The Healer

John Lee Hooker

2/5

Some cheese and some meh on here (see the first two tracks). Suffers from National Treasure syndrome where everyone wanted to work with a legend who needed a top-selling record. Late-80s early 90s style production is a little gross too. Definitely doesn't feel like essential JLH. The Los Lobos and Canned Heat tracks are standouts, tho

Moon Safari

Air

5/5

Just one of the all time bangers. Atmospheric, energetic yet chill. The vibes! The sheer motherfucking vibes!

The Black Saint And The Sinner Lady

Charles Mingus

5/5

incredible energy! demands attention and requires close listening. not really hangout joint, but if you have the time and the brainspace, get in there!

This Is Fats Domino

Fats Domino

4/5

A certain kind of perfection. Not avant garde to today's ears, but sweet and sincere and groundbreaking for its time.

We Are Family

Sister Sledge

3/5

Some serious classics on here and great grooves, but didn't dig the R&B slow jams so much.

Ready To Die

The Notorious B.I.G.

5/5

Just a masterpiece. Biggie's flow is ridiculous. A few unfortunate artifacts of the sketch/interlude era of hip hop, but other than that flawless production and just acres of lyrical genius

Electric Music For The Mind And Body

Country Joe & The Fish

3/5

I can see where this might have blown minds back in the day. Interesting mix of trad and electric instruments, blues and psychedelia, pop and rock, some vague bits of politics. But it doesn't feel like it has a fundamental brilliance that makes it anything more than a footnote in the overall cultural progression of pop music.

Rumours

Fleetwood Mac

5/5

Hard to argue with. Not just good songs, not ones that have stood the test of time. It's got a wide path, mining a whole range of sounds and styles. Just very very impressive overall

Led Zeppelin II

Led Zeppelin

5/5

Just an all time banger. No skips. Well maybe skip Moby Dick. But it's insane how good this record is

Sweet Baby James

James Taylor

4/5

Several amazing tracks, a couple meh tracks. Several tracks that feel a little cringey in retrospect. James Taylor thinks he's a grizzled old bluesman! He's a soft rock hero!

Underwater Moonlight

The Soft Boys

5/5

A revelation! I had never heard it before and have been playing it almost daily. Jangly, psychedelic, lightly punk, melodic, harsh, funny. it's great!

Songs In The Key Of Life

Stevie Wonder

5/5

All time banger!

Graceland

Paul Simon

5/5

One of the all time greats.

At Mister Kelly's

Sarah Vaughan

5/5

An unbelievable talent. Loose, funny amazing
