1001 Albums Summary

I found Solomon Burke's music to have similarities in style to Elvis Presley. This is new territory for me as I grew up in the Rock era of late 60s and 70s. This era of music was considered "oldies" on the radio at that time. I also felt like there's some blues and gospel influences.

I have limited exposure to jazz, so it's difficult for me to assess this album from a critical perspective. I find it to be easy to listen to, seems to be improvisational as many songs tended to lead me along a journey through various small sets of different instruments/rhythms.

This album is very different from other David Bowie albums I've listened to. Seems to me like he did some experimenting in the recording of this album. I get a futuristic vibe. Overall, not a bad album.

I have not listened to many Talking Heads tunes beyond their radio hits. So, this is a nice opportunity to better appreciate their music style. In listening to this album, I find myself almost unconsciously tapping my foot and bobbing my head to the groove of many of the songs. All the while, I chuckle at their quirky style.

An upbeat, happy album with plenty of tunes that make you want to hop up and dance around. Taylor sprinkled in a few, more substantive songs to round out the album. I can see why this album is so popular.

A great example of 1980's rock albums. I would crank up the radio every time a song from this album came on. It's a must have for your collection
