Absolutely Live is the only live album released by The Doors during the lifetime of Jim Morrison, and the only one to come out during the active career of the band. It came out in 1970, between the albums Morrison Hotel and L.A. Woman. There are some real positives here. Absolutely Live showcases the instrumental abilities of guitarist Robby Krieger and keyboardist Ray Manzarek, and it features a handful of songs not on their studio albums. It also includes the full performance of “Celebration Of The Lizard” (tracks 14 through 20). And there are spots where Morrison sounds great. But there are also places where he sounds like he couldn’t care less about what was going around him. And, of course, as goes Morrison, so go The Doors.
Producer Paul Rothchild has said that there are around 2000 edits on this album. He would have to sometimes piece together one song from multiple shows because he couldn’t get complete takes that were solid enough. The idea was to get the ultimate Doors live experience, but that doesn’t seem to be what they honestly got. Truth is, Absolutely Live is at it’s best when Morrison isn’t singing…or talking, or screaming (the lead vocal on “Close To You” is actually by Manzarek). “When The Music’s Over” is the high point, with Morrison interacting with the crowd perfectly and the band in a complete frenzy. Absolutely Live is, ultimately, a hit and miss affair. Great one moment, flat the next. It’s a live rollercoaster, interesting and important because of who it is. Not their best work, but worth at least a listen. [First added to this chart: 02/07/2025]

1971 – PHILLIPS
Produced By ROBERTO MENESCAL
1. Deus Lhe Pague
2. Cotidiano
3. Desalento
4. Construção
5. Cordão
6. Olha Maria
7. Samba De Orly
8. Valsinha
9. Minha História
10. Acalanto
The wealth and volume of great Brazilian music cannot be overstated. Chico Buarque began recording in 1966, and with this later album, he began searching for a sound beyond bossa nova and exploring his own take on music. Buarque has been a mainstay in the music of Brazil, with over 60 albums to his credit (he has also authored nine books, five plays and three films). Construção may be his best and most important album. The songs are all in Portuguese, but the themes are strong. Buarque speaks out against the military dictatorships that he had been witness to, making this a highly political album. But it’s also a beautiful album. The music here is simply lovely, a perfect example of what treasures await you on a journey into the music of his country. This is one of the greatest Brazilian albums ever made.
The title track is stunning, and alone makes having this record worthwhile. “Samba De Orly” recognizes and remembers Buarque’s bossa nova roots. “Olha Maria” is simply lovely, as is “Minha História”, while “Cotidiano” makes protest music sound so much more than palatable. His career has been long and storied, his life an artistic adventure…and it all comes back to this record from 1971. Chico Buarque, and this album in particular, can open the doors for you to artists like Caetano Veloso and Milton Nascimento and Gilberto Gil and Antonio Carlos Jobim. The possibilities are endless, and the depth of the music of Brazil is stunning. Let Chico Buarque be the beginning of that journey. This is a perfect place to start. A beautiful and marvelous work by one of the greats of music, regardless of the language. [First added to this chart: 04/22/2025]

1976-ISLAND
Produced By BUNNY WAILER
1. Blackheart Man
2. Fighting Against Convictions
3. The Oppressed Song
4. Fig Tree
5. Dream Land
6. Rasta Man
7. Reincarnated Souls
8. Armagideon (Armagedon)
9. Bide Up
10. This Train
Bunny Wailer grew up in the same house as Bob Marley, and was an original member of The Wailers. Blackheart Man is his first solo album, and it's a gem. As good as reggae can get, Wailer utilized his connections well. Marley, Peter Tosh, Robbie Shakespeare, and many other of the leading lights of reggae lend a hand, and the results are superb. Every song is stunning, beautiful, and memorable. Wailer, a percussionist and vocalist, proves he can write with the best of them, and shows that his vocals were grossly underused in The Wailers. This is a classic reggae album, and if you're a fan of the genre, you should definitely seek this out.
Wailer went on to win 3 Grammys in his career. He now lives on a farm in Jamaica, and is one of only two surviving members of The Wailers. [First added to this chart: 05/15/2025]

1972 – A&M
Produced By JERRY LEIBER & MIKE STOLLER
1. Late Again
2. Stuck In The Middle With You
3. Another Meaning
4. I Get By
5. Outside Looking In
6. Johnny’s Song
7. Next To Me
8. Jose
9. Gets So Lonely
10. You Put Something Better Inside Me
Stealers Wheel was never going to last very long. The songwriting team of Gerry Rafferty and Joe Egan had already split when their self titled debut album was released in 1972, with Rafferty having left to go back to his young solo career. But when “Stuck In The Middle With You” became a massive hit, Rafferty returned. And although the rest of Stealers Wheel splintered, Rafferty and Egan soldiered on for three more years before almost non-existent record sales ended their partnership. But their one huge hit, “Stuck In The Middle”, was one of the best things about AM radio in the early seventies. And the rest of this album is actually pretty good. Not great, but it does show that the pair had the goods to become a formidable partnership.
Unfortunately, there were no more hits in the band. And there was just the one here, making Stealers Wheel a bona fide one hit wonder. But what a hit it was. Inescapably catchy and a perfect pop guitar track, the song made them stars, and paved the way for Rafferty’s late seventies successes (“Baker Street”, “Right Down The Line”). This album is worthwhile not just because of that one hit, however. There are some really nice tracks here, and it’s cool to hear just how well Rafferty and Egan worked together. In a perfect world, Stealers Wheel would have been a mainstay of the decade…but their constant state of turnover and the just barely missing follow up hit determined that it was not to be. But this is still a nice listen. [First added to this chart: 11/10/2025]

1974 – DERAM
Produced By DAVID HITCHCOCK
1. Freefall
2. Supertwister
3. The White Rider
4. Earthrise
5. Lady Fantasy
BONUS TRACKS
6. Supertwister (Live)
7. Mystic Queen (Live)
8. Arubaluba (Live)
9. Lady Fantasy (Original Basing Street Studios Mix)
Camel has been called the unsung heroes of seventies progressive rock, and for good reason. This English band has been together, except for a brief hiatus in the 80’s, since 1971, although now with only one original member. They have always had a very loyal following, and have been able to survive as a worldwide touring act despite having never become a big commercial success. Unlike Yes or King Crimson or the other prog acts of the seventies, this band never had a hit like “Roundabout” or “21st Century Schizoid Man”, and they never had an album that burned up the charts. But as they show on their second album, Mirage, these guys can play. There’s a lot of jazzier influences at play here, with sparse vocals and even some flute played by guitarist Andrew Latimer.
Progressive rock from this era tended to be overblown and in your face artsy, but Camel manages to keep that to a minimum here. Sure, there are a pair of longer tracks (“The White Rider” and “Lady Fantasy”, each with three separate “movements”), and there is a lot what makes prog so tedious (or great, depending on your tastes). And yes, one of the longer tracks is based on The Lord Of The Rings. But ultimately, Mirage is a well played and very well constructed album, and despite its lack of commercial success, it’s one of the finest 70’s prog records…which is saying a lot. The four bonus tracks add about a half an hour to the original album, which makes sitting through the 2002 remaster a bit more laborious than it should be. But check out Mirage…it’s a forgotten gem from the 70’s. [First added to this chart: 11/12/2025]
