Obsessed with music, records, musicians, rock, jazz, blues. It might get loud, and there might be an occasional opinionated outburst.

Rescued from the bargain bin. A little crispy, but it's a cool artifact of the psychedelic era. Forgot they covered the Beatles 'Help' on this one.

Album of the Day
Shades of Deep Purple (1968)

A stunning 2021 reissue from the ill-fated Vinyl Me, Please. They were pricy and had plenty of troubles, but knocked it out of the park with this one.

A bit of a rarity this morning, from the Cars keyboardist. It has not been reissued since '83 and is not streaming anywhere as far as I know. Catchy synth-pop, mostly instrumental.

Two weeks with the Floyd in '69. It was quickly composed and spontaneous, and is a fascinating snapshot of the band, knowing now what was to come.

As I recall, they called it cowpunk. High energy country with a rocking edge. It should have worked, but they never achieved much success, and quit after two albums.

Taken from more than 100 performances of Dark Star from '68 to '93, composer John Oswald sampled and rearranged the music to create an amazing soundscape.

Happy Monday! When the "Name a 10/10 album" post comes around the X feed, I often respond with this one. Maybe not an obvious choice, but it is deserving.

Monster riffs, and sort of a blend of White Stripes and Sabbath. Mixed super loud like many 2000 era CDs. Paint peeling off the walls...

The evolution of Mac is fascinating to me. They hit a sweet spot with both Danny Kirwan and Bob Welch; this is a great album. But things were destined to change...

Well, they stole a page from Dire Straits, and then somehow won a Grammy for best hard rock/metal performance. It's become one of my favorite Tull albums over the years.
