Please see my introduction and explanation about this project here. This might be my 2nd favorite Beatles album. The band had already stretched the concept of what a rock and roll album could be and what was possible in the studio, so what to do next? While there are a couple of weaker numbers on…
Please see my introduction and explanation about this project here. The Beatles, or The White Album, was the only double record the band released during their career. Past Masters is a compilation that was released well after the band broke up. Not only does this album fall into many of the typical trappings of a…
Please see my introduction and explanation about this project here. For this entry I am not using the officially released soundtrack as in the box sets, but instead the Yellow Submarine Songtrack. Because I can. With Help! and Hard Day’s Night being full albums and not the soundtrack albums that Yellow Submarine was, I figured…
Please see my introduction and explanation about this project here. At times I absolutely love Abbey Road as one of my favorite Beatles albums, and other times I simply can’t listen to it. Interestingly, Abbey Road was recorded after the sessions for Let It Be, but released ahead of what would be the film’s soundtrack. While…
Please see my introduction and explanation about this project here. Beatles Week 2016 continues with what is probably my least favorite album in the Beatles catalog – Let it Be. It’s not that the songs are bad, it’s that I just don’t enjoy this record as much as any of the others. And that includes the…

It is time for Beatles Week, an annual tradition that I can not take credit for, but look forward to every year. Started by Mark Zwolanek (on a website I can no longer find) in 2008 I have done it every year since. Nobody else does this exercise as far as I know. This week…
I grew up with Johnny Cash. There was the television variety show he had which was broadcast when I was very young. Then there were the early hits that continued to get airplay (and still do). “Folsom Prison Blues” While I’m not generally a fan of country music as a genre, Johnny Cash is one…
An open letter to Rolling Stone magazine. I am in possession of your most recent issue, #1276/1277 dated December 15-29, 2016 with President Obama on the cover. And I am disappointed. No, I am not upset that pages were devoted to an interview with our outgoing Commander in Chief. Although, 8 times on the cover…
I know it’s been a few weeks. If you notice I haven’t had many updates lately. Hoping to get things turned around here. Let’s start off with a look back. When I arrived to pick the kids up from school a while ago they were all in an assembly, so I was going to snap…
