No.1653 02/04/2021 – The 3rd James Taylor album Mud Slide Slim and the Blue Horizon celebrates a 50th anniversary this month. The 1971 Rolling Stone review declared the LP a ‘dull listen.’ Includes the Carole King standard and hit single You’ve Got a Friend. A masterpiece or dull listen?

Gigaton is the first new studio album by Pearl Jam in nearly 7 years…and it doesn’t disappoint. Mojo magazine said “Strong and loose, political and personal, Pearl Jam get the balance absolutely right.” Need a few more listens. |
 No.939 02/04/2019 When I heard that the young Belgian-Egyptian artist Tamino was being compared to Jeff Buckley my ears pricked up. Good looks, a falsetto voice, and emotionally evoking melodies, there are similarities. The debut LP, Amir, is defined by the incredible opener Habibi. Looking forward to seeing him live this month. |
 No.574 02/04/2018 The 2nd album by the Australian indie rock band Gang of Youths, Go Farther in Lightness, released in August 2017 is a phenomenal piece of work. From the anthem What Can I Do if the Fire Goes Out? to the late album tender tracks, complete with string arrangements. Love this LP! |
