2008 – NETWERK RECORDS
Produced By DON WAS
1. Alabama High-Test
2. Highway Halo
3. The Greatest Hustler Of All
4. Methamphetamine
5. Next Go ‘Round
6. Humdinger
7. Motel In Memphis
8. That Evening Sun
9. Mary’s Kitchen
10. Crazy Eyes
11. Tennessee Pusher
12. Lift Him Up
13. Caroline
Old Crow Medicine Show has always been an impressive group. Their first two albums, O.C.M.S and Big Iron World, are filled with hits and fine songs. Tennessee Pusher is their third effort, and it’s more serious than the first two. It features more slow material, and the subject matter is heavier than what they had released previously. But it all still suits their country folk and old timey sound. There are still fun moments here…”Humdinger” is a hoot, while “Alabama High-Test” is rollicking good time. But there are darker moments. “Motel In Memphis” recalls MLK, while “Methamphetamine” and “Tennessee Pusher” show that Old Crow can be very good with slower and sadder material. This is a more mature version of Old Crow Medicine Show. Still very good, but not as much fun as before.
Part of the change may be in replacing producer David Rawlings with the less country Don Was. Also, guitarist, singer and banjo player Critter Fuqua provides only backup vocals, being replaced by newcomer Gill Landry. But there’s still enough here to make Tennessee Pusher worthwhile. “Crazy Eyes”, “Mary’s Kitchen”, and the seven minute “The Greatest Hustler Of All” stand with the aforementioned tracks to make this a good listen. The playing is exceptional as always, and the Old Crow vocals are as fine as ever. It’s different from the first two, but it’s also a pretty good album. This is a group that’s hard to go wrong with, and they’re still at it, making music that recalls classic country and old time music in ways that keep the music from yesterday, thankfully, alive and well.

1970 – A&M / POLYDOR
Produced By JACK DAUGHERTY
1. We’ve Only Just Begun
2. Love Is Surrender
3. Maybe It’s You
4. Reason To Believe
5. Help
6. (They Long To be) Close To You
7. Baby It’s You
8. I’ll Never Fall In Love Again
9. Crescent Moon
10. Mr. Gruder
11. I Kept On Loving You
12. Another Song
At first glance, this is a pop throwaway. Do not be fooled by the negative press that this album and this duo has received over the years and the decades. Put this record on and let yourself be simply wowed by what you hear. The second album by Carpenters (Richard and Karen) was critically damned fifty years ago, but it also earned them eight Grammy nominations. I am here to tell you that the negative hype that has surrounded Close To You is a sham. This album is not perfect by any means…it’s also a lot better than you would expect it to be. Not just for Karen’s amazing voice…but for plenty of other things.
The vocals by the pair and Richard’s arrangements are stunning. He was always overshadowed by his sister, but he proves he belongs here. He co wrote four of the songs on “Close To You”, which also includes 3 Bacharach tunes and a nicely done Beatles song (“Help”), as well as Tim Hardin’s great “Reason To Believe”. Yes, it is ultimately Karen’s singing that wins you over, but take a good listen. There are a lot of other worthy things going on within these grooves. And don’t forget what may be the duo’s best song ever, “We’ve Only Just Begun”. Close To You a lot better than you probably remember it being. Well worth a spin!

1997 – WARNER BROS.
Produced By PHIL EK
1. Randy Described Eternity
2. I Would Hurt A Fly
3. Stop The Show
4. Made-Up Dreams
5. Velvet Waltz
6. Out Of Site
7. Kicked It In The Sun
8. Untrustable / Part 2 (About Someone Else)
Straight outta Boise. Built To Spill has been, since 1992, guitarist and singer Doug Martsch and a forever rotating cast of players…Martsch once said that his intention was to be the only permanent member of the band, which he was for quite a few years. In 1995, they were signed to a major label, and the resulting album, Perfect From Now On, was a fine effort. Martsch follows in the footsteps of the likes of Neil Young and J. Mascis to become a rare thing…a guitar hero for the nineties. This album features more intricate songwriting from Martsch, longer songs, and even a cello on five of the eight songs. A band that should have been much bigger, and an album that should be more listened to and talked about than it is, Perfect From Now On is an indie rock dream come true.
Not everything here is perfect, but the tracks that are make this more than worth the time. Three songs here stand out above the rest (all over six minutes in length): the opener, “Randy Described Eternity”, will grab you and hold you. It’s the perfect start for the album. “I Would Hurt A Fly” is just as good, and the centerpiece, “Velvet Waltz”, is simply brilliant. Martsch’s guitar work is stellar, and it sounds cool like alternative rock was supposed to be. Martsch still keeps Built To Spill alive after eight albums, though there hasn’t been any new material since 2015’s Untethered Moon. Keep your eyes and ears open…there’s bound to be something coming at some point. In the meantime, give Perfect From Now On a spin…you’ll be happy you did. [First added to this chart: 07/14/2026]

