Big Albums from January 1974: Dylan, Joni, Harmonia and More

A look at the most important/influential albums released this month 50 years ago. Click the links to order them from Amazon.

Another Joni classic and the one that yielded her only Top 10 hit, "Help Me."

Bob reconvenes the Band for a collection of his most personal tunes, including "Sara," "Wedding Song" and "Forever Young."

Gram continues to pioneer what we now call alt-country on his second and, sadly, final solo LP. Emmylou Harris is back, providing beautiful, sterling harmonies. James Burton and other hitters provide the instrumental backing. Tunes include "Hearts on Fire," "I Can't Dance," "Hearts on Fire" and a sublime "Love Hurts."

Harmonia - Musik von Harmonia
A Krautrock classic resulting from the combination of Neu! guitarist Michael Rother with Cluster's Hans-Joachim Roedelius and Dieter Moebius. Must listening for anyone interested in the genre.
