1001 Albums Summary

Kurt's voice is very intimate and raw, seemingly inviting the listening of many different audiences. Favorite song is Pennyroyal Tea.

Respect - I’ve listened to this one before.. very groovy, and i love Aretha’s vocals, definitely a very happy song that reminds me of self love! Also very nice brass instrumentation. Bridge is SO GOOD!!!! Really love this song. Drown In My Own Tears - Slower and more emotional. I like the steady drumbeat. Her vocals are so so amazing, such a true talent and gift to this world.. RIP. Reminds me a bit of a ballad, but has more of a groove to it. I really like the backing vocals. I Never Loved a Man - Title song!! I’m always interested to see the song that the whole album is named for. This one also had a pretty steady drumbeat. This song is very jazzy. Franklin’s vocal range is incredible. Part of the song does sound a bit like she is screaming in my ear, adds to the vibe but is kind of a lot (it could be my car speakers).. I wish I could master vocal runs as Aretha did. Soul Serenade - This song reminds me a bit of the songs from the school dance on the Grease soundtrack, I think it’s the beat. Don’t Let Me Lose This Dream - I love the backing vocals and the drums Baby, Baby, Baby - Piano is kind of nice, definitely a quieter song. Thoughtful harmonies. Dr. Feelgood - The songs are all starting to sound pretty similar, but are all still of very high quality. Miss Aretha was quite the genius. Good Times - This song has a more peppy feel. Funny double entendre fueled lyrics.. Do Right Woman, Do Right Man - Another slow song. I think that I prefer her faster, happier songs. They remind me of gospel church songs. Save Me - This song has really cool bass and other instrumentals, reminds me a bit of if Violent Femmes and Sandy Gaye did a song together. A Change Is Gonna Come - Slower ending to a great album!!
