Welcome to the RPM Seven Day Soundtrack, week ending Friday 14th March 2025. This week's edition features all the great music you'd expect from the collective plus a welcome RPMer guest appearance...over to...
"Warm wishes to all RPMers as the sun burns a little brighter even though Winter keeps reminding us it's not over just yet. A plug for a new (to me) venue in Beccles, The Canopy Theatre where (along with J & P from this musical parish) I saw Michael Weston King and his wife last Saturday.
Next month unbelievably they have a very special legendary Texas lady. There was a time a time or two ago when I was never too far away from a Shel Silverstein, or Bobby Bare song. These days not so much so, but..."
"First up it's..."
M W K with The Hardest Thing of All -
"...and then..."
Kimmie Rhodes with West Texas Heaven -
"...and finally..."
Shel Silverstein with Cloudy Sky (Lady Moon) -
"Hi RPMers, Here are my three tracks for this week."
Over Jerusalem by Jethro Tull - "This is from their new album Curious Ruminant... and very good it is too."
Handsworth Revolution by Steel Pulse - "I went to see Steel Pulse on Sunday at UEA and they put on an excellent show, mixing new(ish) material with old classics like this one."
The Poet And The Witch by Mellow Candle - "This is from Swaddling Songs (1972), their only studio album."

Apple Tree Town by Steve Tilston -
"Hello everyone. Hope you are all thriving. I have taken advantage of Tim's kind invitation to offer the occasional contribution to the RPM catalogue.
I have recently been listening non-stop to the most recent MJ Lenderman album. I was going to select three of his songs, but I see that Philip has already recommended 'She's Leaving You', which is a superb track. So here are two anyway..."
Manning Fireworks by MJ Lenderman - "The opening track from the album of the same name. What it's about? No idea but I love his wit."
Wristwatch by MJ Lenderman - "Unlike the largely acoustic opener, this has fab Crazy Horse-style guitar work (as does She's Leaving You)."
"Have a great weekend."
"Hi RPMers, hope all is good with you guys. Here’s my 3 tunes this week."
Dog's Got A Bone by The Beta Band -
Return of the Grievous Angel by Gram Parsons -
Scarborough Fishermen by Richard Grainger -
A Whole Life Lived by Chris Wood -
When The Tide Rolls In by Amelia Coburn -
"This time, a NWOBHM masterpiece, a recent-ish album revisit and some old folk......er, that's music not people..."
Rime Of The Ancient Mariner by Iron Maiden - "The Powerslave album is lodged in the car CD player at the moment...and this is just classic Maiden."
Some Kind Of Treachery by Magnum - "I realised I hadn't really given the last Magnum LP, Here Comes The Rain, a proper in depth listen....so rectified this week, and this one got stuck in my head."
The Ivory Lady by Diarmaid and Donncha Moynihan - "Lovely tune composed by Diarmaid and covered by other Irish traddies such as Lunasa. Can't believe the album Lights of Ranzanico came out 24 years ago..."
'Til Next Time...
