I knew about half these tracks from other compilations, and this is a good collection of bebop to be sure. However, some of the songs seem out of place, and it hasn't quite clicked for me yet. 3.5/5
This was a good slice of Hank Williams' material, with a bunch of tunes I knew and liked, and a few new ones. Not all of them hit the mark, however, especially when the lyrics take a turn for self-pity. 3.5/5
Unfortunately, this was a significant step down from their other effort this year. Only toward the end did the group start picking up the pace and really letting loose. 3.5/5
Expressive and intimate jazz vocals. I liked this one better than the more acclaimed self-titled. 4/5

Was not expecting to enjoy a Duke Ellington record so much. The band really cooks, especially Paul Gonsalves on tenor sax. Great crowd energy too. I listened to the original release, which is partly counterfeit "live" but supposedly a better listening experience. 4/5
Wow - stellar album from the godmother of rock & roll. Christian music normally isn't something I gravitate toward, but the passion and fervor in this one is magnetic. First gospel record I've heard front to back. 4/5

I liked it! I think it's the type of album that could grow on me with more listens and reading a translation of the lyrics. Thanks for the rec - I've added it to my list of albums to check out from this year 😄 _________________ Join us in the canon game :) / Add me on RYM
If you liked this one can I just recommend another weird album of the lowlands from this year, now from Belgium, and it can best be described as piano punk. I recommended it to Meccalecca and he liked it as well:
