Terrible Albums

Forums:

Brujo by New Riders Of The Purple Sage.  Grabbed it because it was cheap.  The guitars sound nice but the songs sure suck.

Is it Where The Beat Meets The Street bad?

I’ve never heard that one.  Googled it.  Oh Bobby.

Like a drill to the head.

Brujo has good cover art.  

It was NRPS' first record with Skip Battin, who replaced Dave Torbert, who'd split to form Kingfish.  Battin always was showing up late to the party, having already been in latter-era versions of The Byrds and Flying Burrito Brothers before joining the Riders.  He wrote a bunch of songs for that album, a couple that he shares credit with Kim Fowley on.  The better songs are the Hunter/Nelson Crooked Judge, the cover of Dylan's You Angel You, and John Dawson's Instant Armadillo Blues.  

The Riders records get spottier than this one.  It's kind of grown on me.  Give it a couple more spins before you ditch it.

I’ll hang on to it.  The art is great and like I said it’s worth it just for the steel playing.

You're thinking, "yeah, Gregg Rolie, he had some jams, he was in the original Santana Band, that's him singing on Black Magic Woman, Journey didn't totally blow choads"...

Do not think that. Avoid this album like the drum programmed 80's nightmare it is.

You've been warned.

Another 80's synth & electronic drum laden miscarriage. There may be some decent songs underneath the awful 1986 production values, and the videos are pretty funny, but this album is hurtin' sonically.

^^^^^I actually forgot this one existed. Now I remember.

It sucked.

This one had Jerry Garcia, Keith Richards, Santana and Branford Marsalis, but still kind of sucked.

There and back again/ Phil Lesh and friends

 

 

String Cheese Incident : Outside Inside.

Up until recently, I had been very careful as to what album I add to my collection, since Phil Lesh's There & Back again.

An album does not gain entry to my audio library unless I understand every musical aspect of it & forgive who ever tried to engineer it.

>>>The Riders records get spottier than this

 

i picked up 'take a red' on tape cassette a few weeks ago at a random music store in sac.

havent listened to it yet. 

How low should I set my expectations?
