1001 Albums Summary

Never listened to the whole of The END in it's entirety - don't think I ever will again. The jingle jangly bits are always nice on a sunny day.

OG Outlaw. Marty Robbins my beloved, murder ballads my beloved, songs about cattle my beloved, this album brings me so much joy, Marty's voice and lyrics are always so precise and paint such a clear picture to follow around. For fun bit of info Chappell Roan gets her name partially from the Strawberry Roan song (her grandpa's favorite song). Personal favorites : Big iron, They're Hanging me Tonight, The Master's Call, Running Gun, El Paso, Saddle Tramp. Basically any song where someone dies. To add to the list the Colter Wall version of Big Iron is one of my favorites - the whole Western Swing & Waltzes is a masterpiece and falls into the tradition of this kind of album.

I feel like maybe my mood when listening to an album affects everything - or maybe this album is one I've heard too many times before and it just becomes background noises of the kind I would hear in a shop on high street or on american idol. So sorry to Aretha I just felt today when listening to it that it was all background noise.

No notes

An album to bond teen girls and middle aged dads - make a reference to this album on a road trip and you will be raised to the highest levels of approval in dad world logic. Didgeridoo kinda beat that makes you wish you owned a boat.

Not my favorite Elvis - sun studio recordings have a special place in my heart - but still full of cool bangers and covers that show off his vocal range and the great studio session musicians. My main issue is that a lot of time I like the original of the famous covers more. The formulaic structure gets overwhelming after a while. There are highlight singles on the album and then full snoozers.

This album is actually really fun, ridiculous, short, and a good distraction. Though it does get repetitive I can zone out and phase out nicely. Sure it's giving background music I can listen to at work and not want to jump out a window but still. However I have a deep hate for extended deluxe remastered versions of albums on streaming services that get to a point where you can't even find the original track list on, I refuse to listen to an hour and thirty one minutes of a deluxe album version no one asked for.

I'm so happy to see albums like these on here. Truly an amazing album and is taking me out of feeling stuck. Hero is the standout track for me, could listen that song and its intro over and over again.

My SHEYLA!
