I can’t get enough of the Linda Ronstadt version of Little Feat’s song “Willin’.” The version from this album is also excellent, even without the fantastic Sneaky Pete pedal steel solo.

These guys have been one of my favorite bands for quite a while now and they really are a music lover’s dream. The music is great, their live show is extremely entertaining and their productivity is prolific, to say the least. This is the third album they’ve released this year and are rumored to haveContinue reading “#880 – Ice, Death, Planets, Lungs, Mushrooms and Lava by King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard”

I grew up abhorring top 40 music. I’m not sure if it’s just that I was so closed-minded when I was younger or that the pop music of my youth was just not that appealing to me, but recently I’ve been enjoying it more than I ever thought possible. This selection came to me whileContinue reading “#879 – Gemini Rights by Steve Lacy”

I’ve been listening to more country music in the past couple years than ever before and have really been enjoying it. One artist that I’ve been listening to for a while, however, is Loretta Lynn. Her album Van Lear Rose was produced by Jack White and really changed my idea of what a country albumContinue reading “#878 – Full Circle by Loretta Lynn”

The war in Ukraine has been the source of untold horrors for so many people and on so many levels. It is devastating to read the news each day of more and more atrocities and apparent war crimes being brought to the doorsteps of ordinary Ukrainians. Even though they are technically the aggressors, the RussianContinue reading “#877 – Walk Out Boy 3 by walkie”

Like so many young men, I spent many years idolizing the legendary Led Zeppelin. Their contribution and influence over rock music are indisputable and anyone who came after owes them a debt of gratitude. This is a great solo album from the prolific bass/keys master who is responsible for so many of my favorite LedContinue reading “#876 – The Thunderthief by John Paul Jones”

This group has created a very cool combination of electronic and acoustic instruments that blur the lines between producer and live band. The percussion is generally created with a diverse array of instruments that are unusual to be found in their genre.

For some reason, I really enjoy listening to a new album on the day of its release. That might be because I grew up in an era of physical copies of various media, so it was a lot harder – and more expensive- to accomplish that. I’m sure my children will view this experience asContinue reading “#874 – Fossora by Björk”

Dean DeLeo has always been a guitar hero of mine. I was (and still am, periodically) obsessed with Stone Temple Pilots and have followed his career through quite a few other projects. So I was quite excited today when I came across this collaboration between him and Nashville session legend Tom Bukovac. Throw in anContinue reading “#873 – self-titled by Trip the Witch”

A friend of mine sent me an ad for an upcoming show where Adrian Belew will be recreating the setlist from a classic Talking Heads show. After a modicum of research, it turns out he’s played with many of my favorite artists. As usual, my musical ignorance knows no bounds, but always leads to greatContinue reading “#872 – Mr. Music Head by Adrian Belew”
