Album 4 the Day

Singer Songwriter John Denver brings his country style to this album full of wit and charm. He sings songs about the country lifestyle, family, and the land we live in. We discuss his lyrics, his band, and how this album reflects on his career.

Throwing copper was one of the most played albums of 1994 and 1995. Philosophical lyrics and intriguing themes fill this album that was vastly different from most popular albums of the time. The band Live is kind of an underdog story because of how the record company / MTV treated them and somehow they still managed to put this album together.

After nearly being released by Columbia Records, Billy Joel comes out with this monster album that shut them up pretty quick. 9 tracks. 5 singles. Remarkable lyrics, with music you can't help but groove to. Classic.

In this episode we discuss the classic R&B album What's Going On by the legendary performer/singer/songwriter/musician Marvin Gaye. This is one of the greatest albums of all time. It's lyrics and music protesting war and environmental hardships still ring true today.

Murmur is the classic first album from one of the most influential bands of the 80's and 90's R.E.M. It opened up the entire world to indie music with its strumming jangling guitar riffs and its hauntingly brilliant lyrics.

One of the under-rated albums of one of the greatest song writers of all time- Mr. Bob Dylan. His 23rd album, Empire Burlesque, comes straight from the 80's in its sound and recording techniques.

Welcome to the Folk, Blues, Jazz album experience by the one and only legend of Northern Ireland - Van Morrison. Astral Weeks is his second album and one of his most praised by critics and fans alike.

In this episode, we discuss the First release from the neo-soul band Fitz and the Tantrums - Pickin Up the Pieces. This album brings the energy, the passion, and the heartbreak. Absolutely killer album!
