1001 Albums Summary

Can’t decide if I like the repetitive flow of the album or not—though does have a “nostalgic” feel. Get the impression this would be good road trip music where you’re not rly listening to the lyrics and your mind is just wandering. (+)Try not to Breathe +Find The River +New Orleans Instrumental +Sweetness Follows (-)Man on the Moon (-)Everybody Hurts (Heard this one too much in commercials or skits growing up to not sound like nails on a chalk board to me)

Lonely Avenue + Green Onions + (classic) A woman, a lover, a friend + Comin’ Home Baby + One who really loves you + Rinky Dink - (not a fan) Overall, I like the consistent flow of the album—though usually I like more variety—this was good though. I like the blend of souls, blues, and funk. The musical motifs used throughout are pretty good—except some I found overused or repetitive. I like what they do with this album: New Orleans-esque with a “gumbo” blend of musical genres—which allows for each song to stand apart and have the same consistent theme at the same time. *Album added

For the genre it represents, it is a great album.
