Vinyl Finds 1 (In Chicago)




I'm sorry I haven't updated the blog lately. I've been busy with work, including some business travel that landed me in Chicago for a few days.

During my visit, I had a chance to walk to Reckless Records. I was hoping to find a vinyl copy of Gaslight Anthem's latest but no such luck.

I did pick up two used albums though: a nice original copy of Joni Mitchell's Blue and an original copy of Dr. John's 1973 release In The Right Place.

Blue is just a classic. The 1971 release remains the quintessential singer-songwriter album. It includes "Carey," "California," and "River." Not a weak song in the bunch.

On In The Right Place, Dr. John is backed by The Meters. The album is also produced by Allen Touissant. Now, that can't be bad.
