Don't know those particular albums, but I do like John Lee Hooker's music and have a couple of CDs of it.  :)

Laurie Anderson: O Superman - Recalling how startling she was when this recording appeared on the music scene in 1982, and hard to believe that it still sounds so modern.

One of my favourite vocalists of any genre.

Not just these six albums.

They really liked that punctuation-by-stabby-hornblasts thing in the 50s arrangements. Pity, some otherwise fine albums now are marred by it (imo).


Sergeant Rock

Soundtrack to True Detective...disturbing lyrics

the phone rings and somebody says,
"hey, they made a movie about
Mahler, you ought to go see it.
he was as f*cked-up as you are."
                               --Charles Bukowski, "Mahler"

The Highwomen



What a wonderful album!  Contemporary country at its best.  Favorite song is "Highwomen" [Yes a rewrite of "Highwayman" but way more than that.  It brought me to tears.].  Please do yourself a favor and check it out.  Also, do check out their amazing cover of Fleetwood Mac's "The Chain" which they performed on Howard Stern's Sirius XFM show.  He's uploaded it to youtube.  Gorgeous harmony and a great arrangement.  :)
