How many bands released five great records in two years?

This is just asking for a snarky response (I don't like any of The Beatles albums), but I shall leave it be. Instead, I'll work on getting my knees flippy-floppy!

Holy shit is this incredible!



Sounds very rootish mixed with the delta blues and sorrow songs.

Amazing.

Unlike anything I've heard before - smooth, jazzy-synthy, luscious.

Taylor Brothers' It's a Good, Good Way (southern gospel):

Joachim Kühn, Paris is Wonderful
Gnarly 1970 Euro free jazz, Youtube here.
I sometimes enjoy this kind of music, but it's definitely polarizing (at best? ).

Gotta love the archivists: The Campbell Duet's How Far is Heaven ("hillbilly gospel")



"This is the second album of the most requested hymns of The Campbell Duet.
We have been singing for the past ten years, and during that time God has blessed us so
graciously, and has called Jim into the ministry. He is now an ordained minister of the
Missionary Baptist Church.

We would like to introduce our twelve year old daughter, Nancy, as she helps to sing the
title song, How Far Is Heaven. Nancy has been singing since she was five years old.
May God bless you as you listen to this album."

"The Duck Creek Quartet hail from Sneedville, Tennessee. They began their singing career almost thirty years ago and have become widely known in these parts through their humble, soul-stirring singing. They are all active in church work. In the past fifteen years, they have averaged singing for one funeral each week. Wherever God's work needs to be done you will find the Duck Creek Quartet readily available ."

Romanian Hardcore Punk: Critica Radicala's So Mai Cares (split w/ Czolgosz) - Quite melodic.



"Critica Radicala was an important political punk band born out of the ashes of Terror Art when they were beginning to fall apart. The beginnings were when George and Dan were in the punk band Terror Art (as founding members) and things were going from bad to worse. Since then the two friends were talking about a separate project that would send a more direct and authentic message. At the same time Ely, another member of the punk movement, wanted to form another band. Ely found support in George (ex Terror Art guitarist) who, having left Terror Art, started a new project in 2002 with a former member of another punk-rock band called Foarfeka, Alex, in which George played guitar and vocals and Alex did bass and processing. Initially, in the spring of 2002, Ely formed V33, which did not include George's project with Alex, but included current Radical Criticism drummer Edi, who had previously played in the hardcore-punk band Proteum. Then George joined Ely's band as bassist and soon the two bands (V33 and George's project with Alex) would become one: Radical Criticism. After V33's vocalist Vali left the new band, the project George and Alex had set up years ago was completed with the arrival of Dan (former Terror Art vocalist) as vocalist in the new band."
