Wrecking Ball
Also, her new radio show on Apple Music 1 is great.
I heard the studio release of this on the radio yesterday and it sent me back to this, which is easily my favourite version.

2012’s MMXII is one of my favourite, recent KJ albums. Deffo a later-career effort but the first half is outstanding.
EDIT: The 1987 12" version of ‘Sanity’ remains one of the life-tracks - I may even have the vinyl in a box somewhere. Brighter Than a Thousand Suns was class.
Well, that’s an unexpected treat for Boxing Day.
I was 15 when this was released. As I get older, I need the bright light of day and to be on a very even keel to listen to ‘A Plague of Lighthouse Keepers’
‘No time now for contrition

Sadly, a band I never got to see play live.
I was lucky enough to see them as I’m older than a lot on this site. Think it was the Marquee Club.

I’m really interested in this show - I’ll need to check it out!
Over the years I’ve heard countless versions of this traditional Irish song. I stumbled upon this earlier when I was searching for something else and this is exquisite.
The harmonies are divine. Superb simple arrangement, masterful accompaniment and great guitar tone. Just amazing.
