At Fillmore East
The Allman Brothers BandLook... live albums often feel like your friend showing you a video they took at a concert; but here is where context matters... The Allman brothers band is a jam band. Just like the Grateful Dead. Sure studio albums are fine if you want to hear the polished copy of their songs; but bands like these are important; because they are performing artists. Dead heads and hippies didn't travel with these bands because they really liked their 5 set songs and wanted to hear them performed over and over again. They followed these bands across the US and beyond; because each time these bands played a song, it was different, it was greater, it was grander, it was the spirit of blues and improvisation. That being said... I'm not really a fan of live albums. I am however a fan of blues. This album has some great solos 'on done somebody wrong' . You can feel that they are having a blast jamming together on stage.
All Directions
The TemptationsGroovy. Interesting lyrics for 'Run Charlie Run' but a powerful message. 'Papa was a rolling stone' is a phenomenal single from this album and I know it well. Even though this song sits on permanent rotation in my spotify playlist, I enjoyed every second of this version. It holds it's breath in suspense, setting the mood with anticipation. When the lyrics finally fly, it's the most powerful they've ever felt. Love the ending riff for Do Your Thing. This album is criminally short. Such is the nature of the vinyl record.

Fleet Foxes
Fleet FoxesLove the musical composition and variety. the band sounds raw in a way that sound like a jam band on stage; but the recording is really clean. folky but not sappy or in-authentic. Reminds me of the early work of the band 'The Shins'. love the haunting vocals of Meadowlarks. I listed 3 times. while working, while doing chores and while going for a run. My appreciation grew.

Led Zeppelin
Led ZeppelinWhat more is there to say that hasn't already been said about this album. I think it's the most influential rock album of all time. Solid 5/5.

The Queen Is Dead
The SmithsI really only like one song by the smiths.
Come Find Yourself
Fun Lovin' CriminalsI wrote a haiku: This album is long. Every song sounds the same. Please make it stop... Please.
Blonde On Blonde
Bob DylanIf you like harmonica... this is the album for you. Visions of Johanna had a good energy.
