Tim Buckley
This album sounds so claustrophobic. Tim Buckley sounds like a white guy trying to be Bill Withers with a stuffy funky boogie. On top of that, his voice just kind of pisses me off. Pass!

Scritti Politti
This album feels like DeBarge and Prince had a mid 80’s baby, but it’s all done by British white guys. The breathy, higher register vocals also remind me of Color Me Badd. This shines when those 80’s synths kick it up to 10. The ballads kind of drudge along. Perfect Way is a great song! 3.5 stars.

Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five
Early rap has a pioneer thrill to it. It feels like a hot summer day in New York City in the early 80’s and everything is about to explode into the biggest party you’ll ever see. It’s all in front of you. This album in particular feels thoroughly groundbreaking with its cool Soul, early Rap, 80’s synth manipulations and use of samples like Genius Of Love and Another One Bites The Dust. On Dreamin’ when he said “this one goes out to Stevie Wonder…because he’s the greatest” I said out loud YES! He IS!! I mean it’s such a simple and sincere sentiment to express their love for that legendary musician. The world needs more love fests like it. After repeated listens, this record holds way the hell up. 5 stars!

Isaac Hayes
This album is smooth and creamy. Digesting a double album soundtrack should be daunting, but this one was quite pleasant and the time flew by. When the 19 1/2 minute funk fest of Do Your Thing came on, the party hit. Otherwise it’s mostly Sunday morning chill. It’s the first day of a vacation. It’s Friday night with the entire weekend in front of you. Glorious!

Bob Dylan
Yawn. I know I’m supposed to love Bob Dylan and particularly this album. I don’t. It’s boring to me.
