1001 Free Albums
Radio 3.net offers 1001 great albums from the 1950s through the 2005 in streaming format. If you haven’t heard them, I highly recommend the Count Basie’s Atomic Basie and The Wildest by Louis Prima, Both from the 50s. Very enjoyable stuff.
Prima’s CD includes his wife Keelie Smith, who’s a great singer to this day. And the fantastic Sam Butera on the Sax. It ust have been a top party album in it’s day. I love listening to it because it’s fun from beginning to end.
The Atomic Basie is considered one of the top Jazz records of all time. It’s very cool stuff. They also have some Miles Davis and Thelonious Monk. Not to mention Duke Ellington. Of the current stuff, I really like the Kings of Leon “Youth And Young Manhood” also The Thrills “So Much for the City”. But there’s plenty of good stuff here.
