Tommy can you hear me?....

G-Man comment- Really want to listen to this whole album not on a computer speaker...Yvette's parent have record player and was even thinking of buying the vinyl...is the sound that much better?...

JohnnyK response -I'm not a vinyl snob; it's so much more convenient listening via iPod or even CD. I find it funny that people who grew up listening to rock n roll on transistor radios (and loved it) are so concerned with the nuances of audio 'warmth'.  Conversely, when I do listen to vinyl, I am not put off by a few hisses and pops in the record. It's only rock n roll.   However, I do think that when listening to jazz or classical music, the quality of the reproduced sound is more important.

What do YOU think? 


New Shelby Lynne
While you're contemplating this big issue, stream Shelby Lynne's new Revelation Road here.

Six degrees of separation:
1.Shelby Lynne is Allison Moorer's older sister.
2.Allison Moorer is married to Steve Earle
3.Steve Earle is the father of Justin Townes Earle
4.Justin Townes Earle nodded to Johnny K going downstairs to the bathroom at the Iron Horse Music Hall last month.
5.Johnny K used to know Johnny Gumbo pretty well until he up and moved to the Great NorthLeft and doesn't communicate anymore.
6.Johnny Gumbo used to hang with (maybe once) Kevin Bacon
