Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music

Ray Charles

5/5

Fantastic classic. First time I’ve heard and will continue listening.

Frank

Amy Winehouse

4/5

I expected to be pretty indifferent to this album, but actually ended up really enjoying it. Hadn't really gone beyond the surface of Amy Winehouse, but she has some good stuff R&B/soul stuff. Will definitely listen in the future.

Red Headed Stranger

Willie Nelson

4/5

Great classic Willie Nelson album. Easy listening.

Hotel California

Eagles

4/5

I’m not the biggest fan of Joe Walsh’s voice, but still a great album nonetheless. Solid rock classic.

Natty Dread

Bob Marley & The Wailers

4/5

Fantastic album. The first 2 tracks on this record are iconic in music. Need to listen to reggae more.

Gunfighter Ballads And Trail Songs

Marty Robbins

3/5

Not a bad album at all. Older music and probably won’t make it into the listening rotation as an album but I do love “El Paso”. Nice song and very nostalgic of the Breaking Bad finale.

Aqualung

Jethro Tull

4/5

I had heard of Jethro Tull but never listened to them. I really enjoyed this album - almost gave it a 5. Love the progressive rock sound. “Wind-Up” is a very cool track with some great lyrics. Will definitely be listening to more.

Femi Kuti

3/5

Don’t really listen to this music but enjoyed it for sure. I like the Afrojazz style - very unique.

This Year's Model

Elvis Costello & The Attractions

2/5

I suppose I can appreciate the music, but it’s not really my speed.

Meat Is Murder

The Smiths

3/5

Enjoyable album. Surf rock is easy listening.

Modern Kosmology

Jane Weaver

4/5

Actually very good and unique sound - enjoyed listening.

Ladies And Gentlemen We Are Floating In Space

Spiritualized

2/5

Interestingly enough I’ve never heard of Spiritualized. I don’t think this album was really for me but I can appreciate the experimental alternative sound. I’d like to hear more of their discography.

LP1

FKA twigs

3/5

Decent sounding album. Pretty unique R&B pop sounds.

Crosby, Stills & Nash

3/5

Good music by a great, classic supergroup.

Ellington at Newport

Duke Ellington

4/5

Great orchestral jazz record. Will be listening in the future.

Traffic

3/5

Great progressive rock.

The La's

4/5

Very nice record; certainly some early 90s alt rock. I really like There She Goes.

Every Good Boy Deserves Fudge

Mudhoney

3/5

I appreciate the alt rock sound. Interesting to note that Kurt Cobain considers Mudhoney an influence.

Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band

Beatles

4/5

A classic, fantastic record. Not much else to be said; it's the Beatles.

Raising Hell

Run-D.M.C.

3/5

Expected not to like this but actually a fun album. I recognized a lot of the songs. Want to revisit - might earn a higher rating.

Run-D.M.C.

2/5

This one wasn’t as good as the last Run-D.M.C. album. First half was ok.

Opus Dei

Laibach

3/5

I have no idea what to think about this record. I love experimental music so I certainly appreciate it for that but this is incredibly avant garde. I did really enjoy the album title track Opus Dei - very industrial.

Back At The Chicken Shack

Jimmy Smith

4/5

Fantastic record by a notable artist. Not much to say other than the organ is a fantastic addition to Jazz pieces.

Pornography

The Cure

2/5

This album didn’t really speak to me. I would like to listen to more of The Cure as I’m not familiar with the discography, but this wasn’t it.

Ten

Pearl Jam

5/5

Absolutely fantastic album. Very easy 5 stars. Eddie Vedder and Jeff Ament are some of the icons of 90s alternative rock grunge (along with Pearl Jam, of course). This debut album from them has some stunning tracks like Black, Even Flow, and Jeremy.

Movies

Holger Czukay

4/5

As I’ve mentioned, I really like experimental music. This is no exception. Fantastic electronic rock and avant-garde music. Will be listening to more.
