First off the most obvious,
Frank
This obviously has been getting more rotation than usual this week in particular. Her voice and music is just amazing. "Frank" is my personal favorite over "Back to Black", as the "jazziness" and hip hop elements are more prevalent and I like the sound more, as opposed to the more quirky 60's feel of B2B.
Notable Tacks
- "Stronger Than Me"
- "Take the Box"
- "In My Bed"
Moving on,
Janis Joplin
Janis may be lost upon many people of my generation, but ya parents and old heads know exactly who she is. She is widely regarded as the "Queen of Rock and Roll" and considered a legend. She's also unfortunately part of the infamous "27 Club" with Amy Winehouse, Jimi Hendrix, Kurt Colbain, etc. Her voice is a hate-it-or-love-it kind of voice, as it's very raspy at times and country as well. I was very recently turned on to her music after some lonely Wikipedia browsing and checked her out...so far the tracks most memorable are:
- "Summertime"(My favorite)
- "Piece of My Heart"
- "Me and Bobby McGee"
Always in rotation,
House of Balloons
Ok my nigga Eazy already did a post on this mixtape, so I'm not gonna Re-post the same shit. This is still Mixtape of the Year in my opinion and if you disagree, well, you disagree.
My personal favorite tracks are:
- "Wicked Games"
- "What You Need"
- "Glass Table Girls"
-Brey
