    Chris Stapleton, From A Room: Vol 1., 2017 on Mercury Nashville

    Stapleton was a fairly successful Nashville based songwriter for more than a decade before his 2015 debut LP Traveller, as well as fronting a bluegrass band (The Steeldrivers) and a southern rock band (The Jompson Brothers). Ironically his big hit - "Tennessee Whiskey" is a cover of a David Allen Coe song (written by Dean Dillon and Linda Hargrove). Live from A Room (not just any old room, but Nashville's RCA Studio A) was his follow up / sophomore album, produced by Dave Cobb and Stapleton […]

    Bill Callahan, Shepherd In A Sheepskin Vest, 2019 on Drag City

    Bill Callahan's sixth studio album under his own name (he previously led a project under the name Smog), recorded at Wonder Chamber in Austin Texas, which is Brian Beattie's home studio. Beattie plays on the record along with Matt Kinsey, Adam Jones, Gary Newcomb, and Callahan. Callahan is a consistent and prolific artist - maybe he's not for everyone, but I could just put his whole catalog on for weeks at a time. Still looking for many of his earlier releases as they don't show up often in […]

    Regina Spektor; Home, Before and After; 2022 on Sire

    I was a bit obsessed with Soviet Kitsch, Spektor's major label debut, when it came out in 2004 via Sire (she'd previously self-released it), as well as Begin to Hope which included the song "Samson". This is Spektor's eighth full-length album and her sixth for Sire. It was produced by John Congleton (along with Spektor herself) who also joins on multiple instruments in different tracks. It's not as fresh as here sound was in the early aughts but she sounds great and I think her songwriting […]

    Sonny Terry & Brownie McGhee, Sonny & Brownie, 1973 on A&M

    Not to be confused with the earlier Sonny Terry & Brownie McGhee album on Fantasy records, Sonny & Brownie was recorded in the early 70s at Paramount in LA and released in 1973 by A&M. Great 2xLP collection, including covers of Randy Newman's "Sail Away" and Michael Franks' "You Bring Out the Boogie in Me" as well as originals and blues standards. Guest musicians include Arlo Guthrie, Michael Franks, and John Mayall, reflecting their stature by the early 70s as blues men. My copy—via […]

    The Connection, 7 Nights to Rock, 2013 on King Yum Records

    This may actually be called Connection Collection Vol 1 - there's no real title on the cover or the labels but that's what it is currently called on Bandcamp (which also says it came out in 2012). But the "one sheet" for the release I found on Facebook (see below) calls it "7 Nights to Rock" as "their King Yum Records debut EP." Either way it is great rock / power pop from Geoff Palmer, Brad Marino and others. British influenced but also very underground/garage rock. My copy—via Salem […]

    Neil Young, The Times, 2020 on Reprise

    Live recordings from Fireside Sessions at home, released in 2020 on CD and 2021 on vinyl. Includes "Alabama," "Ohio," and "Southern Man" as well as a cover of "The Times They Are A-Changing'." All just Neil himself with acoustic guitar. My copy—via Residency Records in Salem MA—is the US edition pressed at GZ Media.

    Steve Earle, Townes, 2009 on New West Records

    Steve Earle tribute to Townes Van Zandt, with guests including Tom Morello (on "Lungs"), Allison Moorer (married to Earle at the time), and son Justin Townes Earle (who's middle name of course was inspired by Van Zanndt). A companion record, Townes (The Basics), was released for Record Store Day in 2021. Earle's done a number of tribute albums: Guy, Jerry Jeff, and J.T. as well as this one. My copy—via Residency Records in Salem MA—is a limited edition reissue from 2021 on clear […]

    David Bowie, Hunky Dory, 1971 on RCA Victor

    Bowie's fourth full-length studio LP and one of my all-time favorites. This followed The Man Who Sold the World but all these early Bowie albums are so great they sound to me like they have just always existed. It can be hard to find decent early pressings of these but there have been many great reissues, including this one from a digital remastering done in 2015. Bowie is joined here by Mick Ronson, Woody Woodmansey, Trevor Bolder, and Rick Wakeman on piano. Purportedly Wakeman was asked […]

    Various Artists, The Vinyl Series Volume One, 2021 on Island

    Great collection of Reggae / Ska / Rocksteady singles from the early days of Island Records, said to be hand-picked by label founder Chris Blackwell. There's already been a Volume Two and Volume Three (going into the 70s) - not sure if there will be more or not. Somewhat idiosyncratically includes The Spencer Davis Group alongside Toots & The Maytals, Desmond Dekker & The Aces, and The Soul Sisters - but it makes sense in the context of the original releases which also stood side by side at […]

    The Cars, Panorama, 1980 on Elektra

    This was the third studio LP from Boston band The Cars, situated between Candy-O and Shake It Up. Includes "Touch and Go." An underappreciated album in The Cars' discography: seen by critics as a let down and not as commercial successful as the one before or after. I like it though - more experimental, more ambitious - trying on different sounds. Sort of an alternate universe in which they went more alternative. Not the first Cars LP you should buy, but worth being in your collection if […]

    Leo Kottke, 6-and 12-String Guitar, 1969 on Takoma

    Kottke's second album, following 12-String Blues, and what would become reportedly the best-selling LP on John Fahey's Takoma Records. Writing his own liner notes, Kottke writes "All that is left to be said is that Kottke's voice does not appear on this album. His guitar does." My copy—via Salem Flea Marketplace—has the gold and tan "two dragons" Takoma labels, and is likely a repress circa 1972.

    Leo Kottke, 6-and 12-String Guitar, 1969 on Takoma

    Kottke's second album, following 12-String Blues, and what would become reportedly the best-selling LP on John Fahey's Takoma Records. Writing his own liner notes, Kottke writes "All that is left to be said is that Kottke's voice does not appear on this album. His guitar does."

    Norah Jones, Day Breaks, 2016 on Blue Note

    Sixth studio album from Norah Jones, and the only one so far I've managed to locate on vinyl (I've been looking). Produced by Eli Wolf and Jones, and recorded in Brooklyn, this LP has Jones going back to the piano driven vocal-centric approach of Come Away With Me. Wayne Shorter shows up on four songs playing soprano sax. Includes a great cover of Neil Young's "Don't Be Denied" as well as Horace Silver's "Peace" and Duke Ellington's "Fleurette Africaine." My copy—via the Record […]

    The Grateful Dead, Aoxomoxoa, 1969 on Warner Bros

    This was the third studio LP from The Grateful Dead, and was one of the first albums recorded in 16 tracks on an Ampex MM-1000. It was remixed by Garcia and Lesh in 1971. “China Cat Sunflower” and “St. Stephen” remain among my favorite Dead tunes, though I find it hard to get through “What’s Become Of the Baby.”

    My copy—via Salem Flea Marketplace—is a 1971 Terre Haute pressing, with the 1971 remix, on green labels but with the W7 logo on the jacket. I’m still on the hunt for a 1969 issue. (It was included in the Warner Bros. Studio Albums box set, and was put on CD in 2019 by Rhino but not vinyl).
