Dylan laments the passing of time and the loss of Sara his wife
and great love. This is a rich tapestry, a truly wonderful record |
|
Highway
61
Many regard this as Dylan's best album, its when the folk singer
re-invented himself as the master of rock and the master of cool |
|
Blonde
on Blonde is when Bob Dylan invented psychedelic rock, supposedly.
This is so Dylan it is almost a pastiche of itself. It also contains
some of the best songs ever written |
|
Sporting
a spiv mustache on the cover, this most recent offering is an
album of cowboy songs, and regarded as by
far the best late period Dylan, even rivalling some of his greats.
|
|
Desire
- quintessential mid period Dylan, some of his absolute classic
songs, delivered with passion. This is the story of the hurricane....... |
|
Live
66 - its this concert that assured Dylan's eternal place in the
hall of fame. Only recently available as well - if you only have
one Dylan album in your collection - make sure its this one |
|
Blistering,
he's angry, he's funny, he's witty, he's insightful, the band is
on fire - this is a very good album, Dylan at his very best |
|
Oh
Mercy, a return from the wilderness - one of several, working with
Danny Lanois, this was a new sound, a new era, a new Dylan, great
stuff. |
|
this
is Dylan in the wilderness, in retreat jamming with the band, loose,
informal, - the guys map out the terratory for the next 20 years
of rock and roll. This album is truly incredible in its creativity |
|
When
Dylan did gospel - this album outsold the whole rest of that genre's
sales combined. It is a truly brilliant and inspirational record,
his other gospel records are good but patchy - this one is great.
|
|
When
Dylan did country... he went to Nashville and played with some of
pop music's best musicians and producers. I love this album so much,
it is his most tuneful - Dylan the sweet troubadour |
|
This
marked the start of Dylan's most recent return to form. This is
reflective, experienced, and an insight into the aging artist. Bitter
in places, funny in others - I really like this album! |
|
Its
got knockin' on heaven's door on it, its was a great movie but not
really his best record, mainly filler to be honest, yet inspite
of that this remains one of my most played albums of all time -
its really nice to listen to. |
|
The
Last Waltz is the best rock concert movie eve r- Martin Scorsese
beautifully captures the Band's star studded grand finale concert.
They were ALL there; Muddy Waters, Emmylou Harris, Van Morrison,
Joni Mitchell, Neil Young and of course Dylan himself - many giving
career best performances. Get this on DVD and watch it lots of times
is my advice |
|
So
named as he make his guitar cackle like a chicken James Super Chikan
Johnson is witty, insightful, original and just dam good! This is
contemporary delta blues - recorded by a 50 something tractor driver
- straight from the fields to the recording studio |
|
Muddy
Waters sings his tribute to the songs of Big Bill Broonzy,
'It was a dream, a dream I had on my mind'.
Rootsy,
soulful and beautifully crafted, this is an act of devotion
|
|
I
lost my copy of this, I am going to have to get it again, this lady
could out Janis Janis in her vocal style and delivery with a shit
hot band to boot; very very good stuff |
|
Buddy
Guy's stinging guitar attacks and Junior Wells' power soul voice
- what a combination. The opening track, 'man of many words' is
one of the definitive blues track of all time - get it loud! |
|
Rory
at his best.
Gallagher
was a consumate blues rock player and was an explosive live performer.
I really miss him
|
|
This
is the album that first really turned me onto rock music, Philby,
Keychain and Bad Penny - this is what its all about! |
|
The
title says it all really, this is simply a blistering, seething
cauldron of blues rock and guitar mastery,
go johnny go! |
|
This
is a definitive showcase of Johnny's remarkable mastery of the blues
and its many styles and moods. This is a great cd |
|
The
whole Stones career was a build up to this DVD. This is them at
their best; live, sober, and absolutely spellbinding. They have
such a huge repetoire and they really do it justice on this set
- a must if you are a big fan |
|
everything
about Zeppelin that made them so great. Archive footage - most never
seen before and some great performances.
Led Zep were an extraordinary band, sometimes inspite of them selves
and the pomp and bullshit that went with it all. But this really
reminds you what they were all about. Something truly special! |
|
JLH,
aways was my favourite of the blues greats, he was constantly inventive,
endlessly soulful and he really knew how rock the house when required.
This is the album that relaunched the 70 something Hooker on the
global market. |
|
Thomas
Mapfumo - where to start? the man is a musical giant, amazon have
28 listisngs for him, this one recorded on his 50th birthday catches
him in a soulful mood, and typifies the chimurenga sound - the sound
of resistance |
