And how to slaughter a great song

 

[Achim1811]

In my opinion one of the most important albums in 2024. Surprisingly enough for me, I did not expect such from an artist who wasn't at a high place on my list of relevant singers. But even me can be wrong . Not often. But it can happen .
On Monday, it was announced that Beyoncé did not receive a nomination for "Cowboy Carter" at the 2024 CMA Awards. (Country Music Association, the guardians of the holy grail of Country Music).
Not for the honky tonk single "Texas Hold 'Em", which made her the first black woman with a number one country song. Not for the crushing ballad "16 Carriages", in which she reflects on heritage and sacrifice.
Not even for "Blackbiird", their reinterpretation of a Beatles classic starring Tanner Adell, Brittney Spencer, Tiera Kennedy and Reyna Roberts – four black women leading the next generation of country music.

I too was surprised by this release. One to keep. Worth it just for Blackbird.

I thought they (Genesis) pretty much disowned this album!?

The very first Genesis in 1969. It was played in an endless loop in Düsseldorf's Creamcheese. Soifz...

It's certainly very different to their later albums.

It's certainly very different to their later albums.

But the smart ones like us knew immediately: Great things will follow!

It's certainly very different to their later albums.

I've never listened to it.

 

[QuarryHunslet]

I've never listened to it.

It's okay, and probably worth a listen.

My next choice is this album from Marillion.

 

[vdp]

Some very good stuff... But overrated as an album?
