His story is mind blowing too. Imagine being at the top of the jazz game and then getting sent up for narcotics and sitting out the entire 1960s in a jail cell.

Is a cliché to call this one of the best albums ever made? Yes. But it's also kind of undeniable.
This is not a punk album, and the Clash wasn't really a punk band. Putting a finger on what they were is hard, because they straddled many genres, from ska to reggae to R&B to pop to straight-up rock. And it's all here.
This is my original from 1979 - the US version. It cost something like $7 because the band insisted it be cheap.
Lovely way to spend a Saturday afternoon listening to Nick Drake. Very moody in #Donegal loud thunder and heavy rain then beautiful sunshine. #vinyl#folk
Got a great deal on Aerosmith Greatest Hits, Snow Patrol Wilderness and U2 Unforgettable Fire EP (replacement) at Huddersfield Market. Need to try more of those. #vinyl
It’s only early May but 2023 album of the year is already going to be a very tough choice. This is a strong early contender. Collective of Scottish artists who just gathered in a studio on a Hebridean island for a few days and improvised. Tremendous.
