It's been 3 months since I recorded the most recent episode of Love That Album. Real life interfered with being able to do something fun like speak into a microphone about great music. The show had to go into hiatus.   It's with the utmost joy I can say.....welcome to episode 161 of Love That Album.   The hiatus is going into....ummm...temporary hiatus as I present my annual episode of favourite discoveries / first time listens of the year. Normally, I speak with a number of my favourite co-presenters about what they enjoyed, but I wanted to get the show back on track in a quiet and easy way, so this time around it's just me.   I present 3 albums I heard for the first time in 2022...then I very briefly add a few more at the end of the show. What do I focus on???? You'll have to download to find out. I hope you'll enjoy my thoughts and recommendations.   Thanks to you, dear listener, for not unsubscribing LTA from your podcast app of choice....I assure you that I intend to do the show for a long time to come. A huge thanks to anyone who sent me messages to find out if I was alright.....your kindness has meant a lot to me. Download this episode of LTA from your podcast app of choice.
