Tote Spin 108:
Flash and the Pan - s/t
Dev and I were not prepared for this on an early Sunday morning.
This is basically the offspring of Cake and Bjork making a soundtrack for a very strange gin-fueled fever dream.
Odd. Strange. Weird. Disorienting. Great.

Poco - Ghost Town
I believe I said in a Tote Spin of one of their previous albums that they sound and feel like a better Eagles…
I stand by that statement.
Title track bangs.
The rest of the album is better than the Eagles and still not for me.

What an exciting discovery that took me deep down a rabbit hole of history.

Jarreau - s/t
It was fine… he has a decent voice… but it was just a run of the mill, kind of boring soft jazz - r&b that was so unfortunate in that era for complete lack of creativity.
Even the “hit” was dull. 😕
