1977 – KIRSHNER
Produced By JEFF GLIXMAN
1. Point Of Know Return
2. Paradox
3. The Spider
4. Portrait (He Knew)
5. Closet Chronicles
6. Lightning’s Hand
7. Dust In The Wind
8. Sparks Of The Tempest
9. Nobody’s Home
10. Hopelessly Human
Kansas became famous in 1976 with their hit “Carry On Wayward Son”, from the album Leftoverture. They then became even more famous with “Dust In The Wind”, and acoustic folky prog hit from 1977’s Point Of Know Return. Outside of that song, this album is loaded to excess with 70’s progressive rock keyboards, a cross between science fiction and Christian themes, and despite its commercial success, a sense that Kansas had already reached and passed their artistic peak. Musically, this album has some fairly satisfying moments. Lyrically…well, Kansas never did really have a whole lot to say. And on the plus side, they avoid the overly long prog opus with multiple parts (see the six part “Magnum Opus” from Leftoverture), the kind of tracks that scream excessiveness. Yet still, Kansas manages to sound bombastic and overly self important.
On the positive side, “Dust In The Wind” sounds great once in a while. The title track, despite its screeching keyboard riff, is a pretty cool song. And the best song on the album, “Portrait (He Knew)”, a song about Albert Einstein (who does that?) boasts a pretty irresistible hook and some killer harmonies. As for the rest of Point Of Know Return, this is mostly tuneless noodling without a whole lot of soloing, which would at least keep things interesting. Tracks like “Lightning’s Hand” and “Hopelessly Human” are fast and relentlessly tiring. The three better songs are hard to pass up, but the rest you can simply skip over. American prog rock at its worst. Kansas followed this up with a bombastic double live album, then released Monolith, an album that pretty much no one liked. And’s about all you need to know about Kansas.

1986 – CBS ASSOCIATED
Produced By DAVE EDMUNDS
1. Tuff Enuff
2. Tell Mer
3. Look At That, Look At That
4. Two Time My Lovin’
5. Amnesia
6. Wrap It Up
7. True Love
8. Why Get Up
9. I Don’t Care
10. Down At Antones
The Fabulous Thunderbirds formed back in 1974. They were stars of the Austin, Texas bar scene for years before getting a record deal and releasing their first album in 1979. The band centered around singer Kim Wilson and guitarist Jimmie Vaughan, later better known as the older brother of one Stevie Ray Vaughan. Their early albums, from Girls Gone Wild in 1979 through T-Bird Rhythm in 1982, showed off what the Thunderbirds did best: Chicago style blues with a Texas style boogie. But by 1986, the band had been together for a dozen years, bassist Keith Ferguson had already left, and poor record sales had strained the relationship between Wilson and Vaughan. Tuff Enuff is the band’s fifth album, and although it was their commercial breakthrough and their biggest seller, it was also the album on which the band seems to have lost their edge.
The title track was their only top 40 hit, making them officially one hit wonders. And their version of the classic “Wrap It Up” is quite fine. But, unfortunately, not even a pairing with producer Dave Edmunds (who replaced his own bandmate Nick Lowe, who had worked the previous album) could bring back the spark of the band’s early days. Make no mistake…this is a very well played album by a band that knew what it was doing…it’s just that the energy that this kind of music demands is beyond starting to slip away. So, while this sounds very good at a casual listening…there’s just not a whole lot going on once you’ve scratched the surface. The Thunderbirds best days were already behind them here, and, unfortunately, it shows. Vaughn stuck around for another four years, and Wilson continues with varied lineups to this day. Search out their earlier material, even though this is the one they are best known for. [First added to this chart: 06/01/2026]

2009 – FAT POSSUM
Produced By MIKE MCCARTHY
1. The Mountain
2. Could Be So Happy
3. Early In The Morning
4. Hold Your Head High
5. Out At Sea
6. Nothing Seems The Same
7. Wide Awake
8. So Quiet
9. Had To Go
10. Witchypoo
11. Sway
Heartless Bastards came booming out of Cincinnati as indie legends. Legends because it’s rare for a female fronted band to rock like this one does. Erika Wennerstrom is the front and face of the band (she is, by this, their third album, already the only remaining original member) and the only constant in an ever changing lineup. The Mountain was produced by the guy who produces Spoon’s albums, and introduces growth and new elements into their music. Mainly, an interesting touch of twang. The title track features steel guitar, and there are violin, mandolin and banjo added to the Bastards wall of rock. And while this band is tuneful, you won’t find a hint of a hit single here…although there very well could have been a handful. On The Mountain, they mix pretty acoustic numbers with loud rockers well, changing things up just enough to hold your interest throughout. And that interest is rewarded nicely.
Wennerstrom is a passionate vocalist, although she may not be for everyone. She’s not raspy by any means, but her voice has a somewhat lesser dark quality reminiscent of Chrissie Hynde. Which seems to work well on the quieter numbers. The centerpiece of The Mountain is the acoustic “Had To Go”, a slow burning track featuring a surprising banjo that is mesmerizing. This track makes the album worthwhile alone. “Be So Happy” and “Out To Sea” are also standouts. Wennerstrom is, make no mistake, a rocker, and she shows it with glee on the heavier songs. This is a band that displays great growth on each of their albums, showing that they are not satisfied with being complacent and sounding the same from disc to disc. They are still at it, and while not big time famous, well worth checking out. A hard working band that is determined to make it from year to year…what rock & roll should be all about.

