Louvin Brothers Review / Miles Davis Preview (Album 15)

(Louvin preview here) Country Music. I don't know, I suppose that they tell you to listen to this album because it must be the first country album...But I don't think that is true. There has got to be country music from before this. Either way, I just can't find myself ever ever ever listening to this. It's not that its bad necessarily, it just doesn't do anything for me. Ever. I've tried. I listened to the whole thing. Some of the songs were fun for sure. This is country music at it's finest, the two voices are so...country. There is no other way to say it.

Favorite Songs:
     Let Her Go, God Bless Her

Back to my favorite decade.

Album: Bitches Brew
Artist: Miles Davis
Miles Davis - Bitches Brew

Release Year: 1970

"Recording sessions for Bitches Brew began at 8 a.m. on August 18, 1969, a few hours after Jimi Hendrix had demolished "The Star Spangled Banner" at Woodstock, and it is Hendrix's incendiary voice that haunts this double album...Bitches Brew sold half a million copies within a year and made Miles "relevant" in a way that he had not been in more than a decade. He had reclaimed his crown as the king of jazz, something he retained until his death 20 years later."

01 - Pharoh's Dance
02 - Bitches Brew
03 - Spanish Key
04 - John McLaughlin
05 - Miles Runs The Voodoo Down
06 - Sanctuary

Streaming: Radio3.net
iTunes: Bitches Brew
Spotify: Bitches Brew

A free form improv jazz session from one of the greatest in the game. Should be exciting. Also a bad-ass name for an album.
