Before Nov 2020, grades range from 5 stars 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+), 7 (B+). Ungraded albums are honorable mention :-), neutral :-|, negative :-(. At least 3 listens per album. Search "Grade Post" for more info. [I shelved/sold 10,000-12,000 albums before starting this blog and will add entries for some of those as they come up. If you don't see an album, it doesn't mean I don't know it.]

The Everly Brothers - Roots: 3.5 stars
If I were starting from scratch, I probably wouldn't own this at all, as too prototypical. As it is, I bought it on vinyl based on Christgau's high estimation of it. Then I rebought on CD when it was reissued, without having realized how lukewarm I am on it. I guess I will keep both, because I don't want to give up the CD, or the pristine vinyl just yet.
