Got out some live albums today.
One is known about because Jerry Garcia plays on it, but Peter Rowan is the star of the show. Another is known about because Bill Evans plays on it, but Scott LaFaro steals the show. The third is Mark III Deep Purple for when you don't feel like hearing Highway Star for the fourteenth time.

The Wondering Boy by Webb Pierce
More of a compilation of his singles than an album, this gives you a great look at his career. Included here is one of his biggest hits "There Stands the Glass" that spent 12 weeks at #1 on the country charts in 1953. There really isn't a weak track here.

My look at REM is back with an album that I don't really know anything about.
Lifes Rich Pageant by R.E.M.
Begin the Begin sounds... rollicking? I'm not sure I've used that adjective to describe and REM song before. These Days is actually more fast paced; it's like they're that they're not going to be dreary anymore. In fact, all of side one maintains the same pace, you're almost straining to make sure you don't miss anything. If Murmur is the night wrapped up in fog, then this is the day with unlimited visibility. I almost laughed out loud when Underneath the Bunker came on; feels like an outtake from a Camper Van Beethoven record but here it serves as an intermission.
And then a phone call interrupted me, so I'll listen to the second half tomorrow.

Hank Williams As Luke The Drifter
I did manage to listen to another album while I was working from home today. Luke the Drifter is Hank Williams' alter ego that sings about all the things that Hank couldn't; cautionary tales about judging other people and treating women with respect. It speaks to how popular Hank was that the record company would allow him to create music that had no business in a jukebox. Definitely worth a listen.

Thank you! Colorful labels are one of the reasons I love vinyl so much so it only makes sense to show them off whenever possible.
Here are a couple of more albums that I played tonight.
Memorial Album by Hank Williams
Hank died in 1951 and by 1953 MGM was releasing this package of hits in every different way they could in order to cash in. We're talking 78s, 7"ers and 10"ers. So of course when LPs started to take off in 1955 MGM decided to add four more tracks to the package to get people to shell out for the same music they'd bought 18 months earlier. Between this and Luke these are the only two Hank records I'll ever need.
At Carnegie Hall by Thelonious Monk Qua...n Coltrane
Speaking of cashing in, this is a 60th anniversary release of a concert form 11/29/57 that was originally released in 2005 on the extra fancy Mosaic label. This pressing is good enough for me and man, the music is top shelf.
We're actually listening to this while watching figure skating and imagining that the ladies programs are choreographed to Coltrane's solos. We do have our fun.
