3folddado Bob Log III is a Blues Party Animal. Immensely danceable and loads of fun, this album banishes your woes to the deepest rings of hell. Favorite track: SHAKE THE BOOT.

Brian Parker Don’t be fooled by the release date: this album is old enough, I remember a track being on the 3rd Fat Possum Blues Crap sampler.

patzerblitz Early incarnation of one of my favorite bands, Buffalo Killers. Favorite track: Want You So Bad.

mcebbie Listening to this album makes me feel like I’m at CBGB during its ‘70’s heyday, minus second hand smoke and sweaty leather. Take a heap of The Stooges, a drop of Van Morrison in Them, and blend it with early Rolling Stones. and you’ve got this excellent band. Following in the footsteps of other great Ohio bands like The National, Black Keys, and The Breeders, I hope Thee Shams ‘Please Yourself’ will take them off into a stratosphere of success. Favorite track: She's Been Around.

Man Excellent reimagining of an already iconic album. Well done bang on a can all stars! Favorite track: 2/2 (arr. Evan Ziporyn).

Chris D. BoaC bring a unique sense of humanity to an already fantastic album. Rather than simply being a clone, this version opens up the original work and gives it a new life while still celebrating what made it so iconic from its creation. Favorite track: 1/1 (arr. Michael Gordon).

Murphy Adams This is the first live version of Brian Eno’s music I have heard, and it’s truly stunning. the Bang on a Can All-Stars did a fantastic job with bringing this classic to life. Favorite track: 2/1 (arr. Julia Wolfe).

kuuma a perennial go-to for vibing into concentration

chicken egg: O Some of my favorite chamber music ever made and one of my favorite albums. All of the subtle timbral/rhythmic changes make me think of ooze for some reason. The bass drum at the end of Stil is utterly hypnotic. I personally feel this album is better than the original! Favorite track: Stil. (For Vibraphone & Bass Drum).

"The sea is wide and the sea is long
The silent conductor of a distant song
And if you know it and even if you don’t
Sing it out from down below..."

polinos Reworking of Stil., Taylor Duprees excellent minimalist electronic work with live instruments. Perhaps even better - at least warmer and more organic - than the predecessor.
