"One of the all time jazz greats! Wynton Kelly and his trio make a perfect match for Montgomery's leads and improvisation. Indispensable for any jazz fan." Reply

"First album from the second quintet, but I can't argue with a previous comment that they are already at their peak...from which they never dropped in their three years together. While Coltrane was moving to the noisy free jazz of Ayler and Ornette etc, Miles and the quintet were keeping it much m..." [+] Reply

"This album used to confuse me. I didn't get it. I thought it was a compilation of early solo recordings of Simon whilst he was a member of Simon & Garfunkel. Then I finally stopped my nonsense and researched it. Turns out this was made when Simon was taking a bit of a hiatus from his burgeoning a..." [+] Reply

"This is hard to rate because the guitars are fantastic but that's all there is. I don't mean it like it's not enough but occasionally it feels more like a talent show than an album to me. With that said, the guitar playing is inventive and original. The melodies are catchy on each song. There are..." [+] Reply

"Excellent album with a more acoustic feel. Psychedelia hasn’t arrived yet but you can hear the direction Donovan will head in." Reply
"More hit or miss than The Zombies' later pop masterpiece, Odessey and Oracle, their debut still has plenty of wonderful songs, including the breathy, infectious hit "She's Not There," the somber, ethereal "I Remember When I Loved Her," the great little rave-up "What More Can I Do," the catchy "I ..."

"This is the best Otis Redding album I've heard personally. Though I like "Otis Blue", this one is just better in my opinion track-for-track.
