Vol. II.  Nice.

This is the one I remember from my teenage years, and the one that blew my mind.

Yeah, I was really glad that after the success of their Robert Johnson box Columbia Roots n Blues still did a reissue of the classic Vol.1 and Vol.2 "King Of The Delta Blues Singers" as I much prefer the way the track order plays on those - and its interesting to experience them the way the blues revival enthusiasts did in 1961.

now:



Joan Baez - Folksingers Round Harvard Square (1959)

[Old San Antone]

On May 22nd Steve Earle will drop a new CD.  Until then I am listening to his last recording, Guy - a tribute to one of his mentors, Guy Clarke.

Excellent!

Simon and Garfunkel: Wednesday Morning 3am





Not my favourite Simon and Garfunkel album.

[aligreto]

Young: Harvest





This one still holds up very well for me.

[George]

Sticking with DM:

For me, a desert island album. Stunning sound in its original CD mastering too.

[Papy Oli]

Make that 2 desert island discs for me.

I still remember hearing Neil Young for the first time in my local supermarket's record shop section in France (his unplugged album at the time - back in 92 ?) I had no knowledge of acoustic folk/country (or country rock) as genres at time (mostly listening to electric blues, some heavy metal and Depeche mode among others actually). Hearing Neil Young felt like i had found my new musical home, and i bought that unplugged album here and there. Collected many more of his, particularly love Harvest for "Old Man" and "Needle and damage done"...and the rest of it... I even had the LP framed in my living room for a long while...

Back in the early 1970s, Harvest was one of those compulsory albums that was standard fare for budding, young acoustic guitarists

Harvest is great, but for me, the desert island Neil album is After The Gold Rush.

Deathspell Omega- The Furnaces of Palingenesia

I'm not normally a big fan of the black metal genre, but this album that came out last year is definitely my favorite in the genre. 10/10

Sooooo much soul in this album, despite the genre not exactly being known for that. It's one of those elite albums for me where I can listen all the way through and just feel every note, not a dull second here.
