#236 Gene Clark – White Light

Sometimes I want to skip an album that I know without reservation I will hate it. White Light is one of those albums. How do I know that? Gene Clark is a country singer. The only country singer I sort of liked was Dolly Parton. Okay, I should have read more of the bio on […]

#222 Dolly Parton – Coat of Many Colors

Coat of Many Colors is the first album from country, pop iconic singer Dolly Parton. Parton is one of those rare artist who has skipped from country music to pop music successful. She has also enjoyed success in films too. Unlike Taylor Swift who did something similar Parton is endearing and has a great personality. […]

#190 Grateful Dead – American Beauty

American Beauty is the second album on the list from the Grateful Dead. I thought the previous album was a disaster. If you think Bob Dylan cannot sing, then you need to hear this band. They literally cannot sing. It was horrendous. I can attest that this is more of the same thing. I guess […]

#147 Bee Gees – Odessa

I was surprised to find the Bee Gees on this list. Not for the reason you may think. I think they are great. I really like the Bee Gees. This is not the disco playing Bee Gees of the mid-to-late 70s. This is the baroque pop band which has more than the three Gibb brothers. First […]

#142 Johnny Cash – Johnny Cash at San Quentin

Johnny Cash is on the list again. Johnny Cash at San Quentin is similar to his last album on the list. It is a live concert in prison. I hate these types of album. This album has so many things against it before I even listen to it. I do not hear any difference between […]

#141 The Flying Burrito Brothers – The Gilded Palace of Sin

The Gilded Palace of Sin is the debut album from The Flying Burrito Brother. This group was made up of band members from The Byrds. They do not stand a chance with me. Their last album was heading into country music. I want to know who paid everyone from Rolling Stone magazine to 1001 Albums […]

#102 Loretta Lynn – Don’t Come Home a Drinkin’ (With Lovin’ on Your Mind)

Loretta Lynn? She is the one who had a film made about her that I have never seen since I hate country music. Hopefully, Don’t Come Home a Drinkin’ (With Lovin’ on Your Mind) is the only album from her on the list. The title song sounds like it should come with a hashtag after […]

#99 Merle Haggard – I’m a Lonesome Fugitive

Merle Haggard is a country singer. We all know how I feel about country music. I look more forward to death more than listening to country music. I hope there is not much more country music in this book. I hope there is something redeemable on I’m a Lonesome Fugitive. Pray for me. I feel like I am […]

1001 Albums #85

The Beau Brummels fourth album Triangle came out to critical acclaim, but the fountain of hit singles did not follow the great reviews. Vocalist Sal Valentino would get comparisons to Bob Dylan and Gene Clark of The Byrds. I can tell you that he is a better singer than Clark. The album triangles on three genres: country rock, folk rock and psychedelic pop […]

1001 Albums #62

Fred Neil’s self-titled album is not easy to find anywhere. He was never successful as a folk artist. He spent his life trying to preserve the life of dolphins. Thank God. His music is interesting in the first song “Dolphins”, but the lyrics and his voice does not help me like the song. It sounds […]
