Joy of living, joy of playing.
Impossible to listen to it and remain sad.
An unmissable album.

Sparkling debut, it already has all the best of Al: killer offbeats, impossible to stay still, absolute rhythm, and an incredible voice, agile and flexible like no other. Great first show!

Al's most folk soul in a nostalgic and beautifully played album. Forget about "Year of the Cat," this is elegance and class without any commercial gimmicks.

New York serves as the nighttime backdrop to a dark and profound story, a bit Lou Reed and a bit Leonard Cohen.
For lovers of the Big Apple.

Fingers twisted around the guitar, as always, but with an enticing marimba added in. A spirit happier than usual thanks to a reciprocated love. A sunny and joyful album, unusual for the Canadian singer-songwriter. Some adore him, while others detest him; as for me, I’ll tell you this... number 1 forever, and this is the album I love the most.

    I adore him, and I recognize him as one of the greatest American songwriters alongside Mitchell, David Baerwald, Stephen Stills, Randy Newman, Billy Joel.

A magical record, an absolute voice that can be sensual and ethereal, of earth and fire, of sky and air. Supported by a host of top-notch collaborators (from Wayne Shorter to Trilok Gurtu).

"...and the man is: Frank Sinatra!" Here recorded at his peak alongside Count Basie's big band, with arrangements by Quincy Jones, as if to say the best of the best united with the best. Frank plays and jokes with the audience and shines in performing some classics, as a perfect entertainer, while the band, tight like no other, swings wonderfully. A simply unmissable record.

AOR of great class. Still the best work of the Wilson sisters.
"Crazy on you" still gets me going like it used to.

Pop, Reggae, Rock, Folk, Soul in perfect balance with a flawless voice supported by Danni Federici and Clarence Clemons (and excuse me if that's not enough).
He has never sold that much, yet he has a legion of imitators.

If you love Pentangle, you will also love the Yacoub brothers.
Sophisticated arrangements with period and electric instruments fused in harmony and refined vocal harmonies. They studied with Alan Stivell, and you can tell, but they are also very original.
Delightful the 5/4 ronde "Voici là Saint-Jean."

You who only know "Aldebaran" or "Quella carezza della sera" by the New Trolls, you who know nothing of the epic of Italian prog, I look at you and I weep.

It's only Rock 'n Roll, but I like it!
One of the most powerful live albums in my collection. Setting aside the intellectualism of the previous decade (which had indeed given us some wonderful gems), the Kinks lay it all on the line and gift their fans a high-energy live performance.

A melting pot of gospel, blues, and soul mixed with the Caribbean sun that will raise eyebrows among reggae purists, but it's played divine.
An album I can never stop listening to. Steady in my personal top ten for twenty years.

For once, the album should be credited to the Heartbreakers & Tom Petty. A perfect Rock'n'Roll machine for four hours of pure musical fun. An essential soundtrack for long highway rides.

The day when the prog imploded, collapsing in on itself.
Wonderful pearls in oceans of musical garbage, brilliant ideas ruined by a gigantic arrogance.
A genius and irritating record. Perhaps irritation prevails in me, but the vocal intro of "The revealing science of God" is anthological.

    I stopped at Close to the Edge, which, although excellent, is starting to show early signs of sclerosis compared to its predecessors; I don't know if I will listen to the "after."

    You’re doing well, but… what can I say, I might be sentimental, but those first three minutes almost justify everything else for me…
