Dutch folk musician Broeder Dieleman revisits am ancient Biblical tale on his new single Jakobsladder, a story about a shepherd who sees angels going up and down a ladder:
The song examines the reflection a place can give: a literal place with its nature, and the figurative place of the person in relation to the world. In this way symbolism and landscape, dream and deed flow beautifully together in this newly told, ancient story of Jakob the shepherd

HCTF review of Live USA 17.
A previously unreleased David Bowie show will be released for Record Store Day (June 20) as a 2LP and 2CD. I’m Only Dancing (The Soul Tour 74) was recorded in the USA. The setlist previewed some of the songs that would end up on his Young Americans album:
Taken from recently discovered sources in The David Bowie Archive®, I’m Only Dancing (The Soul Tour 74) was recorded mostly during David’s performance at the Michigan Palace, Detroit on 20th October, 1974, with the encores taken from the Municipal Auditorium, Nashville on 30th November, 1974. The only song missing from the full set on the 20th October performance is ‘Diamond Dogs’ which was unfortunately only recorded in part. To make up for that it was decided to include the encores from the 30th November performance which featured ‘Diamond Dogs’ but also enables a fuller representation of the set from The Soul Tour including such numbers as ‘Knock On Wood’ and the ‘Foot Stomping / I Wish I Could Shimmy Like My Sister Kate’ medley.
