Trying to get into the Christmas spirit. Listening to The Old Crow Medicine Show’s Christmas album OCMS XMAS. A terrific Christmas album if you like old fashioned string band music or Americana.

Now playing the Black Friday RSD version of Son Volt’s Trace. A great mix of Americana and 90s indie rock. As pleasurable to listen to in 2025 as it was to listen to in 1995. A fantastic record.

Now playing the Rhino High Fidelity reissue of Pisces, Aquarius, Capricorn & Jones Ltd by The Monkees. The first time ever a record was cut using the original master tapes. Including the original 1967 version. Sounds amazing

Now playing Elvis As RecordedAt Madison Square Garden. Call me crazy but I far prefer 70s Elvis to younger 50s and 60s Elvis. This 1972 concert is Elvis at his finest.

Now playing the 50th anniversary remix of Deep Purple’s Machine Head. This version takes some bold choices but is a fresh take on this banger of a record. I highly recommend it

Now playing the new Rhino reissue of Paranoid by Black Sabbath. Has anyone heard this yet? It sounds so amazing. It’s a little pricey but I promise you it’s worth it.

Now playing some country rock from the great Flying Burrito Bros. Very under rated band. If you don’t know them yet give them a listen

Now playing The Rolling Stones 12X5. My Rolling Stones kick continues with their second U.S. album. Just great bluesy rollicking fun.

Now playing The Rolling Stones live album Get Yer Ya-yas Out. It makes me sad I’ll probably never get to see them play live. Not paying those ticket prices. It really makes me sad I don’t have access to a time machine so I can see them in their prime

Now playing the 1979 audiophile pressing by Mobile Fidelity of Cat Steven’s Tea For the Tillerman. I’ve never splurged on one of these audiophile records before, but I have to say it does sound amazing

I swung by the childhood home of John Prine awhile ago. You can find the address online if you’re interested. It’s in the Chicago suburb of Maywood, IL. Not sure if the new owner even knows John Prine lives there so maybe give them some privacy. Here’s a pic a took

Now playing John Prine’s debut self titled album. What a fantastic country album. Funny at times, heart wrenching at other times. Perfection!!!

Now playing a near mint first pressing of Ray Charles’ Greatest Hits. At least his greatest hits when this came out in 1962. Picked this one for $20. Remember to check out your local record shops. Alway good finds waiting to be discovered

Now playing Lucinda Williams’ 1988 self titled album. One of my favorite Americana albums by far. Brilliant song writing, gritty yet beautiful vocals and backed up by an amazing band. A must have if you love Americana. #nowplaying #vinyl #vinylcommunity #blueskymusic

Saw Son Volt last night at Fitzgerald’s Night Club in Berwyn, IL. The guys sound exactly like they did back in the day. Amazing show. If you can check them out. #blueskymusic #sonvolt #music #fitzgeralds #livemusic

Now playing Maggot Brain by Funkadelic. Is Eddie Hazel’s extended guitar solo on Maggot Brain the greatest of all time? A good case can be made . It’s definitely in the top ten. Simply amazing. #nowplaying #vinyl #vinylcommunity

Took a chance at my local record store on the John Mayall record USA Union. John Mayall is a name I alway heard but don’t really know anything about. Saw this for $5.00 and thought I’d give it a try. I do like that it comes with advice how to stop pollution.

Now playing Blood Sweat and Tears Greatest Hits. I usually don’t go for greatest hits compilations but when the collection of songs are this strong and amazing you got to.

Now playing the amazing reissue of Tracy Chapman’s self titled debut album.

But to be honest all the songs are pretty great

Now playing a fantastic blue grass album. If you don’t know Billy Strings do yourself a favor and give him a listen. His new album Highway Prayers is amazing, but all his albums are great if you want to get into bluegrass #nowplaying #vinyl #vinylcommunity #bluegrass
