#1495 – self-titled by Terry Reid

I read somewhere that Terry Reid was Jimmy Page’s first choice for lead singer of Led Zeppelin. He couldn’t do it for one reason or another and recommended a friend of his, one Robert Plant. It’s fun to think and wonder about what might’ve been if things had gone differently. Would they still have becomeContinue reading “#1495 – self-titled by Terry Reid”

#1494 – The Futuristic Sounds of Sun Ra by Sun Ra

As I have been preparing to go see Dead & Co at the Sphere later this week, I’ve been listening to a bunch of episodes of Oteil Burbridge’s podcast, Comes A Time. I can’t remember who the guest was in this particular episode, but they were talking about how great the musicians were in SunContinue reading “#1494 – The Futuristic Sounds of Sun Ra by Sun Ra”

#1493 – Good Grief by Magic Al

#1492 – self-titled by Monsters Of Folk

I love a good supergroup. My favorite album from last year was probably The Record by boygenius. Although this album (from the male version of boygenius) is about 15 years old, and only came to my attention because they recently released a deluxe version, the timing is perfect for me. After several missed opportunities, I’mContinue reading “#1492 – self-titled by Monsters Of Folk”

#1491 – I Can’t Let Go by Suki Waterhouse

Flying home early this Father’s Day morning, or so I thought. American Airlines was doing their thing with some six hours of delays despite no apparent weather issues to be found. Not ideal. This artist has one of my favorite singles from 2024 so far and is, regrettably, one of only a couple of artistsContinue reading “#1491 – I Can’t Let Go by Suki Waterhouse”

#1490 – self-titled by Cut Worms

I’m in Chicago this weekend, working on a comedy special. We found out shortly before arriving here that today would be a short day, so we checked to see what was happening on a beautiful June Friday night in Chicago, only to discover that there was a Wilco show at a great, newish outdoor venueContinue reading “#1490 – self-titled by Cut Worms”

#1489 – After Noon by Melorman

#1488 – Speak To Me by Julian Lage

As a mediocre but committed guitarist, albums like this always inspire me to try to complete the many unfinished compositions that haunt my notebooks and fretboards. I am under no illusion that any of my potential future output would be able to compete with an artist such as Julian Lage, but he reminds me thatContinue reading “#1488 – Speak To Me by Julian Lage”

#1487 – Neotheater by AJR

This group keeps popping up on Spotify following a couple of songs that my kids are currently obsessed with, and always with the same two songs. As a result, I was curious enough to give them a little more time to explore their catalog. In this one, I especially enjoy the song Beats, in whichContinue reading “#1487 – Neotheater by AJR”

#1486 – Opus at the End of Everything by The Flashbulb

Anyone who follows me might notice my affinity for post rock artists. Introduced to the genre by Sigur Ros and Explosions in the Sky, it’s an ever-expanding field with some of the most creative and moving compositions to be found in modern music, and one which is not constrained by the commercial appeal of theContinue reading “#1486 – Opus at the End of Everything by The Flashbulb”
