Gunfighter Ballads And Trail Songs
Marty Robbins
Some real nice songs in there. My notable favourites were “they’re hanging me tonight” and “el paso”. This music gives me memories of 1950s cowboy movies shown on a Sunday afternoon growing up.

Good to listen to it again. Definitely not really my cup of tea. But lots of elements in it that are great. It is in my opinion probably the most iconic film music that has ever been made.

Gene Clark
Never heard of him and after the first listen I thought it was pretty meh. But I decided to listen again a good few more times throughout the day and it got way better. Something Townes Van Zandt (only more instrumental) about it that really appealed to me.

The Who
Did some reading of this album to better understand what exactly I was listening too. Felt I needed to after that fiddling song haha. Pinball wizard makes a lot more since now! Tis a seriously influential album! Like it became so important culturally that Jack Nicholson features in the movie they made of it…. Which I might try get round to watching! But overall the drums are awesome but the album is not quite for me…

As a kid I didn’t really enjoy listening to Steely Dan in the back seat during a car journey. But they really are a grower! Excelllwnt album. Great pop hits and class guitar work! Just a couple songs that I still struggle with at the end!

I only really listened to their earlier blues stuff. It’s quite a distant memory by the time of this album. Twas a good listen. The chain is class! Started reading about the founding members of the band and it’s pretty colourful, the 70s has a lot to answer for haha.

In the initial listen I not enjoy this album. This probably wasn’t helped following on from fleetwoodmac. But I lightened up and the album is grand easy listening country rock. “Train leaves here this morning” is pretty catchy stuff.

I think this album suffered being given to us on a Monday. I listened to a bit of it again this morning (Tuesday) and it sounded a lot better. So it was originally a 2 for me but it just snagged a 3 as i was quite enjoying it upon a 2nd listen.

I have maintained a negative opinion of iron maiden since childhood. Fans of their were always super fans and a put off. However, the original singers voice in the first album is far more palatable for me. So I didn’t hate this album as much as expected.
