VERY GOOD.

Listen to the new album, Minute By Minute, from James Hunter — an exclusive first listen at WSJ.

He’ll be playing at The Bell House, Brooklyn, on February 27 and I’m catching him in Portland on March 10. More tour dates here.

Man do I love this. I love it so much that I wish I was sitting next to each one of you while you listen so that I could keep nudging you with my elbow saying see? see?!

Nina’s wise and funny chatter in the beginning and then the beautiful singing and poetic words that follow. Who Knows Where the Time Goes was written by English folk singer Sandy Denny. Nina’s version was recorded live for her 1970 Black Gold album.

Like it or not, I love this! Mariah Carey with Jimmy Fallon and The Roots and some kids sing “All I Want For Christmas Is You” using schoolroom instruments.

This is one of my many Aretha favorites. It builds slowly and irresistibly. From the 1972 soundtrack Sparkle. Enjoy!
