John Martyn
5/5
This was really refreshingly new to me, never heard of this artist before. I just loved the tape-loop guitar sound with kind of jazzy, bluesy sounds layered throughout. I'm definintely going to revisit this.

Fairport Convention
5/5
I've never heard of Fairport Convention before but really liking this celtic kind of rock from the 60s. Matty Groves was really a great song, Tam Lin was also very good too, and Sir Patrick Spens. I like the vocalist, she sounds sort of like Grace Slick. I think I'll be revisiting their albums again and I think it's a 5 star for me. I learned a little bit about the singer, Sandy Denny too and didn't realize she sang with Led Zeppelin on Battle of Evermore, one of my favorite songs.

Wilco
1/5
Way way too long and boring. It jumped styles a lot and not to my taste and I guess I don't really like the vocals. I own YHF from Wilco but that is a lot more experimental I think. Definitely skipped many tracks on here and was annoyed by it by the end.

Antony and the Johnsons
5/5
Wow this album was really good, I especially liked the guest vocalists and her unique singing voice. "Bird Guhl" was especially moving and I recommended this to my kid already for her to listen to. Really a great album for me today.

Can
5/5
I loved this, even the crazy weird moaning and Halloween like screaming of it. I had never heard of CAN before but I will be listening to this again here shortly. I loved the grooves of this, especially Halleluhwah and Paperhouse. 5 stars for me.
