Jacques the Kipper's recent Desert Island Discesque post at JC's place had me reaching to the shelves for some Beth Orton and in particular Central Reservation.
It is a fairly recent acquisition and one which I have to confess that I have only given a cursory listen up until now.
Needless to say that after a listen in the car the other day I am now pretty much hooked.
A couple of songs for your listening pleasure.
One thing bugging me is that I'm sure I've heard Pass in Time recently but not by Beth. I see it was written by Dr Robert of The Blow Monkeys but it was not by them either. Can anyone out there shed any light on this?
Beth Orton - Sweetest Decline
Beth Orton - Pass in Time
Here cover of I Wish I Never Saw The Sunshine, originally by the Ronettes is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteBut that's on the previous album.
ReplyDeleteSome of Beth's stuff is really great.
