Spinnin' the latest from Reverend Peyton's Big Damn Band. Gospel-fueled, be-devil-riddled, gut-stirrin’, finger pickin’, open-tunin’, slide-driv’n, steamy front-porch raw rural blues set through a 21st century lens. My listening report on eCoustics (dot com). #musicsky #music #bluesmusic #vinyl

Spinning the recent Verve/Acoustic Sounds remaster of the legendary 1964 "Getz/Gilberto" LP with changed ears after hearing the new Impex SACD w/ Grundman AAA remaster & new Plangent Processes restoration. Significant improvement. My comparative listening report on eCoustics. #musicsky #jazzsky

Soft landing into hump day (after oversleeping!) with Wes Montgomery's 1960 Riverside Records masterpiece. Sounds so good that I'll be purging my SACD & maybe even the '80s Mono OJC copies. My review of this near-perfect Craft/OJC Stereo reissue on eCoustics (dot com). #musicsky #jazzsky #jazz

Spinning the wonderful new 1st complete official soundtrack to 1975's "You're A Good Sport, Charlie Brown" by Vince Guaraldi. This 45 RPM zoetrope disc (a Peanuts first) actually sounds very good! My review on ecoustics (dot com). Fun album! Loads of funky synthesizer textures. #musicsky #jazzsky
