    Another album drops from the Rolling Stones in the midst of their classic run with Mick Taylor complimenting Keith Richards on guitar.  That being said, the Stones remain an act dominated and led by Richards and front-man Mick Jagger.  Today’s album is “Goat’s Head Soup”.       This album has some highlights, but overall, isn’tContinue reading “The Rolling Stones “Goat’s Head Soup” (1973)”

    The diversity of music styles always makes this experience a rich one.  Today we leave soul and funk for the southern home cooking of Lynyrd Skynyrd and their debut album, “Pronounced’ Leh-‘Nerd ‘Skin-‘Nerd”.  Rated #381 on Rolling Stone’s Top 500 Greatest Albums of All Time, this record demonstrates the raw power and musical strengthContinue reading “Lynyrd Skynyrd “Pronounced’Leh-‘Nerd ‘Skin-Nerd” (1973)”

    It’s Stevie Wonder time again, this time with one of his most accomplished and highly regarded album, “Innervisions”.  This record is rated #34 on Rolling Stone’s Top 500 Greatest Albums of All Time, and is also #5 on digitaldreamdoor.com’s Top 10 Greatest Soul Albums of All Time.  Like “Talking Book”, Stevie continues to deliverContinue reading “Stevie Wonder “Innervisions” (1973)”

    Another album today with sentimental feelings for multiple reasons, today we have “Tres Hombres” by ZZ Top.  First off, I have to pay tribute to Dusty Hill, bass player and second vocalist for the band, who recently moved on to that little Texas beer bar in the sky.  Dusty always dropped a mean bassContinue reading “Tres Hombres “ZZ Top” (1973)”

    Yesterday we had a rock band who aspired to be country outlaws, today we have the real thing with country music legend Waylon Jennings.  Today’s album is “Honky Tonk Heroes”, which is rated as the #5 album on tasteofcountry.com’s Top 10 Greatest Albums of All Time.  This particular album was created when Waylon cameContinue reading “Waylon Jennings “Honky Tonk Heroes” (1973)”

    While listening to today’s album, “Desperado”, by the Eagles, I came up with what I believe to be a new term to describe their music… “Date Night Rock”.  It’s rock enough that the guy doesn’t feel like he’s being dragged to a Michael Buble show, but with enough pop and ballad content that theContinue reading “Eagles “Desperado” (1973)”

    The road to Florida sunshine continues, and so does the burst of reggae.  Today we have our first offering from the King of Reggae himself, Bob Marley and the Wailers, and at this point in time, Peter Tosh is also a part of the fun.  Today’s album is “Catch a Fire”, which is albumContinue reading “Bob Marley “Catch a Fire” (1973)”

    As I prepare to head south for the sands and sun of Florida, what better mood setter than some legendary reggae?  This is our first real encounter with reggae, unless we count yesterday’s Zeppelin attempt, which we probably should not.  Starting us off, we have Toots and the Maytals, featuring reggae front-man legend FrederickContinue reading “Toots and the Maytals “Funky Kingston” (1973)”

    From one legendary British rock band to another, today we return to Led Zeppelin for their fifth released album, “Houses of the Holy”.  An interesting change of pace after their colossal fourth album, “Houses of the Holy” is rated #278 on Rolling Stone’s Top 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.      With a subtleContinue reading “Led Zeppelin “Houses of the Holy” (1973)”

    I consider today’s album one of the most meaningful and impactful albums in the history of rock music, and accordingly, one of the most significant blogs I will publish throughout this journey.  I have never really thought about trying to rate albums like the Rolling Stone list, but if I did, this would haveContinue reading “Pink Floyd “The Dark Side of the Moon” (1973)”
