Saturday Spins: John Prine’s Common Sense
It’s unfortunate that we lost John Prine this year. He is up there on my singer-songwriter Mt. Rushmore with Dylan, Petty, et. al.
Saturday Spins: Leon Bridges Good Thing
Leon Bridges occupies a space or two because I dig his particular brand of soul. It’s not too poppy, and it isn’t too experimental to seem like it’s a parody.
Saturday Spins: Dwight Yoakam’s Guitars, Cadillacs, Etc., Etc.
This was my Dwight Yoakam gateway drug…I like guitars, Cadillacs, and depending on what one considers “hillbilly music,” I like that too.
Saturday Spins: Rage Against The Machine’s The Battle of Los Angeles
This week the randomizer was in a bit of a mood and spat out an excellent record from my youth: RATM’s The Battle of Los Angeles
Saturday Spins: Dawes North Hills
Have you ever had the opener actually being better than the main act? While Dawes was performing, we knew they were something special then.
Saturday Spins: The Beatles Rubber Soul
I know I placed the “underrated” moniker on this album, but that is through the lens of a casual fan of the Beatles, not a fanatic.
Saturday Spins: Steve Earle’s Ghosts of West Virginia
Earle’s goal on this album was to cut through a lot of that and attempt to understand, not condescend to, the dualities that exists in one state in particular, West Virginia.
Saturday Spins: Led Zeppelin III
Led Zeppelin III turned 50 years old on Monday. However, many of the songs contained herein are timeless classics.
Saturday Spins: Dan Auerbach
An mix of rock, Americana, & 70’s style soul/psychedelic rock, from start to finish Dan Auerbach’s Waiting on a Song is truly a masterpiece.

Sunday Spins: The Texas Gentlemen
Do you like Little Feat? The Band? Early Sir Elton John? Then you will for sure like this little band from Texas
Saturday Spins: Bob Dylan’s Rough and Rowdy Ways
With this release Bob Dylan became the first artist to chart in the Top 40 in seven consecutive decades
Saturday Spins: Pantera
A lot of thrash metal just rock the f*&$ out, but a band like Pantera contains a bit more refined artistry than one would expect
Saturday Spins: Ryan Bingham
There are till people that listen to mainstream country music when Ryan Bingham exists, and that is a problem that I am trying to personally remedy.
Saturday Spins: Warren Zevon
Have you ever put on an album and it absolutely blew your mind? That is a basically what happened to me when I first heard this week’s Saturday Spin. Last week, I discussed Ryan...
Saturday Spins: Ryan Adams
Let’s talk a little bit about Ryan Adams’s Gold and why it is a landmark record.
Saturday Spins: Operation Ivy
Operation Ivy was only a band for 2 years, 1987-1989, and as I have often said before, burned bright, but flared out quickly.
Saturday Spins: James Gang and Joe Walsh
Before he was the yin to Don Felder’s yang in The Eagles, Joe Walsh was a member of an extremely underrated trio, James Gang.
Saturday Spins: The Clash
I am going to, and this will be somewhat controversial, proclaim that Combat Rock is second only to London Calling in the definitive ranking of albums by the Clash.
