Hello Darkman Almighty!

I personally don't own a lot of CD's, primarily because
it's so often theres only one hit and the rest if meh.
More so will say passing fancy or worse yet, one hit
wonders lol. As you become familiar with the artist, you
just know the album will not disappoint.. and really, my
short list is pretty short.

One consistent common denomintor that I've found in recordings
where ALL the tunes are excellent are those mastered by Bernie
Grundman or Bob Clearmountain. Those guys have/had long waiting
lists or submissions for their work. I was digging into some of
this many many years ago and learned that they would only do
music that only appealed to them too. Before then, I kept a
small pile of CDs where most of tunes were brilliant
experiences and noticed that the mastering was most often those
guys! Then, at one point I prioritized my CD purchases that
bore their names.

Today, in the age of streaming, the mastering tag is next to
nonexistent, so it's hard to know which complete album is worth
acquiring, but now we can also sample an entire album before
prchase, or just purchase the indivual tunes that appeal to us.

But in the age of physical CDs, Clearmountain and Grundman
performed magic. It's relatively easy to find their work now
on the www. Maybe explore something in their catalog for a
rewarding experience.

If you have any recommendations, I'm all ears LOL.
Happy listening,

About 13 years go, two singers formed an unlikely duo: Allison
Krause + Robert Plant. I remember reading some editorials and
calling the pair "the beauty and the beast". Their
collaborative album "Raising Sand" is wonderful.

They've partnered in a recent recording "Raise the Roof". It's
not bad. I like tracks 1-6. I could pass 7-12, but maybe
they'll grow on me.
