Look, this is OK but it’s just not my cup of tea. By the way, the rule around listening the weeks’ album on my commute to and from work is working well. I know a good album when I choose to listen to it at work, or at home, or find myself learning the lyrics or really listening to the lyrics. Born Under a Bad Sign, maybe blues in general, is background music for me. Nothing offensive, and I don”t dislike it, and perfect for setting a mood, but not a genre I’m drawn to. I think that much is true.
And that, is the first 10 albums done. I’m actually pretty impressed that I’ve made it this far, though I am committed to seeing this out. So far, I’ve listened to some stuff I won’t come back to, but I’ve heard a handful of albums that I’ve really connected with. I’m really glad I’m doing this.
