Bob Marley & The Wailers- The Capitol Session '73 (2021)- ****
(Stellar performance. Even better watching the video. Then you can see just how amazing The Wailers were as a band.)
v/a- Still I Dream Of It: Rare Works Of You: Rare Works Of Brian Wilson (1993)- ***1/2
Squeeze- Cradle To The Grave (2015)- ****
(This record is already ten years old, so can it still be considered a late career masterpiece? Check out how musical the melody is in "Haywire?" It's quite amazing to me, compared to what passes for composition these days.)
Ron Sexsmith- Hangover Terrace (2025, about half)- ***
Television- Adventure (1978)- ***1/2
Neil Finn- One Nil (2001)- ****
(This felt like a disappointment after "Try Whistling This," Neil's 1999 release, which I loved. But after a few mediocre Crowded House records, and a few more so-so solo records, "One Nil" sounds fantastic 25 years later.)
Big Star- #1 Record (1972)- ****
Bread- Anthology (1985)- ****
Colosseum II- Electric Savage (1977)- ***1/2
(Fun, fusion shred fest, sabotaged by one awful Gary Moore vocal track.)
Cheap Trick- The Latest (2009)- ****
(The beginning of the renaissance, I play this record more than any CT record other than the debut. Credit to Julian Raymond!)
The Rolling Stones- Let It Bleed (1969)- ****
