Nico -- Chelsea Girl

  With the help of many rock luminaries like, Lou Reed, Bob Dylan, Jackson Browne, just to name a few, Nico, the ultimate chanteuse femme fatale made her chamber style baroque folk debut album, which to me is her best and most accessible, compared to her usual existential death records.

Tom Waits -- The Heart Of Saturday Night

  The Heart Of Saturday Night is like a beat poet meets Frank Sinatra mixed with Bruce Springsteen, this album marks where Waits starts to find his persona.

The Beach Boys -- Holland

  Holland is a strangely brilliant Beach Boys version of 1970's Laurel canyonesque Americana.
