tough day in the salt mine. what I pulled out.... Every Jesse Winchester I have. Buck Wheat (BW Stevenson) "We Be Sailin". Byrds Sweetheart Of The Rodeo. and the live Lucinda Williams At The Forum. I was Thinking about the David Ray compilation, maybe for Friday.

Pylon - Box Set. 
 

The best of the set is the raw Razz Tape disc. Don’t know how I missed these guys in the past - but they are my new obsession. I have no idea what they put in the water in Athens Georgia, but it’s been a constant hot spot for years. 

I know we’re I will start, at the beginning. Not sure where I will land….

@loomisjohnson Agree on the guitar playing on these albums

Anne Murray-A Country Collection Side 2

Ratt-Out Of The Cellar Side 1

Art Blakey-New York Scene(CJ 256) Side 2 SQ Audiophile

Neil Diamond-Primitive Side 1

Jackie Moore-I’m On My Way Side 1

Paul Davis-Cool Night Side 1

Leos Janacek-Sinfonietta(Denon OX-7110-ND) Side 1 SQ Audiophile

Tom Scott-Street Beat Side 2 SQ Audiophile

After cable switching/rotating my system SQ is vastly improving. Tough call between Scott/Janacek. Despite being slightly aggressive in SQ this overlooked jazz/fusion gem(Street Beat) takes the SQ crown. Another very solid Anne Murray recording that goes unnoticed by too many. "This Time Baby" one of the best disco singles!
