Bayou Country

Creedence Clearwater Revival

4/5

The overall musicality is exactly what I picturesque in the bayou country. The screeching with the the twang you would expect with heavy rift guitar blend it perfectly for an enjoyable listen.

This Year's Model

Elvis Costello & The Attractions

3/5

I can definitely see The Rolling Stones influence, similar to Sticky Fingers but blended with similar blend to the Cars which came out the same year funny enough. The overall quirkiness of his voice blends well with pop funk rhythms.

Tidal

Fiona Apple

3/5

Very Sarah McLaughlin but NOT, surprisingly jazz injected sounds onto an alternative? album. Unique in its own way but not so up my alley.

3 + 3
