This weekend I'm at a music festival in North Carolina. So this Friday Five will be brief & all about the music.
- Bluegrass Album: "Cold on the Shoulder" by Tony Rice. Iconic album by iconic guitarist.
- Rock Album: "Led Zeppelin IV/Zoso/Runes" by Led Zeppelin. Sure it's got "Stairway to Heaven" on it, but literally every song on this album still gets played on the radio. How many albums can make that claim?
- Live Album: "At Fillmore East" by The Allman Brothers Band. Everything about it is amazing. The only problem is that it's not long enough!
- Jazz Album: "Acoustics" by The Tony Rice Unit. That's right, Tony does bluegrass & jazz. The opening track, "Gasology" is my favorite. It's incredible musicianship.
- Soundtrack: Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back. If having Vader's ominous "Imperial March" isn't enough, Empire features "Yoda's Theme", which by the way John Williams sneaks into his score of E.T., & "Han Solo & The Princess."
