At Folsom Prison

Johnny Cash

4/5

Great performance. Tune your guitar John

Sign 'O' The Times

Prince

4/5

Expansive but quirky. A 3 hour movie that could have been 2 hours.

A Grand Don't Come For Free

The Streets

5/5

Maybe as important as Quadrophenia.

The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn

Pink Floyd

4/5

The Dawn of Psych Rock and a peek inside Syds musical mind.

Pictures At An Exhibition

Emerson, Lake & Palmer

3/5

Progressive and rock-ish to a masturbatory level. Cool to hear so much Moog and Hammond B3. Bold and pretentious, the perfect fodder for a rock opera parody like Spinal Tap. I enjoyed this, for what it is and I'll probs never listen to it again, thanks.

Back To Black

Amy Winehouse

5/5

To fully bare the existential nature of life in a jazz/r n b/pop album with a voice that surely knows the content matter. Has lived on and between every note. My god, this album is mastery.

Juju

Siouxsie And The Banshees

4/5

Essential post-punk goth rock! Guitar and vox are amazing.

Now I Got Worry

The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion

4/5

Analog mayhem.

1999

Prince

5/5

Fun.

The Low End Theory

A Tribe Called Quest

5/5

Minimalist hip-hop with heavy jazz influence. Easy, infectious grooves. Feels natural and unforced.

Music in Exile

Songhoy Blues

4/5

Supa Dupa Fly

Missy Elliott

4/5

Sentimental enjoyment.

Scissor Sisters

3/5

Groovy disco beats set in a more contemporary tone. Lots of falsetto.

Grievous Angel

Gram Parsons

5/5

A rare gift of musical greatness enhanced by the addition of Emmylou Harris vocals makes this an enchanting treat.

Ctrl

SZA

4/5

Sunday At The Village Vanguard

Bill Evans Trio

4/5

Wonderful beat era jazz. The trio works effortlessly in sussing out emotive and expressive melodies. A real treat, given the quality of this live performance.

461 Ocean Boulevard

Eric Clapton

2/5

I sometimes think EC was trying to be JJ Cale with this. It feels lose, downbeat and unpolished. Frankly, not my favorite EC effort, even with a Marley cover that seems trite. Meh.

Street Signs

Ozomatli

4/5

There's No Place Like America Today

Curtis Mayfield

4/5

Chill.

Smile

Brian Wilson

4/5

American Beauty

Grateful Dead

2/5

Dull and sloppy. There's better 60-70s Americana in the Byrds, CCR & the first Eagles album and Gram Parsons/Emmylou Harris and The Band. Better psychedelic Americana in The Flying Burrito Bros and CSN(Y). A good set of their better songs, but still not a compelling as that mentioned above.
