Silkroad Ensemble w/Rhiannon Giddens- American Railroad
George Harrison- Living In The Material World (Alternates)

Carly Simon- No Secrets (Kevin Gray Master)

Silverlites- S/T
(I had a really hard paying attention to the music when my mind was almost completely focused on Joseph Arthur's anti-COVID-vax stance and his relentless distribution of false and harmful info. I wish I felt differently. Record sounded like something I might have enjoyed otherwise.)

Jefferson Airplane- Surrealistic Pillow (Kevin Gray MONO Master)

St. Vincent- Todos Nacen Gritando
(Spanish language version of "All Born Screaming." Very effective. I think I love it more now.)

11/15/24

Silkroad Ensemble w/Rhiannon Giddens- American Railroad
(I had an idea of what this would sound like, but I had no idea how hard I would fall. Wow. This was stunning! I did not want it to end.)

Jon Batiste- Beethoven Blues
(Another winner.)

Judy Mowatt- Black Woman
(Hard to find a better reggae record.)

The Kinks- BW's Great Lost Kinks Compilation
(Recently compiled. Giving it a test run now.)

John Cale- Paris 1919 (2024 Remaster & Bonus LP Of Outtakes and Unreleased)
(This is a pretty stellar reissue of an all time favorite. Fantastic remastering and interesting bonus tracks, though not sure why a newly recorded track needed to be here. It sounds like something off his last record and definitely out of place.)

Todd Rundgren- Arena
(First time on vinyl for this, one of my 10 faves from Todd. Nice pressing, too. It's the little things.)
