I'm here to tell you, I'm a big #kacey fan. Those of us with a heart condition need this medicine. Got to thank my wife for this one as I don't buy a lot of new records$$$ but this was well worth it. Great songwriting and production. Thumbs up

Picked a #record to match the quiet morning mood of the first snow of the season. Nick Drake has, is, and will always be an important part of my journey. My blood pressure thanks me daily. Try it.

Albums don't have to be heard based on the day of the week but I don't mind if this one falls on a Sunday. Record makes me feel determined to be a nicer person. Driving beat over a ubiquitous melody. Seems my coffee is working on the sabbath.

Tú Sólo Tó is one of my favorite songs and I don't care who sings it. Mostly knew of Linda from the Laurel Canyon era of singer/songwriters but she has a deep history with #Mariachi growing up in #Tucson. This sounds and feels Mui Bueno!

Starting the day with two of my favorite things, the #Beatles & #BookerT & the MG's. A little Memphis walk over to Abbey Road. Freakin' groovy man. Happy Friday you people!

Probably some label issues so don't see this album on streaming but my first copy was on cassette and it came in handy when the powers that be unexpectedly flipped this sailor to night shift. Burundi beats and my first ever cup of coffee was right here

Raggedy but right. Essential record if you want to round out your collection to fit all occasions and we all occasionally get the blues. Amazing that my copy does not skip but it lets you know the blues ain't an easy road to travel.

Poor man's Space Odyssey? Maybe, but I always liked an #album theme and dreaming about exploring the great up yonder. 2 for 1 on here and the winning bid was One Dollar Bob! Sweet 80's production.

Heard "I loves you Porgy" in a store recently which was remarkable in itself but the thought came to me that AI is going to have a hard time creating authenticity anywhere close to her talent and tone. Good luck robot. I'm betting on #Nina.

Common ground. Hard to find today but I remember diplomacy in action negotiating with my mother as we shared a house with one turntable in the livingroom. She was entering her softer jazz era and I liked quirky arrangements. Say hello to Joe Jackson

I share my wonderful life with an avowed #Who Hater but a baby-steps breakthrough happened this morning when this London Symphony Tommy #album was described as "Sounding...fun"

Maybe we could all use a little symphonic embellishment right now.

I purchased this back in the early 80's at the Little Big Store in #Mississippi having been forewarned it was a guaranteed gateway to eternal damnation. Most likely not true but if salvation is that arbitrary....so be it. Happy #Halloween!

My bad, for much of my life I was unaware of Mink DeVille/Willie. Reminds me of something a little rockin' Springsteenish. Makes sense, they were hitting around the same time and general area. Played #CBGB a lot. Sad to have missed it.

Went to the #mymorningjacket show this past Sunday. Good band to help reset yourself. A lot of songs build a low roar narrative but this is eventually where you end up, bathed in light and rejoicing. Z album release anniversary.

Maybe a #motown response to Ray Charles' Modern Sounds in Country and Western #music but I'll take it. Are there a couple hokey songs on here?...maybe but what isn't and it's still the #supremes. $2 and in great condition. Can any of us make the same claim?

Sometimes it seems a bit shallow to post #records while we seem to be unravelling but it helps me stay sane. Two artists to grab hold of on this #album. #Willie looks like he wants me to give this to someone who needs it. I have an extra so will do.

Don't profess to be an expert on Genesis but have a friend who's a wiz at math and making mead that does. Will call if necessary. This #record did sound amazing on my proton car stereo growing up. Apparently was $7.97, sold in today's market for $2. Sorry Phil

Came across Dan Hicks records when I moved to #Austin. Quirky things were quickly introduced to my tiny rube of a mind and this #album was one of them. Humor, #jazz, hot licks, and damn if I didn't have a moody friend named Richard and so do you!

I'm sure my first #guitar teacher was hungover when I walked in with my 3 chords. Said if you want to play in this town you will have to learn Stormy Monday, probably trying to get rid of my white bread ass but I learned it. Never did play it in town. #music

That feeling you get when you find something that's been missing even if you didn't know it was missing. Found it. #Record collection is all a mess right now but the #vinyl gods intervened on my behalf last night. Oh Great Waxelous!...
I thank you.

Wow did my mother hate hate hate Hee Haw. Trickle down effect I hated it too but one day a friend said I should check out Buck Owens and his Buckaroos. Much more down my lane, with Don Rich on guitar and high harmony.
Love that #bakersfield sound.

At the @VA today which is what you do a lot with a heart that does not march in time. Hear a lot of “thank you for your service”. I make sure to thank them as well. Not an easy job dealing with us @vets. Diverse workforce displaying simple human kindness. Much appreciated.

Great live recording here of one of my favorite #guitar players but it was Idris Muhammad the #drummer that always stood out to me. Plays like he's whappin' a pickle bucket for some sort of retribution. I dig it and seems so does the crowd

Let's kick some non-violent ass out there today. On that note maybe remember many of the authorities or hopefully at least some you see today don't know what is happening in the country either. Maybe we change a few minds.

Kind of dreary out so turtleneck time it is. Say, let's see what the lads are doing. Something new pops out each time I listen to this record. Harmonies abound.
