1001 Albums Summary

A beautiful voice and love to boot. I envision hosting a cocktail party with this playing in the background.

So soulful and patient.

Better than I remember.

Not any better than I remember.

Not my vive

With jazz, it’s always Mingus, Mingus, Mingus

Great. Never gets old.

A deserving entry on this listed and generally underrated masterpiece from GM.

Interestingly, the two most popular hits from this album are my least favorite. The remainder are all consistently repeatable.

I’ve always enjoyed The Replacements, my second favorite band out of the MSP during the burgeoning 80s. A blend of punk ethos and pop sensibility. This one is a bit uneven, but some great ones on here including the anthemic I Will Dare.

Did not resonate with me as much as I would have

I thoroughly enjoyed this trippy funk spectacular. Great guitar riffs and rhythm. Certainly could discern influences in lots of contemporary funk music from Lenny Kravitz to RHCP. Definitely keen to explore more Funkadelic.

Some good songs but not a compelling album.

A unique and compelling voice. First time listening to her music and really liked it. May not be fair or relevant comparison, but my mind went straight to Tracy Chapman. Curious if Joan was an influence on her.

Enjoyed. Good guitar work. Better than The Offspring for sure.

I love Chris!
