Here we will remind you of old albums that may have been lost in the clutter or just tend to slip your mind on a regular basis. So take these records down from the shelf, blow the dust off of them, turn the stereo up, and push play.
James Taylor
Sweet Baby James (1970)
This is Taylor's second album and easily his most revered. More than a few of these songs went on to make up about the first half of his Greatest Hits album. Here, Taylor is still a young troubadour, not yet chiseled by wisdom, as he tells tales of love, loss, and lessons from the road.
Rediscover these songs: "Sweet Baby James", "Fire and Rain", "Steamroller Blues", "Country Road", "O' Susanna", and "Anywhere Like Heaven"
Golden Smog
Weird Tales (1998)
Golden Smog is one of those bands that was so good they could never possibly get the credit they deserved, so they got no credit. This Minneapolis/Alt. Country Super Group featured members of Soul Asylum, The Jayhawks, The Replacements, and Wilco. This album oozes country-rock at it's finest, where the country influence dominates and the rock influence can onlybe found in some intangible whisper between the notes.
Songs to rediscover: "To Call My Own", "Until You Came Along", "I Can't Keep From Talking", "Reflections on Me", "Please Tell My Brother", and "Fear of Falling"
