SOUL SURMISE

STOCKI'S FAVE 50 RECORDS OF 2024

 

50 - MARY COUGHLAN - REPEAT REWIND

That blues Irish voice always delivers and this time we get the special treat of Brian Wilson's God Only Knows.

 

49 - VAN MORRISON - DUETS AND NEW ARRANGEMENTS

Oh some won't like some of the rejigs but the voice is still cutting it and he does Janice and ny song Someone Like You with Joss Stone!

 

48 - ELBOW - AUDIO VERTIGO

No my favourite Elbow arrangements but you can't Hide Guy Garvey's voice and poetry. 

 

47 - DEA MATRONA - FOR YOUR SINS

Those Northern Irish young women make a rockin' little debut record. Check the acoustic versions ep too.

 

46 - FONTAINES DC - ROMANCE

Ireland's finest pump it out with a little more sophistication.

 

45 MORGAN HARPER JONES - UP TO THE GLASS

This woman makes a great debut with a lot of help from Iain Archer.

 

44 - WAXAHATCHEE - TIGER’S BLOOD

She'll be higher in lots of other Best of the Years 

 

43.  WILLIE NELSON - LAST LEAF ON THE TREE/ THE BORDER

The man is in his 90s and realised both these records in 2024. I put them both at the same number. Check out the cover of Warren Zevon's Keep Me In Your Heart on the former and the latter's title track written by Rodney Crowell.

 

42. MAGGIE ROGERS - DON'T FORGET ME

More good songs from a wonderful songwriter.

 

41 - PAUL WELLER - 66

State of the man message at his age in every genre he has ever played.

 

40. GILLIAN WELSH/DAVID RAWLINGS - WOODLAND

This might have been higher had I got more familiar.

 

39. DAVID GILMOUR - LUCK AND STRANGE

Never a Pink Floyd fan but I like a good David Gilmour record and Luck and Strange is a good...

 

38. A LAZARUS SOUL - NO FLOWERS GROW IN CEMENT GARDENS

Dublin band that Christy Moore is covering these days. Gritty Dub poetry in a sound between The Pogues and The Sawdoctors!

 

37. STARLESS - RETURNING HOME

Orchestrated Scottish pop from Paul McGeechan who played keyboards with Love & Money and can cajole the like of Paul Buchanan, Julie Fowlis and Chris Thomson to be his voices.

 

36. NORAH JONES - VISIONS

A lighter quirkier underfoot for another enjoyable Norah record.. 

 

35. JAMES MCCARTNEY - BEAUTIFUL NOTHING

Paul son gets a lot of grief but he can play guitar and then with an artists bent he can collage melodies and skilful playing into what might be one of his dad's experiential "McCartney" projects.

 

34. DAWES - OH BROTHER

Goldsmith can write a thoughtful  song and the band can deliver.

 

33. PHIL MADEIRA - FUNKY COVERS

Madeira is a sought after session player, a maker of Emmylou's Red Dirt Boys. Here he takes some of our favourites and shifts there arrangements with tasty impact.

 

32. THE PEARLFISHERS - MIX TAPES FOR GIRLS

Glasgow's Davy Scott delivers more Beatles meets Beach Boys pop with underlying social observations. Makes you wonder who you made Mix Tapes for!

 

31. LAURA MARLING - PATTERNS IN REPEAT

Laura in a quiet thoughtful record of mother hood and that certain age. 

 

30. RICHARD HAWLEY - IN THIS CITY THEY CALL YOU LOVE

That smooth deep voice with 50's guitar twang on songs all about his hometown Sheffield, if Sheffield was located somewhere between Memphis and Nashville.

 

29. THE SECRET SISTERS - MIND, MAN, MEDICINE

Those sisters with the harmonies and songs are growing up and the works grows stronger by the album.

 

28. THE BREEZE - THIN GROUND

Northern Irish supergroup trawl the inspiration of their Neil Young fandom.

 

27. JIM CUDDY - ALL THE WORLD FADES AWAY

Canadian and half the Blue Rodeo songwriting team turns out a strong set of songs, finely honed.

