Otis Blue/Otis Redding Sings Soul

Otis Redding

4/5

I was not a fan of this album being almost entirely covers. I like Otis Redding's voice and music style but I would rather hear an entire album of original songs. I didn't know that he wrote "Respect" so I learned that from researching the album. Overall, easy to listen to.

Superunknown

Soundgarden

5/5

I really loved this album. I am a long-time fan of Soundgarden. Many of the tracks were familiar, but some were new to me. I liked the different moods of the songs - some hard, some sad, some just chill. Iconic songs for my generation! 5 stars.

Electric Ladyland

Jimi Hendrix

5/5

I saw this album described as "a sound painting" and I love that. The layers of psychedelic funk, rock, and blues was a treat for the ears. I could picture myself walking down the street in New Orleans and hearing some of these songs coming from a club and I would most certainly go in and take a seat. You know a Jimi song when you hear it. Loved this one.

Back At The Chicken Shack

Jimmy Smith

4/5

Not something I would have ever chosen to listen to, but I don't hate it. I've never even heard of Jimmy Smith who apparently is quite well-known in the industry. I think it's the "soul" with the jazz that makes it more appealing to me compared to a more classical jazz sound. It's definitely something I could put on in the background and enjoy.

Court And Spark

Joni Mitchell

1/5

I went into this one absolutely loathing Joni Michell. I gave it a shot, trying to hear what might have put it on a "great album" list. I have to report that my opinion has not changed. The best part about Court and Spark is that it's short.

The Sensational Alex Harvey Band

1/5

Ewww, no. 👎

Oar

Alexander 'Skip' Spence

2/5

The dude wrote all of the lyrics and played all of the instruments on 22 songs. Recorded after a hospitalization for major mental episode. Gloomy. Trippy. It did sound like a "rough draft" and it felt like he was unraveling as it went on. Interesting backstory but not an enjoyable album.

A Rush Of Blood To The Head

Coldplay

4/5

Solid.

Since I Left You

The Avalanches

1/5

Reminds me of being in a daycare. Lots of weird, loud noises that I wish would stop. DNF. I wish zero stars was an option.

Rock 'N Soul

Solomon Burke

5/5

Loved this one.
