All Mornin' Long - Red Garland

Advantages: Good
Disadvantages: Bad

...Kind of Blue might have received most of the acclaim but Milestones, the recorded debut of the Miles Davis Sextet, is in the same league. This remarkable super group (featuring Davis's trumpet, tenor-saxophonist John Coltrane, altoist Cannonball Adderley, pianist Red Garland, bassist Paul Chambers and drummer Philly Joe Jones) was arguably the greatest one Miles Davis ever led.

I'm not good with genres, but I guess this could be described as soft country-rock. That description bothers me, though, since it makes the music sound boring, which it really isn't. All the way through the music is very strong and it complements the lyrics beautifully. Most lyrics are stories about people going about their everyday lives, but there are a few exceptions, like, for instance, the first track on the CD... Anchored in You: A love song about how you can... Read review