 

26.SKERRYVORE - TEMPUS

Stepping into the Runrig gap with aplomb, my daughter grew up in a house called Skerryvore. The music lived up to its place in our lives.

 

25. CHRISTY MOORE - A TERRIBLE BEAUTY

His best in a while, taking on as he does every political issue around Ireland with a poignant compassion for the humane.

 

24. DAVID C CLEMENTS - THE GARDEN

Took awhile for young Clements to squeeze out his sophomore record. With his melodies and that voice it was of course worth the wait.

 

23. THE 4 OF US - CRESCENT NIGHTS

The Newry brothers with a strong collection of songs about the heart, their heartland and beyond.

 

22. RAY LAMONTAGNE - LONG WAY HOME

Like the beautiful and peaceful  sounds of Woodstock, Van and The Band. So close to the early 70s vibe to almost be gazing into law suits.

 

21. LONE JUSTICE

Unfinished Maria McKee songs of the 90s, recorded by an unfinished band from the 80s and sounding right here in 2024. Band members Etzioni and Hedgecock put it altogether beneath that Maria McKee voice. 

 

20. HOZIER - UNREAL UNEARTH UNENDING

Sometimes Hozier is just too much and cluttered for me but oh my when he hits the spot as on Too Sweet oh he really hits it.

 

19 T-BONE BURNETT - THE OTHER SIDE

Great to have this man back recording his own stuff, instead of making the world's finest film soundtracks. God haunted too. Nice.

 

18. GAVIN FRIDAY - ECCE HOMO

Like a magnum opus where Friday blends cabaret and disco and Nietzsche and the Bible with all that Cedarwood Road artistic muse. 

 

17. MARTYN JOSEPH - THIS IS WHAT I WANT TO SAY

Always thought provoking for head and heart and soul. More humane songs in a world losing its.

 

16. BRIAN HOUSTON - BELFAST TROUBADOUR

I loved these Houston songs that had this amazing blend of 50's cowboy songs with a futuristic twist. Yippy Ky Yay for instance! Catchy as anything you'll hear this year.

 

15. CARA DILLON - COMING HOME

Cara writes poetry and spoken words it over some lovely tunes. All about growing up in the north west of our wee place. There's a book too!

 

14. BEN GLOVER - AND THE SUN BREAKS THROUGH THE SKY

The Glenarm boy in Nashville with another sublime collection of songwriting, some with Mary Gauthier and Gretchen Peters.

 

13. DANA MASTERS - REAL GOOD MOOD

One of my favourite voices debut. Gentle jazz meets gospel with the mighty Cian Boylan on piano and co-writes.

 

12. CONCHUR WHITE - SWIRLING VIOLETS

Incredible debut full of ear worm melodies and all kinds of human emotions.  From Portadown for goodness sake.

 

11. AIRBORNE TOXIC EVENT - GLORY

More great songs of feeling and guitar fascination from the extraordinary human that is Mikel Jollett. His own Thunder Road and the title track are good places to start.

 

10. MICHAEL KIWANUKA - SMALL CHANGES

Kiwanuka shifts pace and mood for an album that I described as “Bill Withers meets John Martyn”.

9. BONNY LIGHT HORSEMAN - KEEP ME N YOUR MIND/SEE YOUR FREE

A favourite band of mine recorded this one in a west Cork pub and they are not even Irish. Anais Mitchell gets me every time and this is her best outlet.

 

8. VILLAGERS - THAT GOLDEN AGE

My spiritual song of the year was I Want What I Don’t Need that surprised me on RTE’s Culture Night and that led me back into the understated wonder of Conor O’Brien’s social and soul observations.

READ MY REVIEW

 

7. SNOW PATROL - THE FOREST IS THE PATH

First record without Jonny and Pablo is littered with stadium anthems and clever word work from Gary Lightbody who we are proud to call one of our own. Green vinyl for the Irish!

