Layla And Other Assorted Love Songs
Derek & The Dominos
This wasn't very exciting. It wasn't bad, but some of the songs were covered better by other bands. I kept thinking that the driving blues would go somewhere but it just kind of felt stagnant. Overall, forgettable. It did have the original version of Layla on it though. Didn't realize this was a group with Eric Clapton.

Not a bad samba album. Samba isn't necessarily my favorite, but this was enjoyable.

Bongo Rock

Fun engaging album. I was bopping to this all day long. It starts off with Apache, which is just fun. There were, weirdly, a couple random covers of songs like 'In A Gadda D Vida' and 'Wipeout'. They were surprising.

A song by Billie Holiday came on after this. I enjoyed that much better. Not a big fan of this one.

Mar 13 2023
Pictures At An Exhibition
Emerson, Lake & Palmer
There were some weird electronic effects that I was not a big fan of. There were a lot of electronic instruments, like someone went overboard with keyboards. The first song was Promenade, and I was pretty excited. I've been looking for a funk version of Promenade, which I thought could have come from ELP. This was not it. Overall, not bad, but not something that I want to listen to again.

Come Away With Me
Norah Jones
Excellent album. I had forgotten about this. Somehow listening to this album makes me nostalgic for a time or place that I never experienced. It just has that feel that makes you want to sit and watch the rain fall, or slow dance, or slow dance in the rain. Pretty excellent.
