One of those lists that people use on facebook came to me today. My friend, Jim Blair, sent a challenge to name the 15 albums (records, cds, etc.) that impacted my life. He listed his and I saw that we had a lot in common. These do not necessarily reflect our favorites but do represent an important passage or time. I tried to do it in a logical way, but 15 is not a lot and I kept thinking of albums that I had forgotten. This is my attempt. It is interesting that each is an important point in my life, but I do notice that many of my favorite artists aren't included!
1. I Walk The Line, Johnny Cash (my first album, Haskell did not have a large selection.)
2. Beatles 65 (My favorite early rock album)
3. Endless Summer, The Beach Boys (I get Around, favorite high school song)
4. Mad Dogs & Englishmen, Joe Cocker (My introduction to Leon Russell)
5. A1A, Jimmy Buffet (became a Parrot Head)
6. Beatles White Album (Our first year of marriage & and a Christmas present)
7. Tapestry, Carol King (Got us thru Fort Leonardwood)
8. Red Headed Stranger, Willie Nelson, (My conversion to country)
9. Road to Hell, Chris Rea (just blew me away)
10. Roses, Kathy Mattea (one of the best crafted set of songs ever)
11. Roll With it, Steve Winwood ( soundtrack of the late 80's)
12. Greatest Hits, Dan Fogelberg (soundtrack of the early 90's)
13. *for the ones I forgot!
14. Songs from the Daily Planet, Todd Snider (This century)
15. Mission Temple Fireworks Stand, Paul Thorn (My Current Life Soundtrack)
