These are the essentials that we're listening to albums that

the day, when you bought the album, you bought it
because of the song that was featured on the radio.
(13:26):
In this case it was take Me in your arms
and rock Me. But when you bought the Stampede album
and dug deep into side two, you found this gem
from the Doobie Brothers. This is Texas lullaby in Don Spaceman.

the first one to feature Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nix
in the lineup, and they referred to it as the
other White album. Fleetwood Mac and World turning. We're listening
to the essentials, the albums that are celebrating their fiftieth
anniversary this year, and he ended up leaving his band,
(22:26):
and he put together his first solo album. But he
couldn't do it until he found an elf, and he did,
and that's next. I'm Don Clark. Welcome to Don'spaceman, Ritchie Blackmore.

It was so terrifying that nobody would sleep for the
Something Well, I know we didn't realize how good we were.
It was as good as purple in its own way.
And then they locked me up for four days. I
don't know who Rainbow was, no clue to keep an
(23:27):
eye on him. Don't you say you might don't get
his hair coming. I'm seriously contemplating getting Kim with the
head of my guitar. And Rangel was his moment of
stepping into the spotlight. He was saying, this is me,
this is where I want to go.

number of years before this album came out, they were

he did as his first solo album, and it was
(35:54):
a concept album. What a concept It was songs about
the story of a young child, and when you listen
to it, you would look at the person that bought
it and thought, wow, you either have a really great
sense of humor or a really sick sense of humor.
