Headphone Commute
I've been writing about instrumental, experimental, and electronic music for over a decade. In 2017 I decided to chronologically go through the "1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die" list, taking individual notes on each one, whether I liked it or not. So besides my regular recommendations of the modern marvels, you may see a few cringe words on some albums that I wish I'd never heard. Follow the journey along!

Headphone Commute's Album Reviews
Live music from the 60s has a very special place in my heart. There is just something in those recordings from beginning to the end. Hearing the audience whistle, cheer and shriek, capturing the overall vibe of the venue and the performance really puts me into the entire setting with just a little bit of imagination. It's difficult to even sit here and type these words without moving. Blues Boy King (that's where B.B. came from) is indeed "The King of the Blues" on this one, singing and playing his black electric Gibson guitar (named Lucille) in this ultimate performance of American blues recorded in November 1964 at the Regal Theater in Chicago, Illinois. His preaching over the congregation of blues becomes nearly an evangelist movement. A de facto standard in the history of live blues performances and albums.
