Album Playthrough Project July

It was a great month of music listening in July!  Not only did I listen to a whole bunch of albums, but I am really excited about the variety of music I was able to consume.  July was a good example of what I envisioned when I started this project because I wanted to experience a variety of artists' albums in their entirety.  Here are the albums I was able to listen to in July:

Morrison Hotel (1970) The Doors 7/29/24
The World's Most Dangerous Party (2010) Paul Shaffer 7/29/24

Best Memories: Are You Experienced, Jimi Hendrix -
I did a deep dive into discovering Jimi when I was in college. This brought back stories and thoughts of friends I hadn't thought about in a very long time.

Biggest Surprise: City Music, Chris Morby -
Big, honest music in this album. Morby is quickly becoming a favorite artist.

Biggest Disappointment: The World's Most Dangerous Party, Paul Shaffer
Um...I have no idea what to say. This wasn't the Paul that I knew as musical host of David Letterman.

Perfect Moment to Listen: Good Thing, Leon Bridges
Any time you put this album on, it will be the perfect time. Super chill and funky

Most Fun: Greatest Hits, DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince -
What can I say, it was a blast!

Album Playthrough Project: June 2024

I am a little embarrassed with my list of albums listened to in June.  It seemed like it would be a great month for me to sit down and listen, but it seems my life picked up in the summer.  Anyway, here are the albums in which I intentionally listened.  


Shake Your Money Maker (1990) Black Crowes 6/2/24
INXS Kick (1987) INXS 6/10/24
Night Service: Live at LunAtico (2024) Jon Lampley 6/29/24
Beginnings (2017) Bruce Harris 6/29/24
True Design (2020) Giveton Gelin 6/29/24

Best Memories: Kick, INXS-
80's cool

Biggest Surprise: Night Service: Live at LunAtico, Jon Lampley -
Cool Jazz right off the stage of Late Night with Stephen Colbert!

Biggest Disappointment: I didn't choose Shake Your Money Maker as best memories -
Great album, great band, but it didn't have as much of an overall impact today as INXS. Might be different tomorrow.

Listened to Over and Over: Night Service: Live at LunAtico, Jon Lampley -
It might be the album that sabotaged my listening in June! I'm listening right now.
