The Hangman's Beautiful Daughter
The Incredible String Band
I started to listen and all I could think about was Monty Python. While the music is interesting(?) ah...make that jarring, some of the lyrics are a stretch for my brain. Not something I would return too.

In A Silent Way
Miles Davis
Listening to this album was like falling in love for the first time. Unpredictable, indescribable, and full of highs and lows.

Hard Again
Muddy Waters
Love the blues especially BB King; Muddy Waters a true original; I found the album heavy on "talking" ~

Blue
Joni Mitchell
The lyrics of each song weave together and it's like listening to a book. The instrumentals on each tune added to my enjoyment. For the most part I loved the high energy...but the constant "high" note of Mitchell's voice was a bit much after a while. Still, album is worth listening to and enjoying.

The Poet
Bobby Womack
This album is just plain fun. Nothing too complex about the music or lyrics; just a go with the tunes and "groove:".. little cheesy, lots of fun. The "standing room only" had me dancing~ Bobby Womack's voice is great to listen too. RIP Bobby~

Queen Of Denmark
John Grant
Loved the relaxed vibe and creative lyrics. Grant's voice is easy to listen too.
After listening to the album I gave a listen to Tom Rush; for some reason Grant reminded me of him. But alas Grant is Very different than Rush. Enjoyed the album and I will probably return to it.

The Genius Of Ray Charles
Ray Charles
I'd give 4 songs on the album a 10 if I could. Smooth, Sensual and Invokes memories of those loves gone wrong. Enjoyed every second of listening to Ray Charles.

Bryter Layter
Nick Drake
Four stars for the guitar and lyrics. Drake's voice is like a gentle whisper striving to be heard and yet not daring to draw attention to the vocalist.
Most of the album made me feel like hiding from the world. Talented Guy with lots of struggles.

Rising Above Bedlam
Jah Wobble's Invaders Of The Heart
I loved everything about this. The mix up of styles, cultures, instruments and vocalists really kept me interested. Jah was understated and let the music rule. I loved it!

Dance Mania
Tito Puente
Love the horns and the rhythm. I may request that this be played at my funeral because I'm sure it would make me get up and dance. Drums, mix of instruments is interesting. Such vibrancy for an album from the 50s!

Live At The Regal
B.B. King
I would give 10 stars if I could. No one can compare to B.B. King and his guitar Lucille. I remember seeing him in concert when I was a teenager.
Album brings back memories.

This Is Fats Domino
Fats Domino
If I were listening to this back in the 50s I would have rated it higher. Then it would sound fresh and innovative. The sound on the album was scratchy and technically subpar. Buts Fats Domino rates a 5...

Five Leaves Left
Nick Drake
Nick Drake's voice is melodious. Beautifully haunting and lingers long after the last note is sung. His lyrics are moving and thought provoking. A talent gone too soon.

I loved a few songs and would have given it a 5 for Jeff Beck's guitar skills,
But the vocals on many of the tracks warranted a overall 3 rating.

The Black Saint And The Sinner Lady
Charles Mingus
Listened to this album and felt like I was discovering a new language. At first I couldn't appreciate the mix of instruments and rhythms but as released any kind of judgement I felt excited by the surprise of what came next. This is definitely not an album to relax too. High energy and complex.

The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan
Bob Dylan
Loved traveling back in time. While I don't think Dylan would win "best voice" his lyrics hit it out of the park. Some of the songs are rants and rages but he knows how to switch gears to memories of lost love. Loved the album.

Fleet Foxes
Fleet Foxes
Harmony and vocals are worthy of revisit. The sound is so pure and yet complex. The vocals are "shut off your phone" and pay attention to how beautiful everything is balanced and tonally rich. I didn't think I'd enjoy this album but it was lovely.
