Jo Ann Kelly - Blues and Gospel

Britain's answer to Janis Joplin. A pretty amazing singer for a little white girl, and she played a mean guitar. Since she preferred Mississippi-style acoustic blues, she didn't generate the mass appeal of singers who backed themselves with electric bands of the time.

I'll have to check this out.
 
Kenny Garrett - Black Hope (1996)

After listening to Mode For Joe yesterday, I picked this off the shelf last night. As I put it in this morning, what did I (re)discover but that Joe Henderson was a guest sideman on this album for a couple of tracks. FTW!
 
The Harder They Come (Soundtrack - various artists) - (1972)

This week have been listening to a number of albums from 1973 (a pretty damn good year IMO), and turned to this one today after seeing it listed as one of the important albums of 1973. Forgot until I posted that it was actually released 1972 - undaunted I'm listening anyway. Clearly it was on the list because it gained steam in '73. Plus it's a comp anyway of songs from even way back in 1967. Plus, I just wanna listen to it :)

Addendum: man, I just love "Many Rivers to Cross" by Jimmy Cliff - so tremendous and he belts it out. Haven't seen Jimmy on the Acclaimed Music list yet but he's gotta have some numbers to come
