Monday: Nilsson, "Duit On Mon Dei" (1975)
Not a commercial success for Nilsson, but he was never interested in that sort of success.

Tuesday: Merle Haggard, "Same Train, A Different Time" (1969)
Double album of Merle covering Jimmie Rodgers. We played the traditional folk murder ballad, "Frankie and Johnny."

Wednesday: Nancy Sinatra, "Boots" (1966)
Super groovy record. Sinatra covers The Rolling Stones, The Beatles, Bob Dylan, amongst others. This album also features her big hit, "These Boots Are Made For Walkin."

Thursday: Boston, "Don't Look Back" (1978)
Everyone has a mission in life. The Current Morning Show's mission is to remind those NOT hip to Boston, that Boston made amazing music and deserves more cred. Steve and Jill's motto is "Bringin Boston Back in 2011" (There was an attempt made in 2010, but little effort, if any, was actually made).

Friday: Black Sabbath, "Master of Reality" (1971)
Considered by many to be the first "stoner rock" album. We coughed along with Tony Iommi at the very beginning of "Sweet Leaf."
