Gregg Allman - Low Country Blues (2011)

flisten. Big thanks to Mattafett for posting this over at our Rounder Records thread. Smoldering covers of obscure blues songs that Gregg makes his own, aided by ace producer T-Bone Burnett. Listen with some Maker's Mark.

You are very welcome! I really like this one.

King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard - Murder Of The Universe (2017)

As far as I can tell, this is a parody of progressive rock. It's a little too earnest, in the way of jokes that go too far.

Cannonball Adderley - Somethin' Else _1958_

A quarter century ago, when I was just undertaking my Jazz excursion, this album came up repeatedly as a classic that should be in everyone's collection. I'll ignore for now that it was then and is often now mislabeled as a Miles Davis album -- this is an Adderley album with Miles as a sideman.

Somehow, I ended up with two copies of the CD. Thanks Columbia House! I listened and was left wondering "WTF is all the fuss?" It wouldn't be overstating things to say I almost hated it. Fast forward to now and I love this. I can't pinpoint exactly where in my personal Jazz excursion I realized how great this is, but it happened. Now, when I hear the opening notes of the opening track, it's like bumping into old dear friends while walking downtown. This is my favorite version of "Autumn Leaves".


EDIT: Oops, the star colons don't work on MG2.0

Beautiful album!

Listening to it again, it is a little derivative of classic Lee and Nancy recordings, but there are some enjoyable tracks here, nonetheless. I think the first is the best.