MY REVIEW HERE

 

6. JOY OLADOKUN - OBSERVATIONS FROM A CROWDED ROOM

Interesting album about the deconstruction of faith without letting it go but finding something, somewhere... and doing is so creatively.

MY REVIEW HERE

 

5. COLDPLAY - MOON MUSIC

Feel uncool having Coldplay in my top 10 but justice demands it. It would only be prejudice not to. From the collaborative rhythms of We Pray to the classic ballad of All My Love (watch the video with Dick Van Dyke) with all kinds of Moon Music moods in between...and even the hopefulness of Maya Angelou... 

MY REVIEW HERE

 

4. OISIN LEECH - COLD SEA 

The first solo record from the Lost Brothers’ man, took him to the beautifully wild Donegal and he captured the rugged refreshment of that sense of its otherness stupendously.

MY REVIEW HERE

 

3. MADELEINE PEYROUX - LET’S WALK

Spent the summer listening to these subtle grooves of spiritual rhythm. Peyroux throws the Gospel, politics, race and environment into her jazz folk blender and even adds heavy sprinklings of humour.  

MY REVIEW HERE

 

2. NICK CAVE - WILD GOD

God’s spokesman for the generation, finding joy in sorrow and creating amazing music that only Cave can imagine and summon.

READ MY REVIEW

 

1.BLUE ROSE CODE - BRIGHT CIRCUMSTANCE

My act of the year. Thank you Doug Gay for sending me a video of Don’t Be Afraid and Stuart Dennis for tipping me off to Edina. Caledonian Soul with magnificent writing and as main man Ross Wilson described it, “The biggest theme that’s emerged (by accident) is one of Faith with a capital F”.

RORY GALLAGHER STATUE AT THE ULSTER HALL

I wrote a blog about the news that there was to be a statue of Rory Gallagher erected at The Ulster Hall in Belfast back in 2016. The good news is that it was unveiled today - January 4, 2025. I am delighted. It is well deserved. His love for Belfast and Belfast's love for him.

The Troubles rarely touched my hometown of Ballymena. Where we were impacted was in the fact that I rarely travelled the thirty miles to Belfast AND… that few rock bands came to Belfast in the 70s. Even our international soccer team played their home matches in England. Belfast was out of bounds.

One man was always dependable though. Rory Gallagher played a stint at the Ulster Hall every turn of the year. Year after year. He was your rock concert anchor when everything was being tossed around in the stormy seas around us.

So… as a seventeen year old in January 1979 Rory Gallagher became my first ever rock concert. The gig was actually delayed for a few days because of some weather issue with the Stranraer to Larne Ferry. In the end it was a Saturday matinee performance. I went up in the bus with my mate Rab McConaghy, Frank Delargy and Michael Hyndman. And it was epic!

Ballyshannon born Cork man, Rory Gallagher is an under rated legend of rock music. A guitar player of astounding genius and dexterity he could finger dance on an acoustic guitar like the very very best but he he is probably remembered visually and sonically for the hard rock blues sounds that he emitted from his well-worn sunburst 1961 Stratocaster. That that guitar was born the same year as me is not lost on me!

Gallagher could make that thing talk and sing and rant and rage. At that first gig in 1979 Rory was touring Photo-Finish and probably for subjective reasons that is by far my favourite Gallagher record. Other albums might be more versatile and technically better in writing and playing. Maybe!

Yet, Photo-Finish was special for me as it was perhaps his more commercial sounding piece. Shadow Play was actually released as a single and For hated the idea of singles, and Shin Kicker just kicks everything in sight. Brute Force and Ignorance and Last Of The Independents also rock along on a catchy train track while Overnight Bag is an autobiographical song on the touring life.

Rory died in 1995 at the, far too young, age of just 47. In the 30 years since his legend has got bigger and bigger.  In my opinion  you can keep your Jimi Hendrix. Rory Gallagher was less flash but I question if even Hendrix could shape the strings of a guitar like Rory, and he sang the blues with a guttural authenticity.

