Hunter's Weekly Album Mini-Reviews

Sept. 5th, David Byrne – Who Is The Sky?

David Byrne, Who Is The Sky? ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ David Byrne, the ever eccentric frontman of Talking Heads, is back with a new solo album. This is one of those examples where you can’t judge an album by its cover, because this album cover straight up gives a panic attack. Too much going on. Sensory overload. But this album is the most feel good of the year. But seriously, this album just radiates good vibes, which is something that I’m not sure we get enough of these days. You cannot help but smile when you listen to this album. Every song on...

August 29, Sabrina Carpenter – Man’s Best Friend

Sabrina Carpenter, Man’s Best Friend ⭐️⭐️❌❌❌ Children, advert your eyes and ears! Sabrina Carpenter is back with a new album, and boy, oh boy, the pearl clutchers are out in full force.

It’s a nice change of pace from the usual modern Pop sound. This album can be separated into two separate ethos: A very sarcastic, funny one, and a contrasting deadly serious...

August 14th, Woody Guthrie – Woody at Home – Vol 1 + 2

Woody Guthrie, Woody at Home - Vol 1 + 2 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ How often do you get to hear new Woody Guthrie? Not very often. These recordings are taken from tapes recorded at his Brooklyn apartment circa 1951/52 that were sent to his publisher at the time. These were the days of publishing sheet music and such, at that’s what these were for. Basically transcribing. But the recordings were deemed too low of sound quality to release, until recently when leaps in sound separation technology allowed the Guthrie estate to go in and properly clean up the recordings, and balance his...
