Black Friday Record Store Day Haul

@mofimadness: Agree about McKee! Sort of her generation’s Linda Ronstadt, a very powerful singer. Really cute, too. ;-) I saw Lone Justice live when the debut was released (at The Roxy Theater on Sunset), and she was also great on stage. Did you know her older brother was a member of the group Love?

@thepigdog: Wow, thanks a million! I'll send you a PM to arrange---Eric.

I went back and picked up the Johnnie Johnson (Chuck Berry's pianist, this album produced by Keith Richards, with NRBQ members playing on the album), Leonard Cohen, and various artists Americana Railroad titles. The Little Feat was sold out, gotta find it online. Anyone seen it for sale anywhere?

Last year I went and stood in line at Music Millennium at five in the morning. A week later they still had stock on most titles.

This year I didn’t go in until early afternoon, and there were still a lot of copies of all titles save one: the Chris Isaak Sun Records tribute album. Only one left, so I nabbed it. I’ll pick up a coupla others (the train song album, maybe the Johnnie Johnson, San Cooke, and live Little Feat) later.

MM also had Lucinda’s Funny How Time Slips Away (Lu’s Jukebox Volume 4) on sale for $14.99! I also found the debut by Lone Justice in Mint condition for five bucks. The excellent drummer on that first album---Don Heffington (later heard on albums by Buddy Miller and Van Dyke Parks)---died this past March, same age as I. It's weird to know you are in all likelihood in the final decade of your life.

It’s a great time to be an LP lover/buyer, ain’t it?
