Month: February 2023
World Records, No. 4: Tom T. Hall - ‘In Search of a Song’ (1971)
In search of a song, and a connection.
The Boom-or-Bust Jukebox - #1 (2023): (Jason Isbell & The 400 Unit, Ruston Kelly, Caitlyn Smith, etc.)
Some underwhelming selections from usually reliable names.
Clusterpluck Album Reviews: Kelsea Ballerini, ERNEST, and Chase Rice
Sticking to the mainstream for this roundup, and it goes better than expected!
World Records, No. 3: Dolly Parton - ‘Coat of Many Colors’ (1971)
A coat of many, many colors, indeed.
Clusterpluck Album Reviews: Sundy Best, Brit Taylor, and Shania Twain
Featuring two great projects and a real clunker.
World Records, No. 2: Loretta Lynn - ‘Coal Miner’s Daughter’ (1971)
Despite predating the album concept, ‘Coal Miner’s Daughter’ still somehow stands as a complete artistic statement.
