I've listened to my share of Manilow in my time. Brought my ma to see him years ago, good concert. The point of the video is that most people will say they hate him but in reality they like at least one song, then there's that other one isn't too bad, and before you know it they're admitting they're a fan.

Basically, it was just a chance to trot out that video again and I couldn't pass it up.

Album title: Love and War
Artist: Brad Paisley

Estimated Rating:

Average RYM Score: 2.70
More country, but proper country it would seem. “One Beer Can” is hilarious, “Go To Bed Early” is, well, sexy, (“Let's go to bed early and stay up all night” - oh, you cheeky devil!) but I'm not so sure I want to hear Jagger on a song that kind of reminds me of “Start Me Up”, and of course Jagger takes the song over as he does any collab he works on (I suppose that's the point; not much sense him being there if he's not going to make his presence felt, but still). “Contact High” makes up for it bigtime, while the legendary John Fogerty adds his talents to the storming title track which almost recalls his own band's anti-war anthem, “Fortunate Son”.

Paisley then has a go at internet culture in “Selfie#theinternetisforever” - clever song which really captures the zeitgeist of the twenty-first century with a great hook, and “Gold All Over the Ground” namechecks Johnny Cash as a co-writer, so I can't say, but I wonder if it's a version of one of his songs, perhaps rewritten by Paisley? Good song anyway with one of my favourites, mandolin, and I see at the end there's some recording of Cash talking, so maybe that's why. Great banjo in “Solar Powered Girl”, really bluegrass feel to it and another great track is the ballad “The Devil is Alive and Well”. Excellent album; another country star to add to my list. Again, eat it, Alee!

You can always pass up the opportunity to invoke Family Guy. Always.

So in other words you might actually like that album but are choosing to be stubborn for no good reason.

Album title: Third
Artist: Cait Brennan
Genre: Indie Pop/Soul/Glam Rock
Nationality: American
Release date: April 21
Position in Discography: Second
Estimated Rating:

Familiar with this artist? No
Familiar with the genre or subgenre? No
Average RYM Score: 3.33
Very bluesy opening but I must say it's surprising how masculine she sounds. Nothing wrong with that, I guess, but had I heard this without any information I would have assumed that was a guy singing. Next two tracks are a bit **** but then we get “At the End of the World” which is pretty awesome really, a blues ballad with real punch. There are a few weak tracks here for sure - “Stack Overflow”, “A Hard Man to Love” - but most of it is quite impressive. Yeah, pretty decent all right.

It's kind of amazing how many albums came out in 2017 that I never listened to, much less that were even on my radar. That's just the way of the world I s'pose...
