Charity Brown – “Rock Me”

Charity Brown – “Rock Me”The Sleeve: The Liner/Sleeve Notes:  “Making records and performing have always been foremost in Charity’s life.

Lori Jacobs ‎– “Everything’s Jake!”The Sleeve: The Liner/Sleeve Notes: None. Personal Review:  After a pretty long hiatus, I’m finally back online. And to celebrate, here is another fine record for all y’all. This album opens with the track “I Don’t Even Time” and it seems to have a dancey pop sound to it, like bubblegum pop. Lori has a...

Jeff Kimball ‎– “The Jeff Kimball Show”The Sleeve: The Liner/Sleeve Notes: None. Personal Review:  So, initially my friend had given me this album because hey, it’s a guy with a big afro and equally big lapels. Then I heard it. Then I listened again, and again, and again.

Jeremy – “Loneliness is Such a Sad Affair”

Jeremy – “Loneliness is Such a Sad Affair”The Sleeve: The Gatefold: The Liner/Sleeve Notes: “When you first hear Jeremy sing, you’re not sure if your ears are being totally honest.

Barry Manilow – “This One’s For You”

Barry Manilow – “This One’s For You”The Sleeve: The Liner/Sleeve Notes: None. Personal Review: I’m just going to skip all introductions and hop right in. The album opens with the song “This One’s for You” – and well, it was an alright song, I’m starting to think you have to be in a Manilow type of mood? Next is “Daybreak” and... Read More »
