Deep Purple In Rock
Deep Purple
Sounds like 1970 and that’s great. Spare production. A band reaching its peak. Some classic tracks laid down. Nice.

Metallica
Amazing how James Hetfield’s vocals manage to extract what little melody Metalilica manage to craft and eradicate it. Never my cup tea. Adding an orchestra doesn’t change that.

The Black Saint And The Sinner Lady
Charles Mingus
Sound track to some 20 somethings in leotards dancing round a Greenwich Village loft in the mid 60s. Everyone’s a tree. Far out man. Love it.

You Are The Quarry
Morrissey
Melody & great lyrics. Ignoring is questionable politics (hard I know) this is an album to go back to repeatedly.

Vol. 4
Black Sabbath
Sounds like the birth of Paranoid. A simple soundscape with surprisingly tender tracks.

The Kinks
Far too 60’s for me. Not a sound/vibe a like. Three tracks is enough.

Live At The Star Club, Hamburg
Jerry Lee Lewis
Fizzes with energy. Probably won’t listen again but glad I did. This is why live albums are so good.

Time (The Revelator)
Gillian Welch
Ok. A bit dull and grating. Gillian needs to cheer up a bit.
