Produced Richard and Karen Carpenter This band I feel is so underrated in music history. To me, their talent is on the same level as so many other musicians. Maybe the only disadvantage was they mostly chose material of songs for their albums although Richard Carpenter did co-write a few of their hits. I love…… Continue reading Horizon: The Carpenters (1975)

Bob Dylan Bringing it all back home (1965)
Produced Tom Wilson This in my opinion is the album that served as a preview of where Dylan was going next. As if he wanted to prepare his fans, he delivered an album with one side electric and the other side acoustic similar to his previous albums. No matter where you stand on him going…… Continue reading Bob Dylan Bringing it all back home (1965)
Sunbomb Evil and Devine (2021)
I am a fan of Stryper and Michael Sweet, the projects he has done that I have listened to he always produces quality music. He is the main reason I got this album.

John Lennon: Raw and Simple, 50th Anniversary edition Plastic Ono Band (2021)
Produced John Lennon, Yoko Ono, and Phil Spector (original album). New edition produced and supervised by Yoko Ono. Just like it was done with Imagine, we get this re-issue of Lennon’s first album. It is one of rock’s most important albums because I don’t think never before had an icon like a former Beatle bare…… Continue reading John Lennon: Raw and Simple, 50th Anniversary edition Plastic Ono Band (2021)
Remembering Kurt Cobain (1967-1994)
It was a day I won’t forget. It is one of that news that you don’t expect and it hits you hard. Not because you knew the person, just because of the tragedy and the feeling of sadness it leaves. I’m talking about April 5, 1994. It was the day Kurt Cobain ended his life.…… Continue reading Remembering Kurt Cobain (1967-1994)
Bob Dylan 1970 (2021)
When it comes down to Bob Dylan I was impressed with all the bootleg series because they contained so many songs never released. The latest releases are more of outtakes, which is great don’t get me wrong. I can only think of two artists that I enjoy hearing albums of outtakes and the two artists…… Continue reading Bob Dylan 1970 (2021)
