Tenorio jr

There's a movie on Netflix, They Shot The Piano Player (2023). It's about the disappearance of Tenório Jr. I'm really surprised, I couldn't find a previous post about Tenório Jr. 

Born in 1940, he disappeared in 1976 when he was 34, just coming into his powers. He came out with his first and only album in Embalo in 1964 (Spotify). He's an accompanist on many other albums. I tracked down all the albums mentioned on the Wikipedia page on Spotify and made a playlist. Lots of the albums were not present, and some had to be hunted for, did not come up on the search for the title.

Indigo Girls have some solid hits. Galileo , Closer To Fine , Tiny Desk Concert . Tiny Desk Concerts are amazing. Power of Two on Spotify . ...

Laura Marling latest album Patterns in Repeat

I'm not sure if I've ever heard a song of Laura Marling , but I saw a review in The Guardian  of her latest album, Patterns in Repeat : "she is probably the closest artist her generation has to a Joni Mitchell, Joan Baez or Patti Smith". Wikipedia reports: Her sixth record, Semper Femina, was also nominated for a Grammy Award in the Best Folk Album category, as was Song for Our Daughter. Links: Her  Instagram , album on Spotify . Folk Alley Review : "patterns blossom and fade, reminding us of the cycles of life through which our family members have passed and through which we and future generations will also pass. Laura Marling’s airy and spacious Patterns in Repeat gently meditates on the cyclical character of life: the persistent departures and returns that animate our relationships." No Depression review: "Laura Marling’s latest album, Patterns in Repeat, was inspired by the birth of Marling’s daughter and the singer-songwriter’s initiation into mot...
