Song of Norway

  Weeks Spent On The Chart: Song of Norway spent two non-consecutive weeks on the chart, those being: - 4/14 - 5/5 Album Review: I felt very out of my depth with this one.  It's not only a operatta, but it's one I've never heard of in my life about a guy I've never heard of in my life.  As such the story was kind of lost on me, there's clearly a lot of context I'm missing, both from the guy's life and from the play itself.  However, this album does not inspire me to seek out said musical.  Outside of the track listed as my favorite, which is a great track mind, the whole album has that old musical quality where the music kind of all sounds the same, both inside of itself and in the context of the genre, and it makes for a rather boring listen overall.  Not for me. 4/10 Favorite Song: Least Favorite Song:

The King Cole Trio Vol. 1

  Weeks on the chart: The King Cole Trio Vol. 1 had an impressive run of 12 weeks on the charts, non-consecutively, separated into the following chunks: - 3/21-4/7: 3 weeks - 4/21-4/28: 2 weeks - 5/19-6/23: 6 weeks - 8/4: 1 week Album Review:  Solid little jazz album, great instrumentation, Nat's vocals are on point as always, it's a nice smooth, easy listen.  I feel like it lacks a real hook through most of it though, a lot of the tracks are just kinda generically good until the penultimate track, Prelude in C#Minor, which does kinda go off.  It's a good album but just kinda generic. 7/10 Favorite Song: Least Favorite Song:
