Journal of a Melomaniac

Before 11/2020, grades range from 5 to 3.5 stars. After that, grade range is: 10 (A+), 9.5 (high A), 9 (A), 8.5 (high A-), 8 (A-), 7.5 (high B+), and 7 (B+). Ungraded albums are liked (fka honorable mention) :-), neutral :-|, and negative :-(. At least 3 listens per posted album. Search "Grade Post" for more info. I shelved/sold ~10,000 albums after at least 3 listens before starting this blog and will add entries for those as they come up. Yes, I know that album (probably).

James McMurtry - Complicated Game: 4.5 stars

I was foolish to dismiss this man simply on the basis that he is the son of a famous man. One of the best "Americana" albums I have ever heard, if not the best. After The Brooklyn Side, of course.
