Welcome to the Music Reviews category—your quick guide to new albums, classic tracks, and artists worth your time. Here you'll find clear takes on Rhythm and Blues, country albums, and the guitar moments that make you sit up. I write short, practical reviews so you can decide what to listen to next without slogging through long essays.
If you love groove and soul, check out "Ten Rhythm and Blues Artists You Must Listen To." That post lists ten artists with a short note on why each matters and one standout track to start with. It's perfect if you want to refresh a playlist or learn the essentials of RnB without getting lost in discographies.
Into country? "The Best Country Music Albums of the Last Decade" breaks down standout records, what makes each one special, and which songs will get stuck in your head. I point out which albums lean traditional, which ones try new sounds, and which are just plain fun for a long drive or a backyard barbecue.
For guitar lovers, "The Best Electric Guitar Solos of All Time" highlights solos that changed songs and inspired players. Each pick includes a quick note on technique and why the solo matters. You don't need to be a player to appreciate the emotion, the timing, and the moments that give you chills.
I listen with three questions in mind: Does it grab me in the first minute? Does it have something memorable? Is it worth another listen? I also call out who might like the record—fans of old-school RnB, modern country, or virtuoso guitar work. That way you can match reviews to your mood fast.
Use the posts as a starting point. If a review names a song, play that song first. If it mentions an album vibe—laid-back, rowdy, or soulful—pick the review that matches your night. I include quick links to streaming-friendly tracks and short play cues so you can listen without hunting around.
If you want recommendations, tell me what you already like and I'll point you at the right post. Want curated playlists for a road trip, a dinner, or a late-night jam? I’ve made lists that fit those moments. Bookmark this page and check back—I add new reviews often and update older ones when a record grows on me.
Want to dive deeper? Use the site search for artist names or album titles, or explore tags like "RnB," "Country," and "Guitar Solos." If you follow the short notes and start with the spotlight tracks, you'll build a great listening list quickly.
Subscribe for short weekly picks and one-line mini-reviews. I send a tight list: three tracks, one album, and one hidden gem each week. No long emails, just quick suggestions you can play in minutes. Prefer something specific? Send a note with a band or mood and I'll reply with a short list you can use right away. No spam, ever.
