The 2011 PJ Harvey album Let England Shake celebrates a 10th anniversary today. The LP was recorded in Eype Church in Dorset, and went on to win the Mercury Prize and an Ivor Novello Award. Polly Jean’s finest work? My favourite for sure. |
 No.1258 14/02/2020
The 4th album by The Jayhawks Tomorrow The Green Grass is 25 years old today! Country-rock at its finest, great harmonies by Gary Louris and Mark Olson, rough guitar and memorable melodies. Hard to follow Hollywood Town Hall, but a splendid effort. |
 No.892 14/02/2019
The 2nd Pavement album Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain is 25 years old today! Confession time…this was my first listen! I know, shame on me. Definitely rockier than their debut. I enjoyed it, but didn’t blow me away…I am I wrong? |
