I see, you got it!!

Yup I went to record store! Highlight of the week!


I like the album particularly Side A…very 80s vibe…(partial writing credits to Billy Idol and Psychedelic Furs!)

But it does run out of gas on last two songs of Side B which are too long

Rick Rubin produces it supposedly (I know he often just takes credit though)


I like the album but can only give it a B+ or three out of four popcorn 🍿 boxes….

^ Where did you pick it up?
I know Mobius is doing curbside for the time being.

CD Cellar is open

The Allman Brothers Band - Eat a Peach
Watched the good doc on AXStv the other night called  "After The Crash", so much tragedy in one band.

Can you imagine hutch's berating of Space Freely had he went to a CD store during this epidemic?

Uh oh…but limited edition colored vinyl with poster!!

Nico’s first

Faces - five guys walk into a bar

John Prine's first few albums and his last on repeat for the last couple of weeks.

The first John Prine album is amazing

Self Titled (his first album)
Diamonds in the Rough
Sweet Revenge
Bruised Orange
In Spite of Ourselves
Tree of Forgiveness (his last album)

Can't go wrong with the debut (self titled)- probably his best.  The first John Prine album I listened to was 2005's Fair and Square.
I love "In Spite of Ourselves" as well.  I've not even heard the last album…the last Prine show I saw was 2011 at Wolf Trap but my fave was the one at Warner in 2007 when he did a good chunk of duets from In Spite of Ourselves with Iris DeMent.

Yea I was at 2007 show…


The first album is a must…it’s like a greatest hits

Anthology hits all the high points through 1993. In Spite of Ourselves was a totally charming duets collection. For Better or Worse was a nice but not as good follow-up 17 years later.

Broken Hearts & Dirty Windows was and excellent tribute album by a bunch of singers with arguably better singing voices.

1. "Bruised Orange (Chain of Sorrow)" Justin Vernon 
2. "Wedding Day in Funeralville" Conor Oberst and the Mystic Valley Band 
3. "All the Best" My Morning Jacket 
4. "Mexican Home" Josh Ritter 
5. "Six O'Clock News" Lambchop 
6. "Far From Me" Justin Townes Earle 
7. "Spanish Pipedream" The Avett Brothers 
8. "Angel from Montgomery" Old Crow Medicine Show 
9. "The Late John Garfield Blues" Sara Watkins 
10. "Daddy's Little Pumpkin" Drive-By Truckers 
11. "Unwed Fathers" Liz Isenberg/Deer Tick 
12. "Let's Talk Dirty in Hawaiian" Those Darlins

I highly recommend not starting your Prine journey with a bunch of fake folk artists.
