Day 17
Velvet Underground & Nico
Reed is a bit of a blind spot for me, I’ve been slowly digesting him since I bought this on cd in college. This is still the thing I like the most. I think it is incredible and it actually makes it harder to listen to other Reed and VU, because nothing lives up to this. I’m getting there though. (This was in my to be spun pile)

Tash Sultana "Flow State" (2018 Mom + Pop)
Going with an interesting modern guitarist for this prompt. The guitar work on Big Smoke and Cigarettes, in particular, is just wonderful. Discovered Tash Sultana via this board and really enjoy this record.

Day 15: Nina Simone
Nina Simone - Nina Simone Sings The Blues
I have only spun this album a few times since I purchased it, I don’t reach for it often but every time I spin it I realize why I hold on to it.

I think you got scooped on this one, but should probably be exempt from the repeats rule because it's so good!

LIVE AT MAX’S KANSAS CITY | Rhino
Years before anyone had ever heard of CBGB, Max's was THE place in New York City to mingle with Manhattan scenesters and see cutting-edge rock acts. Near the top of the latter list was The Velvet Underground, whose final show with leader Lou Reed (until a brief '90s reunion) is documented on...

Day 16: Jimi Hendrix
V/A - Woodstock Two
One of the first things that comes to my mind whenever I hear or see Hendrix’s name is always Woodstock. I chose the 2nd comp in particular because the entirety of side 1 is part of Hendrix’s performance and the album is even dedicated to him.
