Isaac Hayes, Black Moses, 1971; and

Portishead, Dummy, 1994.

Because I learned today that Ike’s Rap II is sampled into Glory Box. So listening to both albums in order to drill this important fact in my poor brain.

Many thanks to my good friend @Naumoski for teaching me one more thing.

Arlo Guthrie - Alice’s Restaurant - early ‘80s vinyl
Side 1 filled with the 18 minute talking blues title track, the funniest anti-Vietnam war song ever recorded. Side 2 more conventional folk rock songs, well played and sung, including a couple of beautiful ballads.

More happy, catchy pop music from rock’s Golden Couple. I’ll spare you the full cover. Another 1997 Ryko CD with bonus tracks.
