The Outlaws - Green Grass and High Tides

RIP Bill. 🙏

Carlos Santana John McLaughlin - Love Devotion Surrender

After the intensity of Hughie Thomasson and Billy Jones, went for an even more intense pair.

Inca Gold

Hall & Oates - Disc 3 of my favorites. This one spans 1985 to 2004.

A mixed disc of my favorites from a couple of Australian groups - Jo Jo Zep & the Falcons and Men at Work

Both bands on the more upbeat side. JJZ never really made it here in America but MAT certainly had some success.

Took a trip using The Way Back Machine.

A couple of mix discs featuring music from the '50s and '60s.

Didn’t go as far back this time.

Off their newest release.

Rolling Stones night:

It's Only Rock 'n Roll - Mick Taylor's last album as the featured lead guitarist

Black and Blue - the audition album - was really hoping that Harvey Mandel would win the job

Some Girls - Ronnie Wood's first studio album as a member of the Stones.

76F / 76% RH / 17 mph winds with gusts up to 35

Linda Ronstadt night

Don’t Cry Now - this is a helluva album but greatly underappreciated. In her prime she was the best female rock / country-rock vocalist, hands down. And man, was she easy on the eyes. Every poor boy’s dream.

Heart Like a Wheel - the start of her commercial success. I hate to use the term “breakout” since I was a fan of hers since her Stone Poneys days but she truly hit the big time with this release.
