Five Leaves Left
Nick Drake
This album is one of those with surprising modern hip-ness. The tiny desk would go off. The intricate instrumentals have both groove and intrigue. The atmosphere is mysterious yet joyful. It is the first I can recall of listening to Nick Drake, which I suspect some will be jealous of. This one is getting saved to the playlist.

1989
Taylor Swift
80s pop sound with the bass arpeggiator. More of a modern 1975 weeknd vibe though. I believe this album came around the same time as those other artists becoming popular. I like the 80s vibe. Not exactly what I was looking for from this website though. Probably not the whole album needs to be heard.

Van Morrison
Quite good. More of a daytime album despite the title track. While I feel this hindered my appreciation it still had an interesting mix, impressive arrangements, and decent variety of sound. I found the album inspiring with the use of swing time, waltz rhythms, horn section, and creative transitions.

Nina Simone
Best album so far. Wide range of style but remaining very consistent. Vocals are amazing, mixed and tracked so crispy. The songs range from intimate to epic. Gonna keep this one in the rotation for sure.

Layla And Other Assorted Love Songs
Derek & The Dominos
Great musicianship, great songs, basically an hour of Guitar soloing and a couple of words. Just the guitar players to pull it off.