I picked up on a wee Rory eccentricity at that first gig in 1979. He would start or end songs with something unique to himself  - “Hope you like it!” I loved it and again in the other two times I had the privilege to see him.

Quite regularly I'll bring Photo-Finish out and have a good old three piece blow out.

There will be pilgrimage to that statue very soon.

 

RYAN MCMULLAN - REDESIGN

If Ryan McMullan’s debut album was a character in a novel it would be some story, full of twists and turns and drama. 

As far back as August 2022, when he packed us into Belfast’s Custom House Square for a glorious sing song, this record was long awaited, delayed by Covid. 

That evening McMullan spoke of it now being finished but delayed to April 2023. On New Year’s morning 2025 I discover that it had finally been released in November 2024 and I had heard nothing about it. Hence it wasn’t featured in my records of 2024.

After all of that is the record as good a story. It is of course. This young man from Portaferry can write a song and has more than the pipes to sing it with gusto and emotion. 

I was concerned about what they would do to the natural flair. Here was a young man who had wowing Belfast crowds for a few years with songs released on Bandcamp that had crowds singing every word at concerts. They were songs very much earthed in a place.

When I saw the pink cover of the album I feared it might end up to smooth and shiny attempt to break our boy out of the parochial. Would his minders yield to the temptation of popping the Irish authenticity out of him with the possibility of making him the next Sheeran or Capaldi. 

I was also nervous of the singles. Would Static and Redesign be too popped up. Well, the latter and title track says it:

 

To Sugarcoat

Would be an insult to both

You and I so I just wont

It’s redesign

 

There is redesigning on Redesign. The first thing that the more careful production does is to make Ryan sound less like Ed Sheeran who has been of late sounding a lot like Ryan McMullan. 

In the end though it all stands on the songs and voice and they are the two things that stand tall above the sheen. Ryan McMullan is still himself in the middle of all the pink and his writing is so exceptional. 

The two co-writes with Beoga, famous for their  collaboration on the aforementioned Ed Sheeran’s Galway Girl, speed up the rhythms on Static and Real Love the latter a duet with Beogo’s Niamh Dunne.

Elsewhere we have McMullan on McMullanesque topics. Monarch is about family, Flailing is introspective as Ryan opens up courageously about mental health and the closing Never Mattered about the longevity of friendship and just maybe friendships across the traditional divides in Northern Ireland.

Bowie On the Radio is the only song left from the old singles, eps and band camp releases. By this stage it is a live classic and leaves us with the question as to what will happen to Belfast City, Letting Go For A Little While and Oh Susannah.

We are back to who Redesign is in the story. It was the new material after the early recordings. It is now two years old at its moment of release. Is there a new record already ready? Will this one get its space to grow? Will those first great songs never see a full on album production? Does that suggest that there is room for a live record as a stepping stone to the next? With us all singing the chorus of Belfast City to give the local hero a hand. 

But hey… don’t get ahead of yourself Steve. Allow these songs into those McMullan sing songs that we enjoy so much. See you all at the Telegraph Building in April.

MY #1 RECORD OF THE YEAR - 2011-2023

As I look over Stocki's very Favourite Records since 2011, there is much evidence that I went for the outsider, the less heard. These albums beat U2 to #1 for two albums. Springsteen and Cave made good albums that maybe should have. Snow Patrol's Wildness! What amazes me is that my beloved Over the Rhine have had maybe 3 top 5s and 2 that only missed by 1 place.

I still hold to the vast majority of these. They still mean a lot to me. 

