  1. Maria McKee, Maria McKee, 1989 on Geffen

    This was the debut solo album from the lead singer of Lone Justice. She’s joined here by Richard Thompson and Marc Ribot on guitar and Steve Wickham on fiddle.

    She’d go on to record six more solo records and some live recordings – but I don’t think any of them did very well in the US – she had more success in Europe.

    My copy—via Electric Fetus in Minneapolis MN—is a 1989 Specialty Records pressing, with original inner liner.

  2. The Waterboys, Out of All This Blue, 2017 on BMG

    Mike Scott, the creative force behind The Waterboys, has continued to make interesting music and evolve their sound – here incorporating more contemporary pop sounds. It’s a double album, with a third record of “blue variations.” Some of the tracks have lots of instrumentation (strings, brass, overdubs) and some seem to be recorded on the fly with just guitar or piano and drum machine with Scott singing solo.

    Among guests, there some fiddle via Steve Wickham (who played the violin on “Sunday Bloody Sunday”), brass and string arrangements by Trey Pollard, and bass from Patterson Hood’s dad David Hood.

    It’s a big sprawling three record collection but I love it. Still so much talent!

    My copy is the 3xLP Deluxe edition, via Crossroads Records in Portland OR.

    This is a really beautiful album by #SteveWickham. My longstanding appreciation for #TheWaterboys led me to this record, it's suiting my mood perfectly right now 💚
