A new series listening through my parents' vinyl collections. Featuring: Willie Nelson, Kenny Rogers, J. Geils Band, Crosby Stills & Nash, Rod Stewart, B.B. King, and a short discourse on moonshine
Great idea for a series! There is definitely something magical about the "experience" of vinyl; I'm sure we could point to all sorts of things, but really it's just...nice. I dunno.
At any rate, that J Geils record is awesome! A few months back I finally picked up a copy., it's got a lotta miles on it, bit I'd expect nothing less from such a solid release.
Also: I'm gonna carbon date myself here, but "Centerfold" was one of the first rock songs I ever heard. before I started school, it was a world I didn't know existed.
Thanks Kevin! It's been fun, but the biggest challenge is no longer being able to make fun of my parents' taste in music because it turns out they've got some pretty awesome stuff
But rest assured there are a few key albums in here that I will be forced to make fun of (sneak preview: Jane Fonda's Workout Album might make an appearance)
Love this! I’m Harrison, an ex fine dining line cook. My stack "The Secret Ingredient" adapts hit restaurant recipes (mostly NYC and L.A.) for easy home cooking.
I agree! I'll have to grow past the natural instinct of every kid to make fun of the parents and start admitting that their collection is pretty cool...
I get a kick out of someone experiencing music I've loved my whole life for the first time. Sometimes I'd love to be able to go back and be introduced to albums like 'Stardust' and 'EPTaS' again. This is the next best thing.
It certainly is fun! I don't know how I would have discovered albums like these any other way, to be honest. There for sure isn't any algorithm out there that would have found "Stardust" for me, and that would have been a shame
