> Let's Get It On - Marvin Gaye (best Motown album ever??)
I knew there was a killer one that I was forgetting. Bingo, Michael!
I guess in the general public's perception Fleetwood Mac's s/t album - the
first Buckingham/Nicks one - was a comeback of sorts. Personally the whole
Bare Trees/Kiln House/Mystery To Me/Penguin/Future Days/Heroes period (I
know I typed them out of sequence) is my favorite, even though I also enjoy
much of the latter era and the Green/Spencer blues era.
Two great comebacks are among my favorite records of 2006, from bands who
hadn't made a record in 30 years - Jo Jo Gunne and Cactus. JJG is the
original foursome (I forgot what a great slide player Andes is) with about
half new and half credible remakes; they sound better than ever. Cactus is
the original band minus the late Rusty Day - and just having Jim McCarty
wailing on guitar again has made my year. They're supposed to be touring
(beyond the NYC and Euro Festival dates they did last month) and I am so
*there* if they do.
Bruce Brodeen, take heed!
cheers
