1970 and stuff...

Thea Gilmore – “John Wesley Harding” = 2 Stars
It has more strengths than weaknesses but still a bit too “adult contemporary” for me to get fully behind it.

Warren Haynes – “Man In Motion” = 2 Stars
Thea Gilmore “review” here. And with not one song clocking in under five minutes, that’s a gift.

The Mavericks – Trampoline = 2 Stars
Over-produced and underwhelming. And that horn section…please stop.

Stevie Ray Vaughan – “Couldn't Stand The Weather” = 5 Stars
Perhaps even better now than it was when it came out. Yes, five stars despite its weak closer.

Yo-Yo Ma – “Plays Ennio Morricone” = 4 Stars
Two great tastes that taste great together.

G’Hits – The Stiff Records Box Set
Great collection.

Topic
15 best records of the ‘70s. Had to go to 15 as the decade was the most prolific in rock history.

The only rule I gave myself is to not repeat any artists.
And I made one last minute changes before posting. Marked *


In no particular order:
The Clash – London Calling
The Who – Who’s Next
John Lennon – Plastic Ono Band
