One of the great things about zikzak is that it gives me the opportunity to ask people who's taste I really respect for recommendations. Jack Rollo is one of those people. Serious music sleuths will know him from the radio show "Time Is Away" on NTS, where he partners with Elaine Tierney to produce one of the must listen hours of radio. They produced a fantastic album entitled "Ballads" that came out this year on A Colourful Storm.

I’m liking these posts and checking out lots of new (to me) music. I do think it’s a shame your guests haven’t taken the opportunity to say a word or two about what they’ve chosen, but excellent work in getting the lists in the first place!
Brilliant. Loving these posts PJ.
