Bob Marley And The Wailers -- Uprising

  Bob Marley is one of those rare artists that no matter how big he had gotten he never conprimised who he was or the music he was making, staying true to himself up until this final, ironically titled, album -- Uprising!

Ry Cooder -- Into The Purple Valley

  This album is a interesting pastiche of James Taylor dad rock vocals, Randy Newman-esque goofball lyrics and Taj Mahal styled guitar country-blues noodlings.

Townes Van Zandt -- For The Sake Of The Song

  Man I wonder if this over produced attempt at Spectorizing Townes Van Zandt would sound as bad if his other albums didn't exsist?  Because compared to everything else it is still quite very good, and does contain many would be rerecorded classics, other than the completely banal Talkin' Karate Blues. 

Fear -- The Record (2012)

  What a rip off, cash grabbing piece of shit!  Why would a band rerecord their classic debut album and make it exactly look like the original ... I'll tell you why, to sucker you into buying this garbage under false pretences, probably so they can avoid getting jobs for a bit longer.  The only redeeming factor is that this is a total Lee Ving, douche bag, f-off to his fans, maneuver and the worst part is I'm going to resell this turd to a unsuspecting record store as soon as possible ... so watch out!
