The 2004 Tom Waits album Real Gone is a protest LP of the highest order. Twisted, snarling and tortured as you would expect from Waits. Includes political charged songs such as Day After Tomorrow a protest against the Iraq War. Any Waits fans out there? |

The 1975 Keith Jarrett live album The Koln Concert is a performance of legend. Show was organized by 17-year-old Vera Brandes, and held at Opera House in Cologne. Jarrett performed on a poor rehearsal piano during the show. He adapted and the result was spectacular. |

The 1975 debut album Dreamboat Annie by then Vancouver based band Heart gave them the nickname ‘the female Led Zeppelin’. Following tensions with the record label, the LP failed to receive the commercial success it deserved. Love Crazy on You. |

The 4th album by the Swedish sisters known as First Aid Kit, Ruins, was worth the 4-year wait. The album is fraught with sorrow and expression from break-ups. Love Fireworks and It’s A Shame. Great harmonies as always. |
