Ringo Starr ‘Postcards From Paradise’ Album Review

This album could have been made anytime during the past thirty years, but even so the musical pleasures within are considerable.

Laura Marling’s third album was an extraordinary achievement for an artist of any age; it’s a work of aching purity and glorious melodies.

Imitated but never equaled, influential beyond comparison, Cooke was the model for Otis Redding, Brook Benton, Marvin Gaye and countless others.

The songs are deep, philosophical and yet retain Crowell’s mordant wit, backed by Emmylou’s ethereal vocals.

Samantha Crain’s fourth album is a finely wrought affair, suffused with poetic lyrics and gorgeous singing.

It was January of 1967 when the Beatles conducted a 34-hour marathon that resulted in one of the most influential songs in rock history.
