While re-listening to Bitches Brew tonight it occurred to me, there’s never been anything that sounds quite like it since, and there never will be again.

What are your favorite unicorn albums?

    A Grand Don’t Come For Free by The Streets. I love this album start to finish and it’s got a great story right through it.

    First time I heard it I’d gotten an email from Vice promoting it and I clicked the link thinking it would just be the first 20 seconds of each song but it was the whole album! Was just starting a movie but I never watched it, just listened to the album straight through. So good.

      His first few albums really are seminal. If you’re a HHH there really is no comparison to them.

      If this makes sense, there’s a feeling of old outlaw country in those albums and the stories he tells.

        It’s funny because I’m not a HHH by any stretch of the imagination! But man, this is a desert island album for me. I absolutely get what you mean about the outlaw feeling though.
