Joint Control
John Renbourn & Wizz Jones ·2016
"John Renbourn is just, y'know, a true genius of the acoustic guitar. Made many records of his own, was in Pentangle with Burt Jansch and Wizz Jones had been around even before John Renbourn."

The Nashville Sessions
Townes Van Zandt ·1993
"There's some absolutely beautiful songs and performances and it's a really noisy sounding record. I think something had happened to the tapes. It sounds like the tapes came out of a garbage can or something, which makes me love it even more."

Lodestar
Shirley Collins ·2016
"Shirley Collins, she made records in the 60s and 70s and I don't think has made a record for many years and this album came out last year I think. She's much older and her voice is lower and it took me a minute to get used to that when I heard it but once I got through that, I realized what an incredible album it is."
