which always seem to be remarkably restorative.
