1001 Albums Summary

Prelude: Can't believe I haven't heard of Joan before, but I knew I was going to like this album when I played a clip before I left Annapolis. Acoustic folk especially from that era is a soft spot for me. The album was pleasant overall and her rendition of House of the Rising Sun was a dope surprise. Nice background music for knitting by the fireplace while the snow pours down outside (if that was something I was into). If I'm allowed to make comparisons, she reminds me of Joni Mitchell but twice as haunting in her voice.

A lot of my favorite RHCP songs on this album. Not nearly as funky as ones before but extremely enjoyable rock nonetheless. Original as any of their albums. Great listen for me always.

Wouldn't necessarily add it to my playlist but appreciate it for what it is. A quintessential country record that'll make a cowboy cry. My favorite part is the intro. Step right up, Come on in.

This dude has seen some shit Most of this sounds like it would be playing in some smoky underground club where all the spooky creatures hang out in a dark animated movie. While I couldn't get past his singing at all, I thought his range in styles/genres was impressive

Pretty cool sound. I'm not even sure what I would call the genre. Lion thief was my favorite song. The dog barking was an interesting element

Cmon now. Loaded album. Chains is the only song I have in my library though; just not into FM as much.

Generally wasn't easy to listen to for me. The vocals just didn't sound good on top of their music. But I did enjoy some of the instrumental guitar and strings

No doubt they rock out, but not really my jam. I imagine they tear up some garages

Wish I liked Willie more

Dusty is lit. I thought the album got better as it went on. Big voice. Added two songs to my library

Can't do it

Marvin will make you feel something. Pause. No I meant it. This album is up there right behind Whats Going On for me. Much different vibe (all love songs) but still the same passion. Will never get old

The soundtrack I wanna hear if I'm an astronaut looking back at the earth
