For The Sake Of The Rhyme

For The Sake Of The Rhyme
Madison Cunningham
2018

Example:

I really enjoyed the blues and strong voice. And it seems that they have something to say.

It was only 25 minutes, so I moved on to the second 2018 release - much more in the acoustic side.

Human The Double Album

Human The Double Album
Cody Johnson
2021

https://album.link/i/1582024378

Example:

I didn't have any expectations going into this one. Just listening to a pile of country albums off my list (most not worthy). And this stuck out for me. Nice dynamics and storytelling. With combinations of blues and other influences. And throw in a Willie Nelson duet, and I was good to go. Very satisfying for what I wanted.

Rendez-Vous

Rendez-Vous
Jean-Michel Jarre
1986

https://album.link/i/1027735025

Example:

Everything's fine?

Everything is fine.

It doesn't sound like it is fine Jean-Michel. 

It's fine.

Okay...    {doesn't sound fine}

 

It has been a long time since I have listened to this (decades). Spending most of my time listening to Zoolook over the years with it's audiophile goodness. Rendez-Vous has a much more ominous soundtrack feel to it.

Well...let's look at "Souvenir" (from his The Concerts in China album) -- his ground-breaking trip to China from all accounts was full of joy and positive memories...so why does "Souvenir" sound so sad? 

Answer:  because he's French.  It doesn't sound sad, it sounds French.  I have this from my History Of Music professor.

Back to Rendez-Vous -- this album was also the one with the ill-fated saxophonist Ron McNair who was supposed to record his part from space...on the space shuttle, Challenger.  I think that might've flavoured the overall tone of the album.

I don't listen to a lot of newer Country, but in the same vein I can highly recommend Jamey Johnson. Especially these albums...
