Live At The Harlem Square Club
Sam Cooke
Good album but not necessarily what I’d choose to listen to most of the time. The fact it’s a live recording means that it flows really nicely, no breaks in songs, commentary running over a couple of tracks etc.
Overall a good listen but not my favourite genre so might not listen to it again for a while.

Highway to Hell

Good album, music I like, doesn't always flow terrifically well but all songs are something I would listen to again. Each song is similar enough to be in the same album but a different song in its own right.

Alright album, not by any stretch something I'd ordinarily listen to. Genre was almost lo-fi but not quite. Would maybe listen to the first two songs, again but not in a rush. Don't actively hate it but definitely not the most enjoyable listen I've had.

I Never Loved a Man the Way I Love You
Aretha Franklin
Starts off strong with respect, then moves into slightly more gospel type music. All pretty good but not quite my cup of tea. Might go back and listen to the whole album but not in a rush. Has some strong social messages in the songs which were probably ahead of their time, don’t detract from the songs but just don’t think the genre is necessarily for me.
