Really enjoyed the listens...it's led me here FRKWYS Vol. 8 - Blues Control & Laraaji
Well I'll second all those Laraaji albums but I especially get a kick out of this one and indeed the who idea of those FRHWYS releases where two generations of musicians working in roughly the same area make music together - in this case for a monster jam!
Find You Love is the new album from Cam Butler. Comprising a mini orchestra including a fourteen-piece string section, guitars, keyboards, drums and bass, Find Your Love is full of lush textures and sweeping melodies. Find Your Love is Cam's most exciting work to date, with a sound unlike anything else.
"In making Find Your Love, I wanted to create an album which has a thrilling and exciting ensemble sound. I did this by composing for, and recording, a fourteen-piece string orchestra with a live backing band. My unique electric guitar sound is a major feature of Find Your Love too, helping to create an emotive and personal world.
I have been working for many years on a dream of a sound that combines strings, guitars and rock'n'roll rhythm sections. I think that Find Your Love is the most successful realisation of this sound and is my small way of bringing some music into the world that is alive, rich and full of feeling."

And I just gave Bird is the Worm its 1000th "like".
1st Rotary Connection LP - one of the top 50 alternative top 50 records of the 60's, according to the Vinyl Factory.
Brave New World - loved this album since I bought it through the Record Club of America all those many years ago.
Library sale find. One of relatively few sessions led by bassist Eddie Gomez; Chick Corea on piano
Sailor, Your Saving Grace and Children of The Future are also really outstanding albums.
ETA: the track from YSG is with the most brilliant piano solo by the late Nicky Hopkins
Good crazy sort-of Indo-jazz album from late last year. She gives that harmonium a workout. http://www.amirthakidambi.com/
