Here's another 50th anniversary album.
The pretty superfluous album of cover versions of rock-'n'-roll standards.
I remember OGWT playing this one.

Happy 50th birthday to this album.
A slice of Rock history.

Still assiduously listening to the albums released in 75.
It's starting to heat up a little, after a slow January.
Happy Birthday to Crystal Gayle, Peter Hamill's Nadir's Big Chance, among others.
But this popped up, 50th anniversary of this single,

My journey through 1975 has brought me to a good ol' Big Rig Truckin' country favourite.
CW McCall, famous for the song Convoy, seems to have written lots of songs that are similar to it.

Back in 2021, I listened to all the albums celebrating their 50th birthday, chronologically. It was a blast.
Repeating the exercise for 1975 isn't quite the same calibre.
I finished January by listening to a solo album by the bloke from Bread, and Sister Sledge's debut.

After a pause for Bowie week, back to 75.

Happy 50th, Dr Feelgood, Down by the Jetty.

This is pretty good, sometimes strays into Chas n Dave territory (which isn't that bad really).

Ok, so no cheating.
I've got to listen to all the albums released in 75, without prejudice.

Next up, Forever Michael by Michael Jackson.

It's a bit of a soft album, some of the songs could have been done by the Carpenters.
Overall, meh.

Happy 50th Anniversary to Rock the Bunker by Serge Gainsbourg.
Nowhere near as good as Melody Nelson but it's very Gainsbourg.

This one's a belter, I've got a track of theirs on a compilation, but this is one I'd not heard before.

Tower of Power, Urban Renewal.
Funk was still alive in 75.

Back to my trawl through all (or as many as I can manage)of the albums released in 1975.

Next up is a nice surprise. I'd heard of them, but never listened to them before.
Really enjoying this.

Happy 50th Anniversary to Flavours by The Guess Who.

Released in January '75.
Not my favourite album by John Martyn (that'd be Solid Air), but still a good listen.
Happy 50th anniversary Sunday's Child.

I'm going to be revisiting 1975 throughout the year, listening to the albums that were released week by week, chronologically.

So first up for it's 50th anniversary, released in January '75, is the wonderful Gil Scott-Heron.
