Better this or their debut from the year before? I don't know, both excellent, great hard rock without too many frills, simple but effective. Their last great album, at least for me...

    Don't hit me, they are valid but for me they remain in "Second tier".

The only work by the trio Clempson, Poole, and Baker, a great demonstration of blues/jazz with a touch of progressive. A power trio dedicated to improvisation, showcasing excellent instrumental technique. The last track, "Son of Moonshine," deserves special mention, featuring nearly fifteen minutes of blues with excellent jazz influences…

Year 1965, war in Vietnam, Cold War, tensions in the Middle East, fear of an impending world conflict. Sloan creates one of the toughest and most famous folk protest songs of all time, a generational anthem brought to fame by Oklahoma City singer Barry McGuire. Aside from the title track, a timeless masterpiece, the album is solid, featuring some Dylan covers and an excellent version of the traditional "Sloop John B," popularized the following year by the Beach Boys.

A beautiful collaboration between Harper and the Blind Boys of Alabama from a few years ago, excellent tracks blending blues, gospel, and folk that I have always loved...

    Beautiful, heartfelt collaboration; I saw the Blind Boys years ago at the Assago Forum. They made an excellent introduction to Peter Gabriel's concert.

I know very well his work with Pentangle, but I’m less familiar with his long solo career. This first album showcases a great instrumental and compositional technique, truly an excellent record. Now I understand where Kaukonen's guitar on the first Hot Tuna record comes from...

    Well, not to mention Nick Drake and John Martyn... But why did he put "Jack Orion" in there too?

    Hi, I don't know why, probably the person who wrote the review had the reprints of both records, but the text only concerns the debut. I got the 50th anniversary edition yesterday, this record is very beautiful... I mentioned Kaukonen because his voice and style remind me a lot of the first Hot Tuna, and then from this work, surely everyone has taken a bit, as you rightly said...

    Well, this is one of the albums that gave rise to British singer-songwriter music, the "baroque folk," call it what you will. And then stuff like "Jack Orion" sparked the British folk revival, etc. Fundamental is an understatement. An immense songwriter. Just tell me what "Needle of Death" is, beyond the lyrics, just the melody...

    Really great. I don't understand why they compare him to Donovan; it doesn't connect at all, not even with Dylan... Donovan was much more melodic, pop, and technically much less skilled, though I still love him. Needle is one of the best, but the level of these songs is incredibly high, no fillers, no missteps. Well done, give it another listen; I've moved on to the Jeffersons with the live God Bless..., it got Kaukonen stuck in my head and I'm dusting him off from the cobwebs of my collection...

    Because, like it or not, it's always about British folk; however, Donovan is one thing, Jansch and Renbourn are a whole different school, like Davy Graham.

Debut in '71 for this Southern band led by the charismatic Jim "Dandy" Mangrum. The album is still a bit raw and rough around the edges, but it already contains a great classic of the band, "Hot And Nasty." A band that has always remained in the shadow of the more famous (and talented) Allman and Skynyrd, yet managed in '74 to be one of the highlights of the California Jam, one of the most important rock concerts of the decade.

They may not be the best representatives of Southern rock from the '70s, but this is a great album, their best. "Highway Song" is their "Free Bird," rightly placed as the final track to showcase an excellent Southern rock album.

A "gem" of the English psychedelic scene of the '60s, a refined, imaginative pop, where "Look At Me, I'm You" stands out, perhaps the best track on the album...

After the famous motorcycle accident, Dylan returns to the scene with an album different from the previous ones, acoustic, stripped down, more oriented towards country sounds. A more than good album, featuring exceptional tracks like ''All Along The Watchtower'' and ''Dear Landlord''.

1974 album by the American singer-songwriter, just for the presence of "Forever Young" and the music of the Band, it's worth listening to it.

The "basement songs," a masterpiece by Dylan and the Band for sure. The best things always come from fun and "messing around," and this album is the absolute testimony to that...

This afternoon, while I'm at home relaxing, I’m dedicating myself to listening to this old record from '71. 1971? 2171? I wouldn't be able to clearly define the year it belongs to...

In my opinion, the best album of Springsteen in the '70s, with excellent songs blending funk, rock, folk, soul, and great songwriting ability. It ranges from the sweetness of tracks like "New York City Serenade" and "4th of July (Asbury Park)" to the energy of "Rosalita" and "Kitty's Back," to the melancholy of "Wild Billy's Circus Story." Great musicians, especially Federici and Clemons...

    disk to be sent to memory, after the Boss will write extraordinary songs and certainly more memorable so that Jon Landau could be right about the fact that "he had seen the future of rock'n'roll," but the streetwise syncretism of "popular" styles of The Wild... will never be seen again.

    Yes, one of the many great records by Springsteen in his first decade of activity, definitely a strong contender for the title of his best album.

    In my opinion, until "The River," they are all good. For my taste, Greetings... stands out for its compositional quality, Blinded by the Light, For You, Spirit in the Night, Growin' Up, are among his most beautiful songs. But if you prefer this, nothing to say, everyone has their own tastes.
