1001 Albums Summary

Iconic country vocals with some country and rock guitar riffs. I must say I preferred the rock than the country elements. I do love the lyric ‘born in the land of plenty, now there ain’t enough’. Feels apt for current climate. The album shifts from more upbeat to slower jams - track 5 really lowers the mood. Fav track was Little Rock n roller for its story telling lyrics. Not my fav album though on the whole.

So 90s in its use of the spoke element. I had only ever heard 2 of these songs before. Definitely not my genre and poses some interesting arguments about the n word in music to then be consumed by white listeners. I respect his artistry as he is an amazing producer and so have to acknowledge this as a brilliant rap album from the 90s that changed the game for others.
