But the Alicia keys reference, the alleged plagerism, the past his prime but still trying to gravel like he has a cold voice
Hell apparently his newest album is his best in a while why not that

20th century Dylan (basically post 80s-present Dylan) is not for everyone, granted. I almost think of him as a different artist when comparing him to classic Dylan. But if you are into his later stuff, Modern Times is a great place to start and a worthy selection IMO.

They did Sorcerer. There's nothing about VMP to suggest they wouldn't pick Modern Times (which is also fantastic).

It says artist/band. Someone in the band she recorded with played on a Stax album. Not that big of a stretch. I don't really care though, I was just answering your question. Worst worded clue ever, so who knows what the hell he meant.

who did she play with that was featured in the Stax Anthology?
she hasn’t played with any band or artist from the Stax Anthology that I can find. Just a bunch of Hi Records guys

This artist/band has played with/recorded with/ or produced a band/artist/label that VMP has featured in a previous Anthology release.
Edit to:
This band has played with/recorded with a label that VMP has featured in a previous Anthology release.
I'm not saying Dylan might not be a better fit here, but we are talking about Storf giving a clue with 5 slashes in it. Her playing with someone who played on a Stax album is definitely close enough for Storf, even if it ends up being wrong.

when did she play with Stax records though? None of her albums are on Stax . And I don’t see any musicians “featured” in the Anthology that she played with. You have to really twist this one, seems like a big stretch, not a front runner at all

The session players on The Greatest.

You seem to have a very different interpretation of the slashes in the clue than I do.

I don’t think any of those guys played on any of the Stax Anthology records though.

She didn't play or record with an artist or band featured in the Stax Anthology. She didn't play or record with any label featured in the VMP Anthologies. She only played with guys who played with guys who were featured in the Stax Anthology....or played with guys who played on a label featured.

I explained why I think it could be close enough for Storf. No need to reiterate. Clearly we're on different pages on that. That's cool. Hope it's Modern Times for your sake.

Does this rule out Amy Winehouse?
Because I’m still convinced, without any supporting evidence and the tacit understanding it probably going to be Dylan, that it’s Back To Black.
It’s the 2006 Black Pumas/Durand Jones and the Indications, which is soooooooo in the VMP Essential wheelhouse.
Either that or Idlewild by OutKast, Erika Badu is on the women of Motown Anthology.

Cat Power's 'The Greatest' at 10: Classic Track-by-Track Album Review
When Chan Marshall, aka Cat Power, told her record company that she wanted to record her seventh album in Memphis with members of Al Green’s legendary backing band, no one blinked. Instead, everyone wondered what had taken her so long.

Rolling Stones Magazine ranked this album the 204th best album of all time!?! What a joke!
It’s ratings like this that make me laugh at their top 500 album of all-time list!
I mean it’s a great album, but......really? Just shows the favouritism Rolling Stones Magazine has towards Bob Dylan!

He couldn’t even count the right number of letters in the album title clue last month.

The first album in the Stax anthology was by Booker T. and the M.G.'s.
The wikipedia page for "Booker T. and the M.G.'s" mentions a drummer named "Steve Potts" who has played with them more recently.
The drummer on Cat Power's "The Greatest" is also "Steve Potts."
Pretty sure that's enough for Storf despite the fact that Steve Potts specifically wasn't featured on the Stax Anthology.

The Hodges brothers played on Cat Power records but they never played on anything in the VMP Stax Anthology.
