Montana Cafe (1986) by Hank Williams Jr.

A decent enough, traditional country album. Some decent songs but rather forgettable in the long term. Not something that I would listen to that often TBH but a nice listen

Beverley Craven (1990) by Beverley Craven

Not my usual fair at all, my wife already owns this album, but not a bad album at all. Rather light weight but a pleasant listen.

Representing The Mambo (1990) by Little Feat

Although sans Lowell George, this is still a really good album. Craig Fuller does a really good job on vocals and there's some very good song writing and musicianship here

Because there's no Lowell George I overlooked this album but so glad that it has turned up in this collection

Sladest (1973) by Slade

Of it's time but a rollickingly good album. Yes, you have the hits, for example, Cum On Feel The Noize, Gudbuy T' Jane, Skweeze Me Pleeze Me & Mama Were All Crazee Now but, as with many Slade albums, this is more than just the hits.

Really good originals in Pouk Hill & Look Wot You Dun and the cover of The Shape Of Things To Come.

A great listen to be honest

Slayed? (1972) by Slade

Great version of the Janis Joplin classic move over is the highlight on the album but there are some rather decent Slade penned tracks also. Overall, not a bad album but not their best

In The City (1977) by The Jam

They did better albums later in their career but I don't think that they ever captured the sheer energy of this album. Great punk sensibilities on show here

Their guitar player is the disturbingly creepy. These album covers are tough to look at.

Who, Dave? He's still around, you know. Technically Slade never did go completely defunct โ€”ย they're still out there playing gigs, with him as the only original member, after 62 years (if you count their years as The Vendors and The 'N Betweens). They'll probably keep going another 62 years โ€”ย why stop now? Dave's probably reading this thread, too. He reads everything.

Slow Dance (1988) by Southside Johnny

Veering towards a more soul based sound, this is a decent album that struggles from typically late 80's overproduction. Pity, because there's some good stuff buried here

Black Rose: A Rock Legend (1979) by Thin Lizzy

One which I already own.

This vies with Jailbreak as my favourite studio album by the band. From the brilliant opener, Do Anything You Want Do, the album just kicks it from the start.
There is no filler here. I also think that this is some of Gary Mooresโ€™ greatest guitar playing on this album especially on tracks like Sara, and the title track

Phils vocals as always are phenomenal.

Thereโ€™s nothing that different here in the style of music for Lizzy fans from the previous studio album Bad Reputation, they have just kicked it up several notches. The two-year gap made a lot of difference to the quality of the song writing and the playing.

Itโ€™s a true classic
