Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers · 1975 Spin it Again - Art Blakey at seventy-one, recorded in 1975 but released after his death, playing drums exactly the way he'd always played them—which is to say, better than almost everyone else.

Bon Jovi · 1986 Spin it Again - Bob Rock engineered it, Desmond Child co-wrote it, and Jon Bon Jovi almost left the best song off the record.

Eurogliders · 1984 Spin it Again - Grace Knight sang jazz standards later in life, and once you hear this record properly you understand exactly why that was always inevitable.

Oscar Peterson · 1956 Spin it Again - Ray Brown's bass lines carry more structural logic than most pianists' left hands, and Peterson plays over them like the room belongs to him.

Oscar Peterson · 1963 Spin it Again - Ray Brown's bass sits just below your sternum, and the rest of the record builds itself around that fact.

Chris Stapleton · 2015 Spin it Again - He spent a decade writing hits for other people, and then Dave Cobb put him in RCA Studio A and just let the tape roll.

João Gilberto · 1960 Spin it Again - João Gilberto in 1960, turning a handful of American standards into something so quiet and precise it makes every other vocal performance in the room sound like it's trying too hard.

Rush · 1980 Spin it Again - Rush figured out that seven-minute songs hit harder when the band actually knows when to breathe, and 1980 was the year they proved it.
