    Look Sharp! by Joe Jackson...Episode #34
    2026/10/12
    In this episode of Classic Rock Album Olympics music historians Gary Wenstrup and Robert Rodriguez examine Joe Jackson's Look Sharp! and award gold, silver and bronze medals to their favorite tracks. Medal Winners One More Time Is She Really Going Out With Him? Fools In Love Got The Time Look Sharp! Bonus Tracks Tell It To Carrie – Romantics Sunday Papers Is She Really Going Out With Him? (Live) Memphis Laundromat Monday Tilt The Harder They Come Battleground Got The Time – Anthrax Praying Mantis – Don Dixon Pretty Girls (Do The) Instant Mash Joe Jackson released his debut album, Look Sharp! in early 1979. The album introduced Jackson as one of the most exciting new voices in British new wave, combining punk's energy with sharp pop melodies, angular guitar work and clever, often cynical lyrics. Produced by David Kershenbaum, the album features Jackson on vocals, piano and harmonica, Gary Sanford on guitar, Graham Maby on bass and David Houghton on drums. The band's tight, energetic playing gives the record its distinctive sound. The album's best-known song, "Is She Really Going Out with Him?," was released as a single reaching #21 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100. "Sunday Papers" and "One More Time" were also released as singles, but did not chart. Look Sharp! reached #20 on the U.S. Billboard 200 album chart. The album's significance lies in how it helped define British new wave at the end of the 1970s. Jackson combined the rebellious attitude of punk with a sophisticated sense of melody and a sharp eye for human behavior. "Sunday Papers" satirizes sensationalist journalism, while "Happy Loving Couples" and "Fools in Love" examine romantic relationships with wit and skepticism. The black-and-white cover, featuring Jackson's white shoes against a dark background, became an iconic image of the period. Look Sharp! launched a career that would soon take Jackson into reggae, jazz, swing and sophisticated pop, but this debut remains one of his most immediate and influential records.

  • L.A. Woman by The Doors...Episode #33

    L.A. Woman by The Doors...Episode #33
    2026/10/12
    In this episode of Classic Rock Album Olympics music historians Gary Wenstrup and Robert Rodriguez open The Doors' L. A. Woman, select their favorite tracks and award their gold, silver and bronze medals accordingly. Medal Winners The Changeling Riders On The Storm Love Her Madly Hyacinth House L. A. Woman Bonus Tracks Til The End Of Time – Perry Como Cheek To Cheek – Fred Astaire Riders In The Sky – Vaughn Moore Roadhouse Blues (Live) – Doors Light My Fire – Doors Been Down So Long - Doors Crawling King Snake – John Lee Hooker Released in 1971, L.A. Woman is the sixth studio album by the Doors and the last album recorded with Jim Morrison before his death on July 3, 1971. It stands as one of the band's finest achievements, a gritty, blues-based return to the sound of their early years after the more elaborate production of albums such as The Soft Parade. The album emerged during a difficult period for the band. Morrison's legal troubles following the infamous 1969 Miami concert had damaged the Doors' reputation and concert prospects, while his increasingly unpredictable behavior created tension within the group. Yet musically, the band was reconnecting with its roots, drawing heavily on Chicago blues, boogie, and the loose, spontaneous feel of a live performance. A key change was the departure of longtime producer Paul A. Rothchild, who had worked on the band's previous studio albums. Rothchild reportedly became dissatisfied with the sessions and the band's performances, leading him to leave the project. The Doors then produced the album themselves with their longtime engineer, Bruce Botnick, recording much of the music in a relaxed, informal atmosphere at their own Workshop studio in Los Angeles. The resulting album is rawer and more direct than much of the Doors' earlier work. Morrison sounds particularly comfortable singing the blues, while Robby Krieger's guitar and Ray Manzarek's keyboards weave around John Densmore's flexible, jazz-influenced drumming. Two additional musicians helped shape the sound. Jerry Scheff, best known for his work with Elvis Presley, played bass throughout the album, providing a remarkably strong foundation that gave the Doors' music a more conventional blues-rock groove. Marc Benno added rhythm guitar on a handful of tracks. The album reached No. 9 on the U.S. Billboard 200. The first single, "Love Her Madly," was released in March 1971, ahead of the album, and peaked at No. 11 on the Billboard Hot 100. The second single, "Riders on the Storm," was released in June 1971 and reached No. 14. It was the last song Morrison recorded with the band before his death. L.A. Woman is significant because it captured the Doors at a moment of artistic renewal. The band had stripped away much of the elaborate studio polish of earlier records and rediscovered the blues-based chemistry that had made them compelling in the first place.

