1980 – MCA
Produced By MARK AVSEC

1. Ah! Leah!
2. I Can’t Hear You
3. Joking
4. Shock Treatment
5. Back On The Streets
6. Agnes
7. You’re Only Dreaming
8. She’s So Wild
9. Daddy Don’t Live Here Anymore
10. Too Young To Love

Donnie Iris (Dominic Ierace) played with The Jaggerz and with Wild Cherry, but he’s best remembered for “Ah! Leah!”. The first song on his first solo album, Back On The Streets, was quite a hit. It’s also, for me, the least interesting song on this weird and somehow wonderful little record. I admit, I have a soft spot for this. It’s filled with fun and different songs, stinging and punching rock guitar, a wall of vocals, songs that are about things you wouldn’t really think to write about, and some of the cheesiest keyboards in history. I love this album so much. It’s the high point of Iris’ long career, and it’s part of the strange life I lived as a 20 year old trying to navigate living in the wastelands of Wyoming. It’s one of the least me sounding records ever made…and it’s a perfect fit.

“Ah! Leah” is a terrific song. But the rest steals the show for me. This geeky guy who looks like Buddy Holly shouldn’t rock this hard, but he does. “I Can’t Hear You” and “Joking” are about saying the wrong things to your loved one. “Shock Treatment” is really about just that. “Back On The Streets” is a glorious heavy rocker. “Agnes” is maybe the coolest and weirdest rocker ever made. “She’s So Wild” has the greatest chorus…and “Too Young To Love” is over the top drama that actually works. “Ah! Leah!”? Eh. That’s just a nice pop song. What I strongly recommend is that after the first song, put on your headphones and crank the rest of Back On The Streets. What a terrific lost gem from the dawn of the strangest of musical decades. A strange and glorious rock and roll snapshot. I will always love Back On The Streets.

1969 – A&M
Produced By DENNY CORDELL

1. Feeling Alright
2. Bye Bye Blackbird
3. Change In Louise
4. Marjorine
5. Just Like A Woman
6. Do I Still Figure In Your Life?
7. Sandpaper Cadillac
8. Don’t let Me Be Misunderstood
9. With A Little Help From My Friends
10. I Shall Be Released

11. The New Age Of Lily
12. Something’s Coming On

Joe Cocker came from nowhere in 1969 as the great white hope of those who wanted to grow up and be like Ray Charles. He bravely took on The Beatles with the title track, made Traffic’s “Feeling Alright” his own song, and ended both sides of the album with courageous takes on Dylan classics “Just Like A Woman” and “I Shall Be Released”. Cocker was a sight to see, for sure, but he also had the voice and the soul to back it up. Not everything works…his takes on “Bye Bye Blackbird” and “Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood” are not up to par, and there are also three Cocker originals (written with Chris Stainton) that show just why Cocker’s legacy was as a great cover artist.

As for the friends Cocker got a little help from…the list of players here is mighty impressive. The opening guitar on the title track (and on half the album) is Jimmy Page. Steve Winwood is here on 2 songs, and you can also hear the likes of Henry McCullough, Albert Lee, Merry Clayton, and some of the best session players in the world. The hits here led to Cocker’s appearance at Woodstock, and his association with Leon Russell. The great songs here balance out the lesser tracks, and are still worth hearing today. But the album as a whole is somewhat uneven. Still…this is where it all started for Cocker, one of the greatest interpreters of the rock era. There were plenty of big moments to come, for sure.

1995-ELEKTRA
Produced By DANIEL LANOIS

1. Where Will I Be
2. Goodbye
3. All My Tears
4. Wrecking Ball
5. Goin’ Back To Harlan
6. Deeper Well
7. Every Grain Of Sand
8. Sweet Old World
9. May This Be Love
10. Orphan Girl
11. Blackhawk
12. Waltz Across Texas Tonight

Sometimes, it takes a giant leap of faith for an artist to create their masterpiece. This was the case with Emmylou Harris. Two decades into her career, she teamed with rock producer Daniel Lanois on Wrecking Ball, and came out with easily her greatest album. Lanois brought to Harris a dark, atmospheric landscape that suited the unique voice of Emmylou better than her typical acoustic strumming of country tunes had ever done for her. Between that and an amazing set of songs and guest appearances, Wrecking Ball was the perfect recipe for the perfect album.

The songs are by Neil Young, Lucinda Williams, Bob Dylan, Steve Earle, Gillian Welch, Jimi Hendrix, and so on…all perfect choices for Harris’ unique voice. Young plays on and wrote the title track, a strong and perfect song for Harris. Overall, every song here is a keeper, and the album as a whole is beyond what Emmylou had ever done, or has done since. Her body of solo work is pretty good, but if you must have one album, this is definitely the one to have. Easily her best work, and one of the unsung albums of the 90’s.