2001 – K RECORDS
Produced By PHIL ELVERUM
1. I Want Wind To Blow
2. The Glow Pt. 2
3. The Moon
4. Headless Horseman
5. My Roots Are Strong And Deep
6. Instrumental
7. The Mansion
8. Untitled
9. (Something)
10. I’ll Not Contain You
11. The Gleam Pt. 2
12. Map
13. You’ll Be In The Air
14. I Want To Be Cold
15. I Am Bored
16. I Felt My Size
17. Instrumental
18. I Felt Your Shape
19. Samurai Sword
20. My Warm Blood
Just…wow. The Microphones main career was fairly short, between 1996 and 2003. The Glow Pt. 2 is their third album, and has grown in stature to be one of the best albums of its decade…and of all time. Phil Elverum is the main songwriter and central member, and he makes music that is nowhere near ordinary. Get ready for this one…strap yourself in, and take your time (it may take a bit to click for you)…this is one hell of a wild ride. This album has everything. It’s lo-fi, indie folk, noise, ambient, soft, chaotic, amateurish and ultimately independent. This record covers more ground than any album I have ever heard, and it does so almost effortlessly. This is simply masterful.
The best tracks are the first three…what an incredible start to this! But there isn’t a significant drop off. Everything here is an adventure. A journey. Unhinged yet excellent, massively flawed yet perfect. There’s more hiss on this than on the amateur tapes I made with my guitar as a teenager…and you’ll forgive every second of it. Because what makes The Glow Pt. 2 special is that absolutely everything works. Copies of this are not easy to come by…if you see one, snatch it up. Take your time. Let things like the shocking difference between “I Felt Your Shape” and “Samurai Sword” sink in. This album is a work of art. A massively underappreciated classic, and one of the greatest albums in the history of ever. Just…wow. [First added to this chart: 07/04/2026]

1978 – TUFF GONG / ISLAND
Produced By BOB MARLEY & THE WAILERS
1. Easy Skanking
2. Kaya
3. Is This Love
4. Sun Is Shining
5. Satisfy My Soul
6. She’s Gone
7. Misty Morning
8. Crisis
9. Running Away
10. Time Will Tell
11. Smile Jamaica (Version)
Kaya, the tenth album by Bob Marley & The Wailers, came as something of a surprise. The material was all recorded during the Exodus sessions in 1977…but Kaya sounds almost nothing like Exodus. This album is a sharp turn into the land of mellow for Marley, stepping away from the political and militant songs of his past and grooving more on things like love, peace and ganja. It makes sense, as his return to Jamaica, which coincided with the album, was framed around a concert called One Love Peace. The big hit here was “Is This Love”, a song whose sound is the center of Kaya. This is where the Rastafarians and the hippies began to become as one…Marley had created basically Grateful Dead music for the world music crowd.
Not that Kaya is a bad album…it most certainly is not. The mellower arrangements do work, and while it’s not lyrically as deep as Marley had been in the past, it’s still quite good. This was, most definitely, a side road for the band. The next album, Survival, returned to the militant message that the Wailers had been known for. So who knows…maybe Bob felt the need to interrupt his message and make an album about peace and love. Nothing wrong with that at all. In fact, Kaya serves as a refreshing break for Marley in his catalog. And it proves that he was never a one trick pony…he could play more than just the political when he chose to. Not his best record…but it’s still all good here. [First added to this chart: 06/29/2026]

