Ryan Adams Review / Louis Prima Preview (Album 19)

(Ryan Adams preview here) So yes, this was a heartbreak album. This album caught me off guard with how good it actually was. I'm not really sure what I was expecting, I guess more broody angst country music. But it wasn't that. It was actually mostly rock with acoustic...goodness. I like it, I'm not in the breakup mood though usually. Listening to people's songs who sing about breakups is usually pretty interpersonal. This album stays true with that belief.

Favorite Songs:
     To Be Young (Is To Be Sad, Is To Be High)
     Amy
     Bartering Lines

Album: The Wildest!

Artist: Louis Prima

Release Year: 1956

"A popular nightclub singer / trumpeter in the 1930s and '40s, initially in his native New Orleans and then in New York, Prima found work had dried up by 1954...[Later] success came immediately, this sparkling half-hour, cut live in the studio in April 1956, iced the cake. Jazz hounds often dismiss Prima as just an Italianate Louis Armstong impersonator...But that is to miss the point: this is simply irrepressible music that more than matches its glorious cover show." - Will Filford-Jones
