The latest album, Good Souls Better Angels, by Grammy-winning singer-songwriter Lucinda Williams rips out your soul. The LP leaves you emotionally spent, Lucinda’s raw voice, the dark and timely subject matter…fantastic LP. |

The 1971 album L.A. Woman by The Doors was lead-singer Jim Morrison’s last. Jim died 3 months after release. Includes Love Her Madly, the title track and Riders on the Storm. Mostly loved by critics, but does it make your Doors top 3? |

The 1998 album Take Off And Landing by the Japanese DJ and Producer Yoshinori Sunahara is 20 years old today! A floating and melodic release sitting between the Ambient and Dance genres. My Love Is Like A Red, Red Rose sticks out like a sore thumb, but I kind of like it! |

The 1979 eponymous debut from Athens Georgia’s The B52’s. Superb B-movie kitsch. Love Rock Lobster & Planet Claire. Do you dig? |