  • Heart Like A Wheel by Linda Ronstadt...Episode #32

    Heart Like A Wheel by Linda Ronstadt...Episode #32
    2026/09/29
    In this episode of Classic Rock Album Olympics music historians Gary Wenstrup and Robert Rodriguez roll Linda Ronstadt's Heart Like A Wheel to select their favorite tracks and award their gold, silver and bronze medals accordingly. Medal Winners Faithless Love Heart Like A Wheel You're No Good Keep Me From Blowing Away When Will I Be Loved Bonus Tracks Different Drum – Stone Ponys Different Drum- Mike Nesmith Long Long Time – Linda Ronstadt Dark End Of The Street – Flying Burrito Brothers The Dark End Of The Street – James Carr Making Love (At The Dark End Of The Street) – Clarence Carter It's So Easy – Linda Ronstadt That'll Be The Day – Linda Ronstadt Blue Bayou – Linda Ronstadt Heart Of Gold – Neil Young You're So Vain – Carly Simon Lonely Boy – Andrew Gold Thank you For Being A Friend – Andrew Gold You're No Good – Betty Everett The Game Of Love – Mindbenderrs The Thrill Is Gone – B.B. King Heart Like A Wheel – Anna McGarrigle Drop Kick Me, Jesus - Paul Craft/Bobby Bare I Will Never Marry – Linda Ronstadt You Can Close Your Eyes – Jame Taylor You Can Close Your Eyes – Linda Ronstadt You're No Good – Van Halen Cathy's Clown – Everly Brothers Willin' – Little Feat Willin' – Linda Ronstadt I Can't Help It (If I'm Still In Love With You) – Hank Williams It Doesn't Matter Anymore – Linda Ronstadt It Doesn't Matter Anymore – Buddy Holly You're Having My Baby – Paul Anka One Man Woman/One Woman Man – Paul Anka Released in November 1974, Heart Like a Wheel was Linda Ronstadt's fifth solo studio album and the record that made her into a major pop superstar. The album was produced by Peter Asher, who had also become Ronstadt's manager and was instrumental in establishing the polished yet emotionally powerful sound that would define her great albums of the 1970s. The musicians were an extraordinary collection of Los Angeles studio players and Ronstadt associates. Andrew Gold played guitar, piano, electric piano, drums and percussion and became one of the album's most important musical architects, while Kenny Edwards, Ronstadt's former Stone Poneys bandmate, played bass. The singles were particularly successful. "You're No Good" reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, giving Ronstadt her first No. 1 pop single and "When Will I Be Loved" reached No. 2 on the Hot 100. The album itself was an even bigger success. Heart Like a Wheel became Ronstadt's first No. 1 album on the Billboard. Its impact went far beyond sales. Heart Like a Wheel helped establish the template for the sophisticated country-rock/pop crossover that would dominate much of Ronstadt's career and influence artists who followed. She demonstrated that an album could move effortlessly between rock, country, R&B, folk and pop without sounding stylistically confused. Just as importantly, Ronstadt became a major interpreter of songs by emerging writers such as J.D. Souther, Lowell George and Anna McGarrigle, often bringing their work to audiences far larger than those they could reach themselves. Ultimately, Heart Like a Wheel was the album that established the Linda Ronstadt formula: an extraordinary singer, first-rate musicians, carefully chosen songs, country roots and rock muscle, all held together by Peter Asher's elegant production. It was both a commercial breakthrough and an artistic statement—and the beginning of one of the most successful recording careers by an American female artist of the 1970s.
