Another round done and dusted, so who came out on top?
In 1st place, with 24 points, Our Roots (Began in Africa) by Pharoah Sanders, this week's gold trophy claimant, is Gordon, excellent choice sir.
Not far behind Gordon, on 21 points, is Funeral Beds by The Districts, which mean Lez gets to proudly show off her latest silver disk, & just 1 wee point behind Lez's nom is, I’ll Be You, Be Me by Glen Hansard, so Johnny claims the Bronze disk.
Not a bad eclectic playlist...really enjoyed the Pharoah Sanders song.

Hello again,
it's the return of the Wildcard round, so anything goes, but generally seldom heard tracks, i think, but you have carte blanche on this one.
Noms and links as per usual, ta.
Hope you're having a glorious easter weekend, i've actually decided to turn the heating off!
TTFN
PS: re the next round "Murder Ballads" - I've heard of songs being murdered, but could Tim give us a wee bit more info on this one, cos i haven't a clue what a murder ballad is, thanks! :)
