1001 Albums Summary

Not generally the kind of music that I’m a fan of. As much as I can appreciate the lyrics and skill it is unlikely I will ever return to this album. I liked ‘lily, rosemary and the jack of hearts’, it was upbeat and I think his voice sounded the best here; It sounded very nostalgic to me. ‘Tangled in blue’ was pretty good too, I can see why it was popular. The rest were fine but not something I’d listen to in my own time. That said I happened to be in a teeny tiny town in the middle of the desert while listening and idk there’s something about twangy guitar and harmonica that fit so well with cactus, red rock and dust. I think if you hated or didn’t get this album you should give it another go if you ever end driving though the Arizona desert. Made me feel like I was in an old cowboy movie.

Felt very disjointed and many of the songs made no sense on their own let alone alongside the rest of the ones in the album. A few were fun but not nearly enough to put up with the rest of the album.

I liked this one, groovy with a classic rock vibe. All the songs after “bitter sweet” except for “prairie rose” were a little too slow for me tho.
