1001 Album Complaints

Bonnie Raitt was at a low point in her career after being a road dog for decades and failing to breakthrough into mainstream success. With her reputation on the line she set her sights on a nostalgic record about middle age. The boyos discuss 80s synth overkill, selflessly helping old blues musicians, and burying your best tracks deep in the mix.

In our thrilling conclusion, we cover every track on Side 2 and chatter about the most popular Beatles song in the digital era, guitar solos played by bass players, and using every note in the western scale in a single, strange composition.

Next week's album: Living Colour - Vivid

The Beatles were chaffed from some seriously tense recording sessions whilst making the "white" album, and then again from the well-documented Get Back era, but, even still, after a break they decided to give it one more go together in the summer of 1969. We go through every song on this momentous album over the course of 2 episodes. This week while covering Side 1 the boys discuss Timothy Leary, the George Martin effect on George Harrison compositions, and the financial situation of Beatles Inc. at the time.
