Andy Shauf · 2020 Spin it Again - He played every instrument, engineered it himself, and still made it sound like a room you've been sitting in for years.

Basia Bulat · 2022 Spin it Again - You filed this one away after two casual plays, and that's exactly what it was waiting for you to stop doing.

Carla Bruni · 2002 Spin it Again - Three million copies sold in France, and somehow it never crossed the channel — a spare, guitar-and-piano chanson debut that makes almost everything from 2002 sound overcrowded.

Hope Sandoval & The Warm Inventions · 2001 Spin it Again - Colm Ó Cíosóig left My Bloody Valentine long enough to help Hope Sandoval make a record this quiet and this heavy.

Prefab Sprout · 1984 Spin it Again - The album that serious songwriters quietly cite when they think no one is listening.

Karla Bonoff · 1978 Spin it Again - Linda Ronstadt was having the hits; Bonoff was writing them and making her own records anyway.

Richard Thompson · 1991 Spin it Again - One acoustic guitar, one story about a motorcyclist and a redhead, and somehow five minutes later you've heard one of the best songs of the century.

Andrew Gold · 1976 Spin it Again - A Burbank studio record from 1976 that most people own for one song and have never actually heard.

Jason Collett · 2008 Spin it Again - The BSS guitarist went to Montreal, hired the drummer who plays behind the beat on purpose, and made something Elliott Smith would have respected.

Vicki Brown · 1977 Spin it Again - She sang on half of London's hit records in the seventies, and almost nobody knew her name until this.

Vicki Brown · 1978 Spin it Again - She spent twenty years being the best thing on other people's records, then made one of her own, and nobody noticed.

Vicki Brown · 1982 Spin it Again - One of Britain's most in-demand session singers gets a Biddu production and forty minutes to herself — and sounds like she's been saving this up for years.

Neil Young & Crazy Horse · 2003 Spin it Again - A concept album recorded in a ranch barn with a band that had been playing together since Nixon — it should not work as well as it does.

Vusi Mahlasela · 1990 Spin it Again - Recorded in Pretoria in 1990, this is what it sounds like when someone has been singing for their life and finally gets a microphone worth the trouble.

Bob Dylan · 1976 Spin it Again - The album Blood on the Tracks gets all the credit, but this is the one with a room full of people who'd follow him anywhere.

Joni Mitchell · 1976 Spin it Again - She drove across the country alone after a breakup and came back with nine songs and Jaco Pastorius on fretless bass — no drummer required.

Sam Amidon · 2010 Spin it Again - Old murder ballads and fiddle tunes, run through an Icelandic studio and returned barely recognizable — in the best way.

Nick Drake · 1969 Spin it Again - Nick Drake recorded this in a converted Chelsea dairy at night, and you can hear every wall.

Vashti Bunyan · 1971 Spin it Again - Joe Boyd produced it at the same studio where Nick Drake made his records, it sold nothing, and she disappeared for thirty years — which is the only explanation for why you don't already own this.

Neil Young · 1972 Spin it Again - He slipped a disc, wore a sling, and recorded the best-selling album of 1972 in a barn and a Nashville studio with a drummer who'd already played on Blonde on Blonde.
