Popular Reviews

Talking Book by Stevie Wonder

Arguably Stevie Wonder's best album, although I prefer "Innervisions" and "Songs in the Key of Life." Inarguably among one of the 1001 greatest albums of all time. "Maybe Your Baby" is an electro jam that feels contemporary in 2021. "Superstition" is an unskippable track for all people and all times.

Natty Dread by Bob Marley & The Wailers

Bob Marley's ability to write feel-good music that is rich in cultural and political commentary make him one of the most iconic musicians of the 20th century. Natty Dread is a masterwork; my enjoyment of it was dampened only by the knowledge that his 1975 live London version of "No Woman No Cry" is vastly superior.

At Folsom Prison by Johnny Cash
May 10 2021

Johnny Cash's showmanship elevates this album to iconic status. Not necessarily representative of his best songwriting work.

Natty Dread by Bob Marley & The Wailers

Celebrity Skin by Hole
May 14 2021

A more influential album that I had realized - punk/grunge making way for the neopunk pop sound that would continue through the 2000s.

Dirt by Alice In Chains
May 16 2021

It ain't for me.

Green Onions by Booker T. & The MG's
May 17 2021

Perfect party playlist in one album. Style as music. Essential record.

Green River by Creedence Clearwater Revival
