Julian Lennon, The Secret Value of Daydreaming, 1986 on Atlantic

This was Julian Lennon's sophomore album, following Valotte. Billy Joel joins on piano on "You Get What You Want." It was recorded at Compass Point in the Bahamas and produced by Phil Ramone (who also produced his debut). Was startled to see the twin towers on the inner sleeve so close to the 25th anniversary of 9/11 - not sure what that image has to do with the this album and thought for a moment someone had changed the inner liner. You can see other photos from the shoot on Timothy […]

Carole King, Tapestry, 1971 on Ode

Sophomore album from Carole King (her debut album was called Writer), this album is often cited on shortlists of the greatest albums of all time. It was produced by Lou Adler, and won four grammy awards in 1972. It's been certified 14x platinum. You can find a copy of Rumours in just about any record store, but they ought to have a bunch of copies of this too. My copy—via Music Heals in Palm Springs, CA—is a Monarch Pressing on the ODE labels without the 7 in front of their logo […]

John Prine, John Prine Live, 1988 on Oh Boy

Recorded live at the Coach House in San Juan Capistrano, except for the "Angel From Montgomery" with Bonnie Raitt, which was taken from the Steve Goodman tribute concert, and "Souvenirs" which comes from an Austin City Limits episode. It's mostly Prine and his guitar, telling stories and singing songs - a bit of a filler perhaps between studio albums but worth it as all his recordings are. My copy—direct from Oh Boy Records—is the 2020 reissue, which unfortunately is quite a noisy […]
