Ennio Morricone- A Fistful Of Dollars (1967)- ****
(This is not a record I think about listening to very often, but when I do, it knocks me out.)

Prince Lincoln Thompson & The Royal Rasses- Collected (2026)- ***

(I knew nothing about these guys, but it was posted on a reggae blog I follow and they rarely let me down. Not bad, once. Kinda dubby at times. Nothing essential.)

Tyrannosaurus Rex- A Beard of Stars (1970)- ***1/2

Robert Plant- Fate Of Nations (1993)- ****

(Been awhile. Forgot how good this record is.)


Del Amitri- Can You Do Me Good? (2002)- ****
(Hard to beat "Some Other Sucker's Parade," but this follow-up has more than a few gems.)


C.C. Adcock & Friends- The Swamp Pop Summit, Live From Jazz Fest 2005 (2005)- ***1/2
The La's- S/T (1990)- ****

Cheap Trick- All Shook Up (1980) -***
(My annual attempt to like this record. It starts off so strong. 1-2-3-4! Boom. Then it's one lousy song after another.)

 


Queen- I: 2024 Remix (1973/2024)- ****

(Queen "II" remix coming on March 6th. I, for one, am very excited. They did a great job with the first album. I expect the same.)

Disliking All Shook Up is surprising news to me. It's one of my favorite Cheap Trick albums. Or am I too persuaded by the George Martin production?
