Oscar Brown Jr. & Luiz Henrique- Finding A New Friend- ****
(Excellent!)
The Ethiopians- Songs Of Our Forefathers- ***1/2
Wet Leg- moisturizer- ****
Los Lobos- Colossal Head- ****1/2
(This needs to be considered as one of their best. It opens strong and ends stronger.)
Fafa de Belem- Tamba-Taja- ****
(Fantastic recommendation from our friend pmac. Percussive, emotional, triumphant.)
The Action- Highlights From "Shadows & Reflections" (Personal Playlist)- ****
(I wrote this on Burning Wood in 2018- "Produced by George Martin, The Action were doing what bands like the
Small Faces and The Creation were doing, but to fewer ears. Both Paul Weller & Phil Collins have cited The Action as their favorite band." Every time I listen, I can hear why. Pushing them again because they are soooo good.)
Cheap Trick- S/T (1977)- ****
Sugar Pie DeSanto- Use What You Got: Complete Singles (Personal Edit)- ***1/2
Bash & Pop- Friday Night Is Killing Me- ****
(Great on any night. This, Paul's "14 Songs" and the 'Mats "Boink!!" are my three favorite Replacements' albums. Put'em on shuffle and see what I mean.)

Glad you liked the Oscar Brown and Fa Fa. That Fa Fa record is infectious.
Kiko got many critics raving, but Colossal Head is tighter and a lot more fun.

Los Lobos - Colossal Head is a great spin though my favorite is still one of their earlier efforts - How Will The Wolf Survive? . Also a fan of their more recent set of covers - Native Sons.
