Welcome

This is a blog I made to share some of my favorite albums, and albums I think everyone should hear. The essential albums in my opinion, all genres, any time, any place. I hope some of you enjoy these records, and share them with others. If you like what you hear, please buy the album from the band. If you are in the band and you would rather people don't check out your music just let me know and I'll take it down.

The Earth just won't seem worth your night or your day...

Current musical obsession. Slept on this album for too long. This album sounds so ahead of it's time. Released in 1972, Pink Moon is Nick Drake's 3rd and final studio album. After the album he withdrew from performing and recording and moved to his parents home. He then died in 1974 from an overdose of antidepressants at the age of 26. The sound here is sad and somber yet beautiful. Lofi and acoustic. Reminiscent of the sound that artists like Elliott Smith, Jeff Buckley and Iron and Wine would popularize decades later. Great stuff. This is my morning train ride music. Highly recommended.
