"I first came upon Larry Young by way of Charlie Hunter, the virtuoso guitarist with a very organ-like sound; there was an interview in Guitar Player or somewhere, Hunter sounded like he worshiped at Young's feet. At one point, talking about quartal harmony or something, he said something like "If..." [+] Reply

"Laid-back folk/blues album by the in the sixties rediscovered Mississippi John Hurt." Reply
"This sophomore album features some classic songs from the Mamas and the Papas, and the chamber-like vocals and arrangements complement the group's style. On the downside, many of the filler tracks are bland and forgettable pop pieces - perhaps they felt rushed, given that this came out so soon af..." [+] Reply
"One of the best albums of the era and the best the genre has to offer. A more focused and consistent effort than their debut with even more risks, experimentation and psychedelia. Sky Saxon's vocals are fantastic and his writing is noticeably improved. The extended instrumentals are creative and ..." [+] Reply

""Supremes A Go Go" is classical Tamla-Motown featuring the great hits "Love is Like an Itching in My Heart" and "You Can't Hurry Love". Moreover the Supremes give versions of acts like Four Tops and Temptations hits with "I Can't Help Myself" as the most successful, without reaching the high stan..." [+] Reply
"Another excellent Frank Sinatra album. Strangers in the night, off course includes the hit single title track, but there is plenty of other great material. There is the lovely, summer wind, a superb version of, all or nothing at all, and an odd take on, downtown. I don't know if Frank doesn't lik..." [+] Reply
"A very good debut album by the most famous Californian psych rock band. Although it is the only one without Grace Slick, Signe Anderson had a very similar voice to hers. Marty Balin did a great job on this album, both as a songwriter and as a singer, his voice is full of 'heart and soul'. Great b..." [+] Reply
"Mark me among the minority - I don't object to Sinatra's monologue at all. In fact, I think it captures the time, place and performer perfectly - which is what a Live album is supposed to do, isn't it?
