1001 Albums Summary

The 1970s were the golden age of rock ‘n roll debauchery, and no band leaned into the pageantry quite as unabashedly as Queen. Largely abandoning the progressive, fantasy-themed nature of their prior records, in favor of a harder, glam-like sound, the band’s vaudevillian prowess rears its head at last on Sheer Heart Attack. Standout Tracks: Brighton Rock, Killer Queen, Now I’m Here, Stone Cold Crazy

Lovely, laid-back, funky soul jazz with an irresistible, cozy groove. Jimmy Smith and Donald Bailey lay down a strong foundation, upon which Stanley Turrentine is given room to excel, and Kenny Burrell plays a vital supporting role. Perfect for a rainy day, late night, small gathering, or long walk. Standout Tracks: Back at the Chicken Shack, Minor Chant
