Rolling Stone's 434th greatest album of all time (474th in the 2020 list)
My second time listening to Big Star (an act I had never heard of a few days ago) was better than the first. The songs here are much better than the "Third" album, most notably "Thirteen", which I had heard before somewhere. The singer's voice reminds me of a Scottish band, El Presidente, being part whine, part singing. Good 70s folk-rock.

Track

"She plays the harp and the piano. But what's interesting about her voice is that it's a deal breaker: People either love it or hate it, and I'm always attracted to artists who have that kind of divisive quality. Her songs are influenced by classical music, early folk, and chamber music, and she sings about nature and love and heartbreak but in very unexpected, poetic ways. And she's amazing to watch live. She's like Jimi Hendrix on the harp."

"Speaking of snake-ish charmers, enter a young Bob Dylan in D. A. Pennebaker’s 1967 Dont Look Back. This may be a documentary, but don’t think for one moment that Dylan isn’t brilliantly putting on a performance as PYT (pretty young thing) “Bobby Dylan, the brilliant folksinger.” And while it’s not to my credit that I could never wrap my mind around folk music, even I am not immune from the oodles of bratty charm that Dylan exudes here."
