The Vinyl Countdown # 1601
Pat Metheny, New Chautauqua (1979) It took me a while to really get Pat Metheny. I mean, you get that the dude can fuckin play! You get that as soon as you hear him. And every time you hear him. But it’s whether you want to hear that kind of playing. I guess I was [...]Archive

Joni Mitchell, For The Roses (1972) It’s easy to forget about For The Roses, what with Blue just before it and Court And Spark arriving shortly after.
