"Little Baby", "Let It Bleed", "Angie", "Slipping Away" from Keith. There is a bootleg "Stripped Companion" which is also excellent (with like 10-12 other tunes). A+++ Love this album! MEZ"[+]Reply
"This is exactly what Christian rock needs to be. I tend to get sick of the constant feel-good Christian rock that gets played on the radio. How family-friendly it has to be.

I tend to get sick of the constant feel-good Christian rock that gets played on the radio. How family-friendly it has to be. It’s like Christian rock has to never show struggle or wavering faith. Everything is happy all the time. Well Tenth Avenue North made a statement with this album, and that statement is that everyone struggles in life, especially in faith. There are many times in one’s life that a Christian will say “I don’t know if I can do this anymore". They feel broken down and beaten. This is an album that expresses true, real, Christianity. That isn’t to say that praise songs have no place, because they absolutely do. There is joy. But there is also sorrow. The best song on this album, for me, is “Worn", a ballad about being beaten down and tired, being worn as it were. This is an album that is absolutely worth listening to. The music is great and the lyrics are beautiful."[+]Reply
"I absolutely love a number of the songs on here. Others I'd rather not ever hear again. Though part of Metallica's greatness is taking other bands' work and making it better.

Others I'd rather not ever hear again. Though part of Metallica's greatness is taking other bands' work and making it better. They did a lot of good with songs like Am I Evil, Breadfan, Helpless, Crash Course in Brain Surgery, the Wait, and Last Caress/Green Hell. Those songs will always be on my Metallica playlist."[+]Reply

His innovative improvisations and superb technical skills on the trumpet and cornet basically set the standard for jazz in the 1920s and 1930s. My favorite of his recordings during this period were the Hot Five and Hot Seven sessions, where he was featured with various small groups of musicians, including piano, drums, clarinet, banjo, and trombone.
The music makes heavy use of counterpoint and is essentially polyphonic, meaning that multiple melody lines are played at once. This style of jazz was only en vogue for a brief period, but was revived in the early 1940s under the name "Dixieland." It can take some getting used to for those used to modern popular music, since the vast majority of the music we hear is not polyphonic, but it helps to start by focusing on Armstrong's trumpet since he is generally playing the main melody.
The technical skill of the accompanying musicians is mediocre in the earliest recordings, but the later ones, like "Fireworks," feature impressive soloing from the backing musicians. His signature gravelly voice is also featured prominently in many tracks, including "Heebie Jeebies," where he essentially invents the technique of scat singing.
Whether you're interested in the history or just the music, I highly recommend this collection. Armstrong was a once-in-a-generation talent."[+]Reply

Steve Earle, Nanci Griffith and Lyle Lovett had mild success in the country market after being signed in the mid-80s. But Chapin-Carpenter scored major success, especially with Come On Come On, her fourth album. This one netted a rediculous seven hit singles. Perhaps only Garth Brooks' No Fences LP could rival this country counterpart to Michael Jackson's Thriller rerecord.
This record was a massive success, with an astonishing seven Top 20 singles. A nice change of pace is the inclusion of two covers: Lucinda Williams' seminal "Passionate Kisses" and the oddball but suitable "The Bug" by Dire Straits.
Essential.

"This the follow up to Every Picture isn't as good as its famous predecessor. But it is a good album sounds a little rushed though maybe because it was the 7th album Rod/The Faces had released in the last 3 years (1969-72).

But it is a good album sounds a little rushed though maybe because it was the 7th album Rod/The Faces had released in the last 3 years (1969-72). The stand out tracks are Jimi Hendrix tribute Angel & the brilliant You Wear It Well. Mama You Been Om My Mind, True Blue & Los Paraguayos are also right up there. What Made Milwaukee Famous was also supposed to be on the album but for some reason was onlt released as a single."[+]Reply

At one point, talking about quartal harmony or something, he said something like "If it's good enough for Larry Young, it's good enough for me."
This is certainly one of the great jazz organ albums of all time, you can't even argue that. Woody Shaw and Joe Henderson are obviously great players, but one of the highlights of this album is the second tune, where they lay out and it's just a Larry Young and Elvin Jones duet. Young is such an incredible player, spraying melodies everywhere. White water rafting in the form of music.