2000 – RISE ABOVE
Produced By ROLF STARTIN
1. Vinum Sabbathi
2. Funeralopolis
3. Weird Tales: Electric Frost / Golgatha / Altar Of Melektaus
4. Barbarian
5. I, The Witchfinder
6. The Hills Have Eyes
7. We Hate You
8. Dopethrone
9. Mind Transferal
If you like your metal deep, loud and as heavy as can be, then Electric Wizard is just the band for you. This British group has been pouring out the sludge since their 1994 self titled debut, and they have not stopped. But it was on their second and third albums, 1997’s Come My Fanatics…and 2000’s Dopethrone that Electric Wizard cemented their place of importance in the world of heavy music. The band was a trio at this time (only singer/guitarist Jus Osborn remains from the original lineup), and their powerful mix of stoner rock and doom metal is something to behold. Dopethrone is magnificent and loud, and is as great as any metal album of its time. Which is truly saying a lot. This is the record that put Electric Wizard on the map to stay.
This band isn’t afraid to stretch out instrumentally…four of the tracks here (including the bonus track “Mind Transferal”) run over ten minutes long, filled not with soloing, but with deep and powerful landscapes of terror and doom. Witchcraft and the occult are common themes here, and this record is, indeed, a frightening one. Osborn’s vocals are eerie and back in the mix instead of in your face…it’s the music that’s the star here. This is not a record with hit singles, and you won’t hear any of it on the radio, and I don’t think that these guys care about that at all. Dopethrone is a fantastic piece of metal that does not rely on speed or screeching guitar pyrotechnics. And you probably won’t ever be moved to sing along with it. But it’s a truly great metal album. A must have. [First added to this chart: 06/02/2026]

1992 – DALI
Produced By CHRIS GOSS & KYUSS
1. Thumb

Before he formed Queens Of The Stone Age, Josh Homme was the founder and guitarist for Kyuss, a heavy stoner metal band that released four albums between 1991 and 1995. Blues For The Red Sun is the second of those four Kyuss releases, and while it may not be their most popular album (not even close), it may be their most important. Blues For The Red Sun was praised by critics, but sold less than 40,000 copies upon release. But it has survived to this day, kept alive by its influence on future stoner rock bands and by the fact that despite its poor sales performance, it’s one hell of a great heavy album. It’s been compared to the works of bands like Black Sabbath and Alice In Chains, and it holds up well alongside both of those iconic bands.
There were no hits here, but drummer Brant Bjork’s “Green Machine” could have, should have been. “Thong Song” and “Thumb” are also standout tracks. The album contains five instrumental tracks, with the nonexistent lyrics credited to singer John Garcia. (He is also credited with writing the last track, which is simply him saying “yeah”.) This record is deeply loud and heavy, and sits on several critic’s lists of greatest metal albums of all time. And it really is that good. So while the follow up, Welcome To Sky Valley, may be better known…Blues For The Red Sun is really where Kyuss made their mark. Homme has said there will never be a reunion, and that’s okay. He gets that for bands, you can pretty much never recapture that magic. I’m good with having this album around to remind me how great they really were. [First added to this chart: 06/01/2026]

Long maligned and forgotten due to his status as America's first TV manufactured teen idol, Rick Nelson gained respect with his 1972 hit "Garden Party". But despite growing up on TV with his parents, Ozzie & Harriet, and having his singing career boosted by the show, Nelson's work as a musician from 1957 to 1962 remains sadly ignored. When Elvis Presley went into the Army, there were only a small handul of Americans to keep the genre alive, and Nelson was one of them. This is a fine set of songs from the early days of rock and into the American dark ages, the early 60's.
"Hello Mary Lou" is the obvious highlight, but there are plenty more as well. During that '57-'62 period, Nelson worked hard and was quite prolific. This is maybe the best collection of his work that exists, and it's an important document of rock and roll being kept alive in America at a time when it was nearly dead. Teen idol status aside, this is where Nelson shows he's much more than that. He comes out alive...something many of his peers can't say at all. [First added to this chart: 04/29/2026]

Long maligned and forgotten due to his status as America's first TV manufactured teen idol, Rick Nelson gained respect with his 1972 hit "Garden Party". But despite growing up on TV with his parents, Ozzie & Harriet, and having his singing career boosted by the show, Nelson's work as a musician from 1957 to 1962 remains sadly ignored. When Elvis Presley went into the Army, there were only a small handul of Americans to keep the genre alive, and Nelson was one of them. This is a fine set of songs from the early days of rock and into the American dark ages, the early 60's.
