5/5

One of the greatest jazz vocalists of all time with some really great material. This album was SO warm and comforting. Kept it playing non-stop.

At Mister Kelly's

Sarah Vaughan

3/5

Love Sarah Vaughan but did not care much for this live album. Not a lot of her best standards and the sound quality was not the best.

Coat Of Many Colors

Dolly Parton

5/5

I've never listened to a Dolly Parton album before. But this album was thoroughly enjoyable. Not a big country music fan but the sound is that of the "old Country" music from the 70's that I remember. Love her voice and love many of the songs such as "Coat of Many Colors", "She Never Met a Man", and "A Better Place to Live". Great listen!!!!

Adele

3/5

Blue Lines

Massive Attack

4/5

Some good songs on this album.

The Köln Concert

Keith Jarrett

1/5

Sometimes you just aren't in the mood. Unfortunately for this album, I just wasn't in the right head space to have much appreciation for a full 60+ minutes of jazz piano.

Different Class

Pulp

4/5

This was a 90's album and band that I missed out on. After the first listen to this album I was not impressed. Was opening up to it after a second listen. Boy am I glad that I gave it a couple more spins because each listen had me feeling it more and more!! For some reason they remind me of Arcade Fire but not quite. Really enjoyed this album and will keep in my rotation..

Selling England By The Pound

Genesis

1/5

Was not feeling this album at all. Not a single song...

The Gershwin Songbook

Ella Fitzgerald

5/5

One of the greatest jazz vocalists of all time with some really great material. This album was SO warm and comforting. Kept it playing non-stop.

Hot Buttered Soul

Isaac Hayes

4/5

White Blood Cells

The White Stripes

4/5

Really enjoyed this album. Not a bad song. Jack and Meg have an almost minimalistic sound that is somehow funky and full-bodied at the same time.

KIWANUKA

Michael Kiwanuka

5/5

This album totally snuck up on me!! After the first listen I was somewhat interested. But, like most of the albums that have become sacrosanct to my soul, the more I listened to this album, the more I HAD to listen to it. Again and again. Melodic and soulful. Moody and poignant. It almost shames me that I did not know who this guy was. Absolutely love this!!

A Little Deeper

Ms. Dynamite

2/5

This album is the epitome of the R&B/hip-hop/neo-soul sound of the very early 2000's. While it was probably enjoyable at the time, the sound is VERY dated. Just couldn't get into it.

Peter Gabriel

4/5

Great album. More than a few quintessential 80's classics on here.

Nowhere

Ride

1/5

I know this sound. There are plenty of other 90's groups that I love that have this sound. Unfortunately for "this group" and "this album" they don't seem to do it as well. Or maybe they're falling victim to not getting me at the right moment....because in this moment I REALLY am not feeling it.....

Bossanova

Pixies

2/5

Gave this album quite a few listens. Really wanted to like it but this album did not do much for me. There was some good stuff on this but it never came together for me.

Bridge Over Troubled Water

Simon & Garfunkel

3/5

Nice.

Rock 'N Soul

Solomon Burke

3/5

This album is that old gospel/soul sound that I used to hear on R&B dusty radio on Sunday afternoons back in the 80's. That 60's soul sound from Atlantic records that was more earthy and gritty than the Motown sound that was blowing up.

Frampton Comes Alive

Peter Frampton

2/5

Did not hate this album. But also not really impressed. Live albums can be a tricky introduction to an artist because very rarely is a live version as good as (or captures the essence) of the original studio recording that many fans fall in love with. I have a feeling with this artist and album I would probably like the studio versions much better. Sorry Peter....

Want One

Rufus Wainwright

1/5

Nope.

Daydream Nation

Sonic Youth

3/5

Good album. Took a few listens to get into it.

Fuzzy

Grant Lee Buffalo

1/5

Meh. This album was nothing special. Full on 90's alternative rock sound but I probably wouldn't recognize this guy if I heard him again...

Elephant Mountain

The Youngbloods

1/5

Nope.....B side is better than the A side but that ain't saying much. Not my cup of tea...

Heroes to Zeros

The Beta Band

1/5

Meh....

Lady Soul

Aretha Franklin

4/5

Classic album from the Queen of Soul. Has me reminiscing of Sunday afternoons when my Mom had the house filled with the sound of V103 playing the "dusties".

Vespertine

Björk

3/5

I like Bjork. I do, really. Keeping that in mind, I still can only take her weirdness in limited doses. This album is her quintessential sound. Moody and offbeat emo electronica. I guess I like it....in a mildly indifferent and won't think about it much again kind of way.

Cloud Nine

The Temptations

2/5

This album is just NOT the "real" Temptations.

The Fat Of The Land

The Prodigy

4/5

Been a while since I listened to this album. Forgot how "high-energy" it was from start to finish. Lots of fat beats and attitude. Great combination!!

Songs From A Room

Leonard Cohen

3/5

This is not my favorite Cohen album.

The Only Ones

2/5

Not terrible. Not good.

Parsley, Sage, Rosemary And Thyme

Simon & Garfunkel

4/5
