The Onion's AV Club "Primer" on LC

Post by Damfino »

In connection with the release of "OId Ideas," the latest installment in The Onion's AV Club Primer series is an overview of Leonard's work — providing recommendations for new-comers looking for an entry point to LC's catalog. Startled, though, by one of the albums that makes the author's Top 5 best places to start. See what you think:

Damfino-
If you are referring to DOLM, you're going to run into a lot of controversy here. I am one of those who appreciate this piece of work, although I would love to see it redone without 'the wall of sound'.
Kindest regards,
Mary