For the longest time, the only live Led Zeppelin you could find that wasn't from a crappy bootleg was the somewhat tired The Song Remains The Same. They fixed that with How The West Was Won, and to a lesser degree, BBC Sessions. The sound quality is brilliant, but the song selection is limited (disc one was record in 1969, disc two in 1971). There are also several repeated tracks (3 versions of "Communication Breakdown alone on disc one?).
The really good stuff is terrific, and it's cool to hear them play the fourth album songs fresh out of the studio. There's plenty to recommend this, and if you're a fan, this is a must have. A look at the band in its early heyday...a nice piece of rock history. [First added to this chart: 04/16/2026]

4. Kill Me
5. My Head

7. Stillnaut Riyan
8. The Strong Suit
The heavy industrial music of Nine Inch Nails influenced a slew of young musicians in the 90’s. One of these was Baltimore’s Rjyan Claybrook, who records under the name Cex. His first album came out while he was still in high school, and his sound had developed over the years from what is known as intelligent dance music (mostly instrumental) to the Trent Reznor influenced darker industrial sound of his seventh album, Maryland Mansions. Because Claybrook is a true independent, he makes his own kind of records. Which turns out to be interesting, for sure. An earlier album was named for the Britney Spears release, Oops I Did It Again, while a later album called Actual Fucking was actually about a bunch of different US cities. As for Maryland Mansions, Claybrook acknowledges that this is heavily influenced by NIN, right down to the album title that is really close to one of Reznor’s early protégé’s.
Claybrook plays pretty much everything here, and he handles both the singing and rapping. This could almost be classified as an EP, as it’s woefully short…Maryland Mansions clocks in at only 25 minutes. This is a darker and much more industrial work than anything Cex had released before. The album opens with “Drive Off A Mountain”, a strange industrial adventure, then takes a sharp left turn to “Stop Eating”, which is a rap song about how food is killing us all. This is what Maryland Mansions is like. The music can be unexpected, and lyrically puzzling…but you can sure as hell dance to it. Claybrook has released ten albums since this one, and has never been afraid to alter his musical direction. He’s lately been distracted by theater, but it’s a good bet that he’ll be back to recording soon. A strange, but pretty satisfying disc from an under the radar and not so well known artist.

1992-SLASH/REPRISE
Produced By MATT WALLACE & FAITH NO MORE
1. Land Of Sunshine

3. MidLife Crisis

5. Smaller And Smaller
6. Everything's Ruined
7. Malpractice
8. Kindergarten
9. Be Aggressive
10. A Small Victory
11. Crack Hitler
12. Jizzlobber
13. Midnight Cowboy
Faith No More was formed in 1982, but it took them a long time to get their lineup straight. After going through numerous lead singers (including Courtney Love), they found Mike Patton, who took the band to a completely different level, particularly on the single "Epic" from The Real Thing. Angel Dust is the follow up to that album, the first on which Patton has a say in the songwriting...and it's great. Patton's vocals are frightening, Jim Martin's guitar is powerful, but it's the keyboard work of Roddy Bottum that really give this album its edge...at a time when keyboards were so not cool. Every song sounds like it's going to explode into shrapnel. Highly aggressive and yet very listenable stuff. "MidLife Crisis", "Land Of Sunshine" and "Everything's Ruined" are highlights. The album ends with a straightforward reading of the theme from "Midnigtht Cowboy".
Unfortunately, Martin left after this album, and Faith No More was never able to build on what they did on this album. It still sounds great today, though. Well worth having. [First added to this chart: 04/02/2026]

If you have no faith in hip hop, then you simply have not heard To Pimp A Butterfly. Kendrick Lamar’s third album is probably not only the best album of 2015, it’s a straight out masterpiece. This is not just a rap album. It features elements of jazz, funk, r&b, and soul. It’s avant-garde. It’s experimental. It flows like a mixtape, and it’s important. Not only is it musically captivating from start to finish, it’s also emotionally and culturally and politically viable. Lamar had already proven himself to be an up and coming star before this, but here, he transcends all of what was expected of him. He recalls here the power of racially fueled subjects that Public Enemy burned through in the 90’s. He asks important questions about race, crime and life, and he does it with the touch of a musical genius. To Pimp A Butterfly is simply masterful, and should be listened to with an open mind by all.
“Wesley’s Theory” is about actor Wesley Snipes and his having been jailed for tax evasion. “King Kunta” deals with negative African American stereotypes. “U” is Lamar dealing with depression. There are so many different subjects, and so many different sounds…and somehow, it all fits together perfectly. To Pimp A Butterfly jumps out at you from every angle. It’s raw yet beautiful. It’s coarse yet intelligent. It’s shocking yet truthful. AND it was a hit. Five hit singles and 11 Grammy nominations. Wild yet accessible. I could go on and on and not run out of superlatives for this album. I’m learning to appreciate and understand and love hip hop…I adore this album, respect it greatly, and don’t want to be without it in my life. His fourth album, Damn, came out in 2017 and continued the path that Lamar set down on this album. I cannot wait to see what he has in store for us next. [First added to this chart: 04/01/2026]
