1969-ISLAND
Produced By JOE BOYD

1. Time Has Told Me
2. River Man
3. Three Hours
4. Way To Blue
5. Day Is Done
6. 'Cello Song
7. The Thoughts Of Mary Jane
8. Man In A Shed
9. Fruit Tree
10. Saturday Sun

The debut album from Nick Drake is now considered to be a masterpiece, but it lacks the bare beauty of his later solo acoustic album Pink Moon. He was only 20 at the time of this recording, and while there are some absolutely stunning moments, the overall feel was almost...but not quite what he was capable of. The strings and flutes tend to take away from the intimacy than add to it.

However, those flaws are not a deal breakers Five Leaves Left is still gorgeous. "The Thoughts Of Mary "Saturday Sun", and "Time Has Told Me" are breathtaking songs, proof that Drake was an unappreciated genius. 'Cello Song" and "River Man" only add to his legend. In a gentle way. Nick Drake was a man capable of much more, as he would show later on. But what he did here, not many others could do. A near perfect album.

My friend Marlo and I were the heads of a collective band in Denver called Roadside Attraction from 2010 through 2015. This album was recorded in 2000. Marlo's music is of the country swing variety. If you are interested in hearing his music, you can find him through Google.

1994-EPIC

Manic Street Preachers have always been bigger in the UK than in America. Much less punk than their image or behavior would suggest, this band from Wales continues on to this day as the same trio they started as back in 1986. But they are best known for the mystery surrounding rhythm guitarist and lyricist Richey Edwards. After joining the band in 1989, his depression grew, and the band had its biggest success with their third album, 1994’s The Holy Bible. A political and angry album, there are also several references to what many believe was Richey’s state of mind at the time. “Faster”, “Revol”, and “She Is Suffering” are the standout tracks, with the band musically going back to a more punk sound than before…something they say they achieved by not listening to any more American music. Edwards wrote the majority of the lyrics, and the rest of the band sounds inspired.

But The Holy Bible will be forever remembered for what happened afterwards. In February of 1995, Edwards disappeared. He has never been found, and he was declared officially dead in 2008. The band released an album with lyrics he left behind in 2009, and the legend of Edwards has become bigger than the band itself. They carry on, but to this day, the best place to hear Manic Street Preachers is The Holy Bible. It’s far from perfect, but it’s also as emotional a document as you’ll find in rock. And even though American success has eluded the band and the album, both are well worth hearing, and both are important in the development of the British music scene. It might take a little time to get the groove, but it’s worth the patience it takes.

1983-CHRYSALIS
Produced By HUEY LEWIS & THE NEWS

1. The Heart Of Rock & Roll
2. Heart And Soul
3. Bad Is Bad
4. I Want A New Drug
5. Walking On A Thin Line
6. Finally Found A Home
7. If This Is It
8. You Crack Me Up
9. Honky Tonk Blues

If you've never heard Sports, you obviously weren't alive in 1983. For a brief time, Lewis was everywhere, with his hit single from Back To The Future, and this mega million selling disc. The hits were everywhere, and the MTV generation ate it up. 5 singles got heavy airtime, and for a minute, it seemed like Huey Lewis was going to take over the world. "The Heart Of Rock & Roll", "Heart And Soul", "Walking On A Thin Line", "If This Is It", and especially "I Want A New Drug" were on every radio station, in every car, and at every party. The News was actually a pretty good band, and Lewis' pop chops made for a perfect vehicle to stardom. The rest is decent filler, except for the desecration of Hank Williams' "Honky Tonk Blues".

Sports has gotten a bit thinner and cheesier with every passing year. The hits weren't really held up by much, and Lewis' quick fall from grace ("Hip To Be Square") hasn't helped. Now, it's more of a curiosity than anything else...did you guys really listen to this stuff in the 80's? Yep. We sure did.

8. (7) Down 1
1976 – EPIC
Produced By JEFF GLIXMAN & KANSAS

1. Carry On Wayward Son
2. The Wall
3. What’s On My Mind
4. Miracles Out Of Nowhere
5. Opus Insert
6. Questions Of My Childhood
7. Cheyenne Anthem
8. Magnum Opus

Progressive rock in the 70’s was a big deal…big enough for bands like Emerson, Lake & Palmer, Yes and Genesis to be getting significant radio play with catchy pop songs that were completely out of character. Into that mix fell Kansas, an American entry into the prog game that was mostly dominated by British bands. Kansas had made three albums that almost no one even noticed, and singer Steve Walsh (who, a decade later, would have undoubtedly been fronting a hair metal band) had come down with a case of writers block. Enter keyboardist Kerry Livgren, who not only kept the prog ship on track, but who also had a handful of pop hits up his sleeve. Four, to be exact. Kansas would enjoy its day in the sun, thanks to “Carry On Wayward Son” and “What’s On My Mind” from Leftoverture, followed by “Point Of Know Return” and “Dust In The Wind” from the next album…and then it was back to being obscure for Kansas.

The two hits are catchy indeed, and when not overplayed as they were during the 70’s, they sound pretty good on Classic Rock radio. Also, to their credit, they kept everything under the ten minute mark, and the band most definitely had the chops for progressive rock. About as good as American prog ever got. But, despite the album title, these guys really took themselves way too seriously, and they drive that home with instrumental attacks like “Magnum Opus”. Kansas soldiered on and made 14 studio albums before they were through, and they were actually pretty much a Christian band by 1983. They never came close to matching their commercial peak of Leftoverture and Point Of Know Return. This is the best you’ll find from them, a band that was at their best in the beginning of the stadium rock excess of the 70’s. And their best is very much average at best.

2017 – ATLANTIC
Produced By ADAM GRANDUCIEL

1. Up All Night
2. Pain
3. Holding On
4. Strangest Thing
5. Knocked Down
6. Nothing To Find
7. Thinking Of A Place
8. In Chains
9. Clean Living
10. You Don’t Have To Go

In 2014, The War On Drugs got it all right on their third album, Lost In The Dream. It was a perfect record, one of the greatest albums of all time. So, the question then becomes, how do you follow something like that up? To their credit, Adam Granduciel and company came pretty close to repeating the excellence of that disc. A Deeper Understanding came out in 2017, and while it’s not as fine as its predecessor, it got closer than one might expect. The War On Drugs is a throwback to sounds of rock music’s past, but the sounds they throw back to are the ones that are worth remembering. That they do so with songs that have an air of newness to them is both welcome and refreshing.

A Deeper Understanding works as a fine companion to Lost In The Dream, even though it’s a slightly lesser album. The songs here are allowed to stretch out nicely…only one track clocks in at under five minutes. The best is the eleven minute “Thinking Of A Place”, and the album starts off with a blast of the first four songs being excellent. These songs are all atmosphere pieces, haunting and beautiful. Granduciel proves that his songwriting is no fluke, and while the more uptempo songs are less compelling, the album as a whole will win you over. Even though this was not as good as the one that came before it, A Deeper Understanding still won the Grammy for Best Rock Album in 2018. Well worth the time and at least a few listens.
