What are you listening to?

What I have noticed FOR ME is that, with remaining lifetime getting shorter, I am so eager to listen to new music that many of my decade long favorites fell down the back. But I know still the chords of all the good old stuff. To play them still would be another skill 😇
 
That Nancy Harrow album title has piped my interest 😄

Wild Women Don't Have the Blues Review by Scott Yanow​

Although singer Nancy Harrow made a strong impression with this debut recording (which has been reissued on CD), she did not lead another record date until 1978 other than a lesser-known effort for Atlantic in 1966. Obviously the years of obscurity were not deserved, for this set is a near-classic. Harrow is heard in her early prime singing such veteran songs as "All Too Soon," "On the Sunny Side of the Street," the seven-minute "Blues for Yesterday," and the title cut (originally done by Ida Cox in the 1920s). A more modern stylist (although influenced by Billie Holiday a little) than the material she performed at the time, Harrow is joined by such top mainstream players as trumpeter Buck Clayton (who provided the arrangements), tenorman Buddy Tate, trombonist Dickie Wells, and pianist Dick Wellstood. Highly recommended, Harrow's debut date has plenty of spirit and enthusiasm.

Started my New Releases Day with this AllMusic recommendation.
Not so easy listening! The Qobuz version with wired cans is great and impressive. But while this happens to me more and more often, the wireless Dolby version from A. is even more fun. 🤷🏻‍♂️
