Good records that artists put out past their prime.

[PrimeCutsLtd]

How about a list of records that you dig by a band or an artist past their prime. Hey they still got some gas left in the tank.
Here's one.

Some more please.

Starting with the blues lp brings many to mind.


Muddy Waters:


Electric Mud, Woodstock Album, Hard Again.





Almost every Miles Davis lp after Kinda Blue up to the 80s.





But with pop artist it gets a lot harder.


Al Green Belle (I love that record.)

Hey,





Neil Young, Tony Bennett, Marvin Gaye, Joni Mitchell, Miles Davis, Herbie Hancock, Pat Metheny, Q-Tip, Sade, etc.





Peace,

PHryme w/Primo and Royce is excellent, probably my favorite album of the year.

 

[LaserWolf]

DAngelo Black Messiah?

 

[fishmongerfunk]

it was one of the last things he did but i consider it career defining.

always a thousand times yes for that record.





This was actually an alright record

And WAYYY on the other side of things, this is a FANTASTIC RECORD. There are many more peaks and valleys in Jazz careers as opposed to rock and pop careers. Jazz is much more forgiving that way.

Laserwolf: I wasn't too impressed with that latter-day Howard Tate album. As far as the D'Angelo album (which is great, BTW), I never thought of him as being past his prime. He just took an extended break ala Donny Hathaway (who was making a lowkey comeback at the time of his death).

Haven 't given it a listen ina minute but remember liking Bob Dylan's : Time out of Mind. Same with Tom Waits' Blood Money

 

[LaserWolf]

Tom Waits is most always good or at least interesting.





Leonard Cohen recently mounted one of the most impressive come back tours of all time. If you have not seen footage from the tour jump on youtube. He was packing arenas with the young and old and putting on a great show. Also a song of his from 80s has become a standard in recent years.

This one is not better than his 70s work but it's his best in years i'd say that

I'm sure I'm given this hype on here before:

But I think hip hop examples are gonna be rare-ish and contested...