My #1 RECORDS have been:

 

2011 - RON SEXSMITH - LONG PLAYER, LATE BLOOMER

2012 - BILL FAY - LIFE IS PEOPLE

2013 - JASON ISBELL - SOUTHEASTERN

2014 - STEVE TAYLOR & THE PERFECT FOIL - GOLIATH

2015 - GLEN HANSARD - DIDN'T HE RAMBLE

2016 - DAVID C CLEMENTS - THE LONGEST DAY IN HISTORY

2017 - ROMANTICA - SHADOWLANDS

2018 - KARINE POLWART - LAWS OF MOTION

2019 - THE ORPHAN BRIGADE - TO THE EDGE OF THE WORLD

2020 - JASON ISBELL & THE 400 UNIT - REUNIONS

2021 - JOY OLADOKUN - IN DEFENSE OF MY OWN HAPPINESS

2022 - BONNY LIGHT HORSEMAN - ROLLING GOLDEN HOLY

2023 - ARBORIST - THE ENDLESS SEQUNCE OF DEAD ZEROES

STOCKI'S FAV 5 LIVE RECORDS OF 2024

5. JASON ISBELL & THE 400 UNITS - LIVE AT THE RYMAN VOL 2

The 400 Units rock out in their Americana way with Isbell's fascinating lyrics keeping it cerebral too.

 

4. TRÚ - LIVE IN BELFAST

Their performance at 4 Corners Festival was a kardia hitting beaut; harmonies to burst your chest open. So it was thrilling to get a live record, even this early in their development.

 

3. PAUL McCARTNEY & WINGS - HANDCLAPPING

We've waited 5o years but with Jimmy McCulloch on board the best Wings lineup was nearly complete and this live in the studio blow out of old, current and rare songs.

 

2. BLUE ROSE CODE - SOLD OUT AT ST LUKE'S, GLA

My band of the year release a live record with a film to go with it. Deep soul playing touching my deep soul.

 

1. VAN MORRISON LIVE IN ORANGEFIELD

An astonishingly great live record of an historical night in Morrison's old school. Simply sublime in every department but forgive me for picking out Dana Masters' bvs. Won me back after not listening to Van since his Covid rants. In form like this he can rave on!

 

STOCKI'S FAV 5 TRIBUTE RECORDS OF 2024

 

5. POWER OF THE HEART; A TRIBUTE TO LOU REED

A nice variety of reworking Lou Reed songs and different voices...

 

4. RORY BLOCK - POSITIVELY 4TH STREET; A TRIBUTE TO BOB DYLAN

Her virtuoso guitar play underneath that bluesy voice, gets around the poetic words of Bob.

 

3. LUCINDA WILLIAMS PLAYS THE BEATLES IN ABBEY ROAD

That voice and her guitar strut playing the Beatles' blues...

 

2. SILVER PATRON SAINTS; THE SONGS OF JESSE MALIN

I went deep in Malin songs, that I didn't know, with a variety of artists like Springsteen, Green Day, Costello, Counting Crows and others...

 

1. PETTY COUNTRY; A COUNTRY MUSIC CELEBRATION OF TOM PETTY

Those amazing Petty songs did often veer towards country so an array of country artists take them right across the border and do them wonderful justice.

RORY BLOCK - POSITIVELY 4TH STREET; A Tribute To BOB DYLAN

There could be a separate Best of the Year category just for Bob Dylan Tribute albums. In recent years Cat Power, Lucinda Williams, Chrissie Hynde and Joan Osborne have all given us their versions. Rory Block has entered the 2024 competition and won hands down. 

Block is best know as a guitar virtuoso with a blues voice above the common or garden. When one thinks of Dylan one thinks immediately of voice and words. Block’s voice has such emotive blues intonation that she had every right to give Dylan a go.

And she has made a good lash at it. Indeed, in many ways, the guitar playing has taken a backs eat to that pure bluesy voice. Not that we should miss the guitar. Quietly and understated, Block adds little carefully picked magical motifs throughout; particularly Not Dark Yet.

Everything Is Broken is given a jocular loose arrangement that brings out a lightness without losing the reality of our brokenness. 

There’s a more sober spiritual intensity to Rings Them Bells.

Like A Rolling Stone gets brought back from the amphetamine 60’s electric drive. A little slower and less cluttered the Block wraps her voice around the beat poetry unleashed back in the summer of 1965 and gives them more space and light.

Positively 4th Street gets the slide guitar treatment, in a country blues shuffle and A Hard Rains A-Gonna Fall has the sparse early 60s Greenwich Village apocalyptic power that it deserves .

