Latest cache (for little cash)....

  • The Essential Sly & the Family Stone (Sly & the Family Stone)- Nobody mixed pop and funk like Sly; two-disk set featuring 35 songs
  • Murmur (R.E.M.)- Early REM stuff
  • Wrong-eyed Jesus! (Jim White)- Saw Jim at the Newport Folk Festival a couple years ago with Wild Willie Taylor and the Cottons and was blown away by him. Truly unique performer. He came out looking like a misplaced trucker and played a brand of country blues that was funny, sarcastic, and angst-filled all at the same time.
  • Rastaman Vibration (Bob Marley & the Wailers)- Replaces my LP version; I like it immensely even if he was a little more 'commercial' with this offering according to the critics.
  • John Wesley Harding (Bob Dylan)- G-man wanted to hear my LP version, but we can't get the damn turntable to cooperate. So I found him a CD copy.
