Hard to pin it down to five, so here's ten.
Exile on Main Street - Rolling Stones
Ghost of Tom Joad - Bruce Springsteen
Rain Dogs - Tom Waits
Blues according to - Lightnin Hopkins
Blues - Jimi Hendrix
Shine eyed Mr. Zen - Kelly Joe Phelps
The Mountain - Steve Earle
Amorica - The Black Crowes
Time out of mind - Bob Dylan
Decades - Neil Young (Difficult to pick one album, but this one has most of the good stuff)
On another day it could be a very different ten.
