Live At The Regal

B.B. King

5/5

This is an awesome album… BB King is one of the greats. Live at Cook County is another great live album by him!!!

Electric Ladyland

Jimi Hendrix

5/5

I consider this album one of the greatest in my lifetime. Hendrix was totally unique in his instrument, moving the electric blues pioneered by early urban greats like Muddy Waters, Howlin Wolf, etc., to new heights. Great album with the greatest musicians sitting in… especially love Winwood on keys… The lyrics very acid driven, and a great Dylan cover of All Along the Watchtower. A shame he passed so soon.

The Velvet Underground

4/5

I do love this album but not the best musically. Lou Reed was a pioneer of pain… His lyrics spoke to an emerging community. Candy says… a must know song!

Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music

Ray Charles

3/5

I love Ray Charles. I love his original jazz & blues and his 70s stuff, in particular his version of Abraham, Martin & John… I know this album was groundbreaking for its time. Big production, great songs, just not my favorite Ray Charles album. I suggest any of the original Atlantic albums before this one. Ray Charles, Yes Indeed!, Genius After Hours, Genius Sings the Blues… or if you prefer jazz try the Atlantic albums Soul Meeting or Soul Brothers with Milt Jackson! TJ is album was historical, just not my favorite!

Play

Moby

4/5

I wasn’t expecting much from this album. Boy was I surprised- pleasantly. Looks like he was at the forefront with G.Live, Citizen Cope, Cake. Really enjoyed the album & got a copy of the complete album version!!

Fear Of Music

Talking Heads

4/5

I love the talking heads!!! Life during wartime is brilliant & I Zumba is a must listen. This album really marked a major growth spurt for this band out of punk-ish sound to the more sophisticated sound that became their trademark!!!

The Score

Fugees

1/5

Fugues not for me. Recognize the talent but not a fan. I do like Lauren Hill quite a bit - “miseducation” album…

Mama's Gun

Erykah Badu

4/5

This album surprised me. Great voice, interesting tone. Somewhere between jazz & hip hop with a hint of trip hop & traditional jazz. Has been added to my personal play list!!

In A Silent Way

Miles Davis

5/5

This is a classic!!! The start of the electric Miles!!! Three of the greatest ever on keys - Hancock, Corea, and Zawinal!!! Tony Williams in drums, McLaughlin on guitar, Shorter on sax!!! Wow, every note from everyone is pure gold!!

Hearts And Bones

Paul Simon

2/5

Not a big Paul Simon fan, this album ok…

Hot Rats

Frank Zappa

5/5

One of the best albums ever!! Have lived this album since 1969. For the time, nothing came close to the recording quality. Musicianship unreal!!! Songwriting excellent!!! Beefhart great vocal on classic Willie the Pimp!!!!

Strangeways, Here We Come

The Smiths

3/5

Ok album. Not my fav list…

Highway 61 Revisited

Bob Dylan

5/5

One of the best albums ever… Like a Rolling Stone!!! WOO HOO

Stand!

Sly & The Family Stone

5/5

Another great album… Love Sly Stand! A true classic
