John Coltrane- Plays The Blues: Kevin Gray MONO Master (1962/2025)- ****
(In a word, stunning.)
Bobby Darin- From Hello Dolly To Goodbye Charlie (1964)- ****
(Half ballads and half swingers, and the stuff that swings is killer! Probably the definitive version of "More.")
Olive Jones- For Mary (2026)- ****
(Holding strong on second pass. This one below was the stand out on this spin.)
George Harrison- All Things Must Pass: Sides 1-3 (1970)- ****
Marshall Crenshaw- S/T (1982)- ****
Keith Richards- Main Offender (1992)-***
Aerosmith- S/T: 2024 Mix (1973/2026)-****
(My second favorite Aerosmith record gets the deluxe treatment and it's a doozy. Worth the price of admission for the first official release of the Paul's Mall show from Boston, 1973, one of my favorite live sets ever. The new mix of the album is pretty great, too. More space, and somehow a little glammy like "Rocks." A much needed boost to this legendarily lifeless recording. Great stuff.)
Aerosmith- Paul's Mall, Boston: 3/20/73 (2026)- ****
Iggy Pop- Lust For Life (1977)- ****
("Here comes my Chinese rug.")
Michael Monroe- Outerstellar (2026)- ****

Olive Jones is the best thing I've listened to this year and "Kingdom" is one of the reasons. And the girl can move.
After 2 listens to Olive Jones, I’m sure it will make my best of 2026 list. Looking forward to the Aerosmith.
Best thing I listened to yesterday was Black Sabbath - Sabbath Bloody Sabbath. It’s still my favorite of theirs and the first one I bought back in the late 70’s.
