Advantages: May be the best contemporary white female blues singer and acoustic guitarist you'll ever hear. Disadvantages: None
...THE ARTIST:
In 1981 Rory Block was no young white female blues singer like today’s Susan Tedeschi.
Nor was she the Bonnie Raitt of old, back in her incredible pre-Grammy days in the late 60s and early 70s. That’s when Bonnie would play small clubs like the old Main Line on Philadelphia’s Haverford Avenue, a steel National Guitar on her knee, a leer in her eyes, an oath in her mouth, grinding her hips as she played, purring “I’m gonna put you in my blender, gonna whip mash ‘n puree.”
No, already in 1981 Block was arguably better than both -- possibly the best contemporary white female combination blues singer and acoustic guitar player around.
We’re talking about a woman who, as a teen working in her father Alan’s legendary leather and sandal shop in New York’s Greenwich Village in the 60s and 70s, would watch and listen...

Advantages: Some amazing, original tracks Disadvantages: Not to everyone's taste
..."The world will know that this is the biggest mix tape on road, The world will know that Baby Blue is a heavy lyricist, The world will know that she's light skinned, The world will know that she's from south London, The world will know she's rolling with Ace and Invisible"
I don't really think there is a better way to introduce this CD than to use the words of Ace and Invisible, It is probably the best way to introduce the 20 year old female British hip hop artist that has gained my respect recently.
This full name of this mixtape CD is Out of the Blue Volume 2 - The world will know, and follows up her first CD, out of the Blue. And while ciao does not specify what volume this category is for, all the product information corresponds with that of this CD, now we have that cleared up let us get on with the music.
I cannot stop...

Advantages: Thurston Moore takes the creative lead on this one Disadvantages: Not enough people are listening to this
...left of field nineties guitar band.
Daydream Nation although not their most accesible album is in my opinion their best, the tracks are noisy and share a theme of fast paced anti-melodic Punk. (I hesitate to use the word punk as this could mean many things which do not apply) The Album has a strange quality in that I am to this day unable to give a name to any of the tracks, I dont have a favourite track, Daydream Nation is more than the sum of it's parts.
Related Bands: Pixies, Pavement, Nirvana, Jesus and Mary Chain, Dinosaur Junior, Butthole Surfers.
If you like Daydream Nation these are some other albums I would recommend.
Pixies: Doolittle
Pavement: Slanted & Enchanted
Thurston Moore: Psychic hearts
To conclude with a word of warning I would like to mention that Sonic Youth are not to everyone's liking, the Music...
