These Days
Category: 90’s Rock
One Foot In The Grave
Beck actually recorded this album before Mellow Gold but it wasn’t released until after that album went through the stratosphere. Beck releases One Foot In The Grave on June 27, 1994. It’s “lo-fi” at its best.
Mirror Ball
Shakey — joined by Pearl Jam — releases “Mirror Ball” on June 27, 1997 …
“Where’s my mule?”
June 27, 1995 ~ Gov’t Mule releases their eponymous album. It’s hard to listen to “Mule” and still not smile …
Luck Of The Draw
Bonnie’s follow-up to “Nick of Time” is released on June 25, 1991 and does even better than the Grammy winner. Take a look at the liner notes (Still burning bright …) for a nod to Stevie Ray Vaughan who died a year earlier. SRV had encouraged Bonnie to quit drinking and she still credits him to this day for her sobriety.
Significant Other
Give me a hallelujah, brother … Limp Bizkit release their sophomore album on June 22, 1999.
Give me a word, give me a sign …
Collective Soul release their debut album on June 22, 1993 …
Exile in Guyville
It’s rare that a debut album is a masterpiece. Liz Phair releases her “Exile” on June 22, 1993. It’s considered one of the best albums of the 90’s — a track-by-track response to the Rolling Stones’ Exile on Main Street. It’s #327 on Rolling Stone’s list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. (It’s #4 on mine if anyone cares …)
Liz says she was attacted to Mick’s persona and the album because ” … it perfectly fit my impression of what was going on in the head of this guy I had a crush on. I could project onto the Stones and they would answer back. It was like having a relationship through the music.”

Odelay
Beck releases Odelay on June 18, 1996. It’s #306 on Rolling Stone’s 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.
