This was the follow up to Shotgun Willie, and was a commercial and critical breakthrough as Nelson moved away from RCA (with two albums on Atlantic in between)…
I had always thought that “Always on My Mind” was a much older song than 1982 – and it turns out it is. It was recorded by Brenda…
You don’t often find Leonard Cohen LPs in record stores as people tend to hold on to them to the end. Even if you haven’t had a turntable…
Recorded in Nashville, this is Costello’s covers album of country greats – including Hank Williams and George Jones. I love Costello in his Americana / roots / country…
Joe Zawinul, Wayne Shorter, Miroslav Vitous, Eric Gravatt, and guests, in a foundational fusion album from the early 70s. This was their second album after a self-titled debut….
A happy and accidental find at Academy Records in New York. Ulmer had played on several Ornette Coleman releases before going out on his own – this was…
My copy (via Beverly Coin & Jewel) is a later reissue – the red and gold Columbia labels from the seventies rather than the “2 eye” version in…
Makes sense following Llewyn Davis and Billy Bragg to have an early Dylan album – definitely one of my favorites and an iconic cover. This is from the…

This was actually one of the first Dylan albums I heard end to end, so I was glad to find a good copy at Looney Tunes II in…
Her massive debut album, originally released in 2008. My copy is a later reissue but I’m not sure what year it was issued. Included the hit “Chasing Pavements”…
Harmony was Columbia’s “budget” label, first from 1925-1931, but then revived in 1957 into the mid-seventies. While some of the budget labels from that time created poor quality…
Second LP from San Francisco based Translator, most well known for the single “Everywhere That I’m Not” (which was on their debut album in ’82). “Un-Alone” is probably…
Second full length from Bromberg. Love the version of Mr. Bojangles here maybe even more than Jerry Jeff Walker’s original. Also a great version of Tennessee Waltz. With…
Hancock with Ron Carter on Bass, Tony Williams on Drums, and Wynton Marsalis on Trumpet – recorded in 1981 at CBS Sony Studios in Tokyo. Great versions of…
Produced by Bob Johnston, liner notes by Johnny Cash – Dylan plays here with Nashville musicians including Bob Wilson, Charlie Daniels, Charlie McCoy, Kenny Buttrey, Norman Blake, and…
