#40 The Cowboy Junkies - The Trinity Session


Latent Recordings, 1988
Folk Rock 

This album always makes me think of Cara. We used to listed to it together fairly often when we lived together on Roger's Drive. Even though I knew the band was good, and had picked this album up somewhere, it was Cara's love for the band that made me realize what a great album this is. Thanks, gal! One of the many wonderful gifts of our friendship ❤

#73 Tyrannosaurus Rex - Unicorn

Blue Thumb Records, 1969 Psychedelic Acoustic Folk This album is very important to me. Those who know me, know I am fond of T Rex, but this pre T recording is extra special.

Atlantic, 1973 Jazz, Bop I wish I could remember how I came by this one. I was absolutely delighted to find it in my collection, if a little unsettled that I could forget such an acquisition.  This is a solid offering, if a little frenetic. I have to be in the right mood, but then I am enthralled.

#82 Herman's Hermits - On Tour

MGM, 1965 60s Pop Rock Every now and then when I have a guest over, I pull out Herman's Hermits. It's a safe pull---a classic band that's fun and easy.  I always enjoy spinning this record, and "For Your Love" is a friccing amazing track. I don't have much to say, really, but it's staying in the collection.
