4 Huge Comeback Albums From Bob Dylan’s Career (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Bob Dylan has delivered a remarkable amount of wonderful music in his career. But it isn’t fair to expect a career now spanning more than 60 years of recording to be without a few bumpy stretches now and then. Luckily, Dylan always possessed a knack for coming up big when he needed it most. These four LPs were great on their own. And they also proved critical in the context of Dylan’s career as slump-breakers. Dylan threw the entire music world into a tizzy with his Self Portrait double album in
4 Elvis Costello Songs That Keep the Lyrics Simple but Still Soar (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Elvis Costello has developed a reputation as one of the most literate songwriters. His polysyllabic, verbose jaunts have become legendary. But that style isn’t the only weapon in his arsenal. The following four songs keep it simple, at least relative to his other sets of lyrics. And they still manage to pack an emotional wallop. What you’ll notice is that all four of the songs on this list skew towards slower, softer music than what you might normally associate with Costello. Perhaps that’s beca

Them emerged in the mid-60s and brought a jolt of improvisational energy to the beat music scene. In 1965, Them scored on both shores with “Here Comes The Night”, a song that combined light pop with driving rock. Not long after its success, Morrison was on his way to solo stardom. Them didn’t have a ton of experience when they started out. They
The “Good” Hit That Introduced Herman’s Hermits to the World in 1964 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Not every band brings drama and angst to their music. There’s something to be said for an outfit that looks to deliver joyful emotions when they play. It’s not as easy to pull off as you might think. Herman’s Hermits nailed the positivity vibe during their hit-making stretch in the 60s. And it all started on a suitably ebullient note with their smash 1964 single “I’m Into Something Good”. Originally Herman And The Hermits, they emerged from two different bands in Manchester, England. The name ca
