Might have featured this before but whatever, I dig it. Fun record even if you are overly familiar with a I-IV-V chord pattern. Yes, Yes, Oh What a Thrill!

Right or Wrong, well I'm saying wrong if you think this isn't one of the best Texas swing songs ever written. #Bob Will's is still king. Only king worth submitting to. Great Merle tribute album.

A lot of #football out there. Not the hardest hitting album but some of the best things in life are what happens just trying to get lined up correctly. If you are not sure how to interpret that well that makes two of us. Go Bears!

Cloudy mellow day out there so this will do nicely. Lalo Schifrin even makes an appearance. Never a bad thing.

Was recently playing #Fleetwood Mac Mirage and ran across this album of B-sides. First track is Cool Water, an old Son's of the Pioneers hit which was covered by the Mac as the B-side to the single Gypsy. 🤷‍♂️ Sure dig it though.

I guess I'm officially on an 80's Fleetwood Mac kick, again. As a teen this one was in heavy rotation. The solo on Hold Me got a lot of quality air guitar play. Guitar of choice was an extended leather grip Borg Bancroft racquet. Always seemed to stay in tune.

Must have listened to Trouble a thousand million times. Punchy record with #80's precision. It's a bargain bin hero so stoop down and put it in your pile next time you visit your local #record store.

Seems unavailable on the streams except pieced together so go buy it on #vinyl. Comp #album of non-singles and B-sides. Sound like hits to me. Friend handed this to me because he cared and had a spare. That Rain song gets me every time.

No surprise here, another Randy Newman #album, 12 songs full. Couple songs on here were pretty big hits for others. A reminder that #Songwriter mailbox money spends just the same as touring money but you get to wear a house robe all day.

Yeah matching red leather suits will set you back on the front end but stage-hair maintenance is really where they get you. Was not cheap to rock back then. Solid #80's album and an inescapable banger kicks off side two. Life in the mid-range sound.

Bought this on cassette before flying out to our ship in the middle of a far away sea. Only tape I had. Was pretty nervous about what I had gotten myself into but this album kept my mind on the right side of sanity. A little life raft of sorts

Surf music. Keeps you warm and cozy in the winter but when it's hot out you feel that's where you're supposed to be. Like cures for hiccups, imperfect logic in use, but seems to works if you play the record. Either way it brought the sun out today

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!
