Eric Clapton - 461 Ocean Boulevard | #18
Polyphonic Press - July 20, 2022 12:00 - 23 minutes ★★★★★ - 1 rating"461 Ocean Boulevard is Eric Clapton's second studio solo album, arriving after his side project of Derek and the Dominos and a long struggle with heroin addiction. Although there are some new reggae influences, the album doesn't sound all that different from the rock, pop, blues, country, and R&...

Jackson Browne - Late For The Sky | #017
Polyphonic Press - April 12, 2022 12:00 - 35 minutes ★★★★★ - 1 rating"On his third album, Jackson Browne returned to the themes of his debut record (love, loss, identity, apocalypse) and, amazingly, delved even deeper into them. "For a Dancer," a meditation on death like the first album's "Song for Adam," is a more eloquent eulogy; "Farther On" extends the "moving...

Lynyrd Skynyrd - (Pronounced 'Lĕh-'nérd 'Skin-'nérd) | #016
Polyphonic Press - April 05, 2022 12:00 - 54 minutes ★★★★★ - 1 rating"The Allman Brothers came first, but Lynyrd Skynyrd epitomized Southern rock. The Allmans were exceptionally gifted musicians, as much bluesmen as rockers. Skynyrd was nothing but rockers, and they were Southern rockers to the bone. This didn't just mean that they were rednecks, but that they bro...
Dr. John - Dr. John's Gumbo | #015
Polyphonic Press - March 29, 2022 12:00 - 47 minutes ★★★★★ - 1 rating"Dr. John's Gumbo bridged the gap between post-hippie rock and early rock & roll, blues, and R&B, offering a selection of classic New Orleans R&B, including "Tipitina" and "Junko Partner," updated with a gritty, funky beat. There aren't as many psychedelic flourishes as there were on his first tw...
The Band - The Band | #014
Polyphonic Press - March 22, 2022 12:00 - 1 hour ★★★★★ - 1 rating"The Band's first album, Music from Big Pink, seemed to come out of nowhere, with its ramshackle musical blend and songs of rural tragedy. The Band, the group's second album, was a more deliberate and even more accomplished effort, partially because the players had become a more cohesive unit, an...
Richard & Linda Thompson - I Want To See The Bright Lights Tonight | #013
Polyphonic Press - March 15, 2022 12:00 - 54 minutes ★★★★★ - 1 rating"In 1974, Richard Thompson and the former Linda Peters released their first album together, and I Want to See the Bright Lights Tonight was nothing short of a masterpiece, the starkly beautiful refinement of the promise of Thompson's solo debut, Henry the Human Fly. In Linda Thompson, Richard fou...
The Lemonheads - It's A Shame About Ray | #012
Polyphonic Press - March 08, 2022 13:00 - 1 hour ★★★★★ - 1 rating"If Lovey captured Evan Dando as he found his signature blend of punk-pop, jangle pop, and folk-rock, It's a Shame About Ray is where he perfected that style. Breezing by in under half an hour, the album is a simple collection of sunny melodies and hooks, delivered with typical nonchalance by Dan...
Fiona Apple - Tidal | #011
Polyphonic Press - March 01, 2022 13:00 - 1 hour ★★★★★ - 1 rating"Fiona Apple demonstrates considerable talent on her debut album, Tidal, but it is unformed, unfocused talent. Her voice is surprisingly rich and supple for a teenager, and her jazzy, sophisticated piano playing also belies her age. Given the right material, such talents could have flourished, bu...
Ramones - Ramones | #010
Polyphonic Press - February 22, 2022 13:00 - 1 hour ★★★★★ - 1 ratingIn this episode we review Ramones' self-titled debut album. The album contains the classics Blitzkrieg Bop, 53rd & 3rd, and Judy Is A Punk. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
Alice Cooper - Love It To Death | #009
Polyphonic Press - January 11, 2022 13:00 - 52 minutes ★★★★★ - 1 rating"Alice Cooper's third album, Love It to Death, can be pinpointed as the release when everything began to come together for the band. Their first couple of albums (Pretties for You and Easy Action) were both largely psychedelic/acid rock affairs and bore little comparison to the band's eventual ri...
The Go-Go's - Beauty & The Beat | #008
Polyphonic Press - January 04, 2022 13:00 - 1 hour ★★★★★ - 1 rating"It’s not quite right to say that the Go-Go’s' 1981 debut, Beauty and the Beat, is where new wave caught hold in the U.S., but it’s not quite wrong, either. Prior to this, there had certainly been new wave hits -- Blondie had been reaching the Top Ten for two years running -- but the Go-Go’s ushe...

Arcade Fire - Funeral | #007
Polyphonic Press - November 02, 2021 12:20 - 1 hour ★★★★★ - 1 rating"Fronted by the husband-and-wife team of Win Butler and Régine Chassagne, the Arcade Fire's emotional debut -- rendered even more poignant by the dedications to recently departed family members contained in its liner notes -- is brave, empowering, and dusted with something that many of the indie ...

Dave Brubeck Quartet - Time Out | #006
Polyphonic Press - October 07, 2021 12:00 - 46 minutes ★★★★★ - 1 rating"Dave Brubeck's defining masterpiece, Time Out is one of the most rhythmically innovative albums in jazz history, the first to consciously explore time signatures outside of the standard 4/4 beat or 3/4 waltz time. It was a risky move -- Brubeck's record company wasn't keen on releasing such an a...

T. Rex - Electric Warrior | #005
Polyphonic Press - September 29, 2021 02:00 - 54 minutes ★★★★★ - 1 rating"The album that essentially kick-started the U.K. glam rock craze, Electric Warrior completes T. Rex's transformation from hippie folk-rockers into flamboyant avatars of trashy rock & roll. There are a few vestiges of those early days remaining in the acoustic-driven ballads, but Electric Warrior...