If Mother Of Muse is maybe the mistake in the mix, Block trying too hard with her voice the other Rough and Rowdy closer Murder Most Foul seems like the worst idea ever. Yet, it somehow gets through by its sheer ambition but in all honesty I’d have taken four other songs than this 20 minutes…

BUT… Rory does Bob seems so obvious that we wonder why was it so long  in coming. Hopefully Volume 2 comes quicker.

STOCKI'S FAVOURITE BOX SETS OF 2024

Box sets are the treat or con for those of us looking for our younger years repackaged with fresh versions and songs we were never give access to. Here are my five favourites of 2024.

 

5. U2 - HOW TO DISMANTLE AN ATOMIC BOMB

I have throughly enjoyed the Reassemble out takes album but perhaps a little expensive for all that really is brand new. 

4. JONI MITCHELL - ARCHIVES VOL 4

I have loved all of these Archives. This one is fascinating in that it is the Hejira and Mingus era. Fantastic jazz grooves as well as Joni poetry. 6 CDS for less than £70. Amazing value.

3. FACES AT THE BBC

Rod, two Ronnies,. Ian and Kenney giving the Stones a run for their money. 6 CDS of fun filled and rocking live concerts and live sessions with more than one interruption from John Peel.

2. THE WATERBOYS - 1985

Around that time just before Mike Scott decamped in the west of Ireland and went down a road full of fiddles and accordions, this is a fascinating box full of other versions, outtakes, instrumentals and eccentric 30 second snippets. Scott's wild fire imagination has never raged so clear. 93 songs for less than £40!!

1. ELVIS COSTELLO - KING OF AMERICA & OTHER REALMS

My favourite Costello phase when he was haunted by T-Bone Burnett, all stripped back and Americana. The original record and then 5 extra CDs of awesome demos/session and live versions with guests like Emmylou Harris, Kris Kristofferson and even Larkin Poe. 

BLUE ROSE CODE - SOLD OUT AT ST LUKES, GLA

Blue Rose Code are my musical discovery of 2024. A couple of social media suggestions by friends I respect and I gave their album Bright Circumstance a lash and in the six months since I have bought 3 CDs, 2 vinyl albums and 2 live album downloads.

Colour me excited then when the final new record of the year that I purchase is their Live record of their sold out gig at St Luke’s in Glasgow in June.

Blue Rose Code are probably the band in the world that I most want to see live (I have a venue) and I am delighted that Ross Wilson (who kind of is Blue Rose Code) releases a lot of live recordings. Their “Caledonian Soul” Band, as they describe themselves on Bandcamp, are created for that live setting. The songs deserve nothing less.

This is soul music. It was Springsteen who said there was a difference between making music and playing music and that that difference was soul.

Everything here is soul propelled and for me, the listener, felt in my soul. This band can play and each player has their moment. The live environment allows for more ebbs and flows and swoops and soars.

Upon all of this Ross Wilson’s vocal is full of energy, passion, compassion, melancholy and quiet reflection, shifting across them sometimes in the very same verse and chorus. He ekes out every emotion even more acutely.

The political declaration of 14 Years aghast at how we one of the richest nations have children going to bed in poverty; the melancholic raw reality, “about generational trauma and addiction” of Sadie; the celebration to love and mercy in the rock out of Jericho; the spiritual insights of Do Not Be Afraid; and the catharsis of McDonald’s Lament sequencing into Now The Big Man Has Gone On for his friend Gordon.

There are more gems on the film including - the mystical tones of Pádraig Ó Tuama’s poetic Cork accent leading us into You’re Here and Then You’re Gone; the full band thanksgiving of Grateful; my favourite version of Amazing Grace of all time; the heartfelt post covid benediction of (I Wish You Peace) In Your Heart; and the fully loaded LND City Lights.

I often ask myself what is the sound that best describes my favourite music just now. Right now it is Blue Rose Code and the songs of Ross Wilson. It was my treat and thrill to discover him this year and this live record is the perfect ending to all of that.
