Jerry Garcia- Reflections (1976)- ****
(A Grateful Dead record in all but name. And a damn good one, too.)
Frank Sinatra- A Swingin' Affair! (1957)- ***1/2
Todd Rundgren- Nearly Human (1989)- ****
David Bowie- Reality (2003)- ****
Tin Machine- S/T (1989)- ****
(I will never not defend this record.)
Harry Connick Jr.- She (1995)- ****
(The inside of the CD book says "Harry Connick Jr. & His Funk Band" and that band includes George Porter Jr., Russell Batiste, Zig Modeliste and the Bonerama horns for starters. Not before or since has Harry sounded like this. I played this to death in 1995 and saw the tour, which was one of the most entertaining live shows I have ever seen.)
Soundgarden- Superunknown: Sal's Edit (1994/2025)- ****
Hole- Celebrity Skin: Sal's Edit (1998/2020)- ****
Aerosmith- Rocks (1976)-****
(The greatest rock album of all time. Really.)
Swag- Catch-All (2000)- ****
(The greatest power pop album of all time. Really.)
The Runaways- Waitin' For The Night (1977)- ***
(Cherie Currie is gone. Joan Jett takes over. An uncredited Sal Maida plays bass for the Stu Sutcliffe of the band, Vicki Blue. Fun record.)

Connick has a duos lp that was recorded in NO but never released. Toussaint, Wolfman, Art Neville and Aaron Neville are just a few of the people on it. A friend was in the studio over the 3 days it was recorded. I heard 2 of the cuts (the ones with Art and Aaron) and its amazing. Connick decided he just was done doing NO type of music (he was onto his Sinatra phase) and it just sits in the can.
Swag! Yeah, baby.
