Rolling Stone's 94th greatest album of all time
I don't like country and find Hank Williams to epitomise the genre for me. Lots of that awful yodelling they sometimes do, that just reminds me of that viral video of the child of the corn in a walmart yodelling in his wellies for all the gramdmas. *shivers*
  
No Country for Old Men (2007)
No Country for Old Men (2007)
2007 | Thriller, Western

"Love No Country for Old Men. I feel like there’s no formula to it. I love the Coen brothers. They’re so brilliant and they always surprise you in one way or another. A Serious Man was awesome. I like stuff like that, that kind of throws you for a loop. It takes you on a journey that is unexpected."

"Claudia Rankine’s book length poem Citizen was nominated for a National Book Critics Circle Award in the categories of poetry and criticism. It is one of the most devastating takes on American culture I have read in a long time, laying bare the stakes of being black in a country long ambivalent about our presence here."

Book Favorite

"I’m learning about Norway’s relationship with the Nazis and a lot of other things about that country. I like the protagonist, Harry Hole; it’s a ridiculous name, but it works. He’s grizzled, alcoholic, surrounded by a lot of corruption, so he’s working against the police and trying to find the serial killer at the same time."

Rolling Stone's 359th greatest album of all time
Great typical 70s rock album, quite a folk/country flavour as well as John's trademark rock and roll style. The only well known song here is the epic Rocket Man, but the rest fits well with the style of that and the album is a really good listen.
