Listen to the Alec Ounsworth My List

Elvis Presley: The Complete 50's Masters [Listen]
"I got it years ago, and I've sort of been plowing through the whole thing. I like that it's unfinished live work surrounded by completed songs. You can feel how charismatic he was -- you can taste it."

Fleetwood Mac: Tusk [Listen]
"It's my favorite Fleetwood Mac album -- you get a great feel for different sides of the band. It's sprawling, like the White Album, but somehow it all hangs together. The second track, 'The Ledge,' is perfect."

Lou Reed: American Poet
"It's a 1972 live show, where he's just finished Transformer. His band has chops, but the sound is rawer than [later live album] Rock n Roll Animal -- it's closer to the Velvet Underground."
