The 1974 Betty Wright album Danger High Voltage is a fun filled ride from beginning to end. From southern funk to proto-disco, the LP is a joy to behold, and perhaps her finest work. Includes A fantastic cover of Allen Toussaint’s Shoorah! Shoorah!

The debut Joy Division album Unknown Pleasures was released 40 years ago today! The iconic artwork by Peter Saville, the only LP released in Ian Curtis’s lifetime, and hugely influential. Critic Jon Savage described UP “guilt-ridden, romantic, claustrophobic.” One of the best?

The Neil Young album Unplugged is 25 years old today! Apparently Young was displeased with his band’s first attempt, a second performance was recorded. A great collection of Young classics. Along with Nirvana, one of the great Unplugged?

The 6th & final The White Stripes album Icky Thump is 10 years old today. Love Conquest & I’m Slowly Turning Into You. Ended on a high!
