Swervedriver - Raise (1991)

I see a lot of suggestions for me on Apple Music to check out Swervedriver when I listen to shoegazing music, and have heard a lot of people give them kind rema

Beachwood Sparks - Beachwood Sparks (2000)

It's about time I got to some music from the 2000s. I've only listened to one other album from the 2000s and that was King Tuff's album, Was Dead (2008), from y

King Tuff - Was Dead (2008)

I've never listened to nor had I ever heard of King Tuff until yesterday when I happened upon that album by The Third Sound. When I looked up the band on Wikipe

The Third Sound - The Third Sound (2011)

This band came across my Apple Music suggestions today, and right away I was excited to take a listen. This band is a solo project of Iceland musician Hakon Ada

Pokey LaFarge - Something In the Water (2015)

Pokey LaFarge really impressed me when I first listened to him and his most recent release, Rock Bottom Rhapsody (2020), with his barebones dust-bowl country/we

Fludd - From the Attic (1977)

This is another album that came into my recommended for you page on Apple Music. I'd never heard of Fludd prior to that, but I'm always down for some 70s rock a

Joe Diorio - Solo Guitar (1975)

I know next to nothing about this artist and record, but I've been really in the mood to listen to some jazz guitar. I watched a video from a YouTuber named Ric

Hawkwind - Warrior on the Edge of Time (1975/2013)

I always hear a lot about Hawkwind online, but I've been putting off listening to them for quite a while. I think this is in part due to my love for the Gratefu

Pentangle - The Pentangle (Bonus Track Edition) (1968/2001)

I recently learned of band Pentangle shortly after I learned about Bert Jansch, one of the acoustic guitarists and vocalists in the band. I also recently learne

Ripe - Joy in the Wild Unknown (2018)

A great new-age funky pseudo jam band that really knows how to groove, Ripe is another one of my favorite first listens this year that I totally forgot about un

Matt Minglewood - Minglewood Band (1979)

I don't quite recall how I came across this album. I think it was in a "suggestions for you" area on my Apple Music page, but the album artwork looked neat, and

Randy Newman - Good Old Boys (1974)

I honestly know very little about Randy Newman. The only exposure I've had to him is a parody of himself featured on an episode of Family Guy from 1999 about Y2

Nils Lofgren - Nils Lofgren (1975)

I've had an itch to listen to some more Nils Lofgren ever since I listened to his band, Grin's, 1971 self-titled album, Grin. It was such a great showcase of so

Manfred Mann's Earth Band - Solar Fire (1973)

In my opinion, Manfred Mann's Earth Band has one of the coolest sounds in rock and roll history. It can get heavy, it's smooth as all get-out, and the band does

Kris Kristofferson - The Silver Tongued Devil and I (1971)

Back on the 1971 train I've been on, I decided to check out some of Kris Kristofferson's music today. I've never listened to his solo stuff, but I've heard some

Gram Parsons - GP (1973)

Gram Parsons is another one of my favorite first listens of 2020. His album, Grievous Angel (1974) was such a treat to hear. Parsons is basically the godfather

Tim Buckley - Lorca (1970)

Sort of breaking from the streak of 1971 albums recently (though barely doing so by only a year), I wanted to listen to one of my favorite artists I first liste

Jaco Pastorius - Jaco Pastorius (Bonus Track Version) (1976/2000)

Jaco Pastorius is one of the greatest bass players in history, which he shows in his album "Jaco Pastorius (Bonus Track Version)". Starting with a standard, "Do

Dr. John - The Sun, Moon and Herbs (1971)

I didn't know about Dr. John until a couple of months ago, and immediately fell in love with his sound upon hearing it. It's more of that New Orleans sound that

Gong - Camembert Electrique (1971)

I'm on a roll with albums from 1971 lately, so I figured I'll keep it going with another one: Gong's 1971 album, Camembert Electrique. I know very little about
