Vinyl Finds 3

I picked up a few more vinyl discs recently, including Gaslight Anthem's American Slang.
I got this one on the green/black vinyl from SideOneDummy Records. It's also available as a standard vinyl release.
It's a terrific album with a great classic rock sound. It's their best yet.

I also received a couple of albums that I ordered from Third Man Records, Jack White's label. First, there's Karen Elson's The Ghost Who Walks. Yeah, she's a model, and she's married to White, but don't hold that against her. She's put together a decent record that covers several styles. The title track has a spooky retro vibe while other songs have a strong country flavor. White plays drums on the album.

Not sure why but I also picked up Jon Wayne's Texas Funeral, a reissue on Third Man. You have to be in the right mood to listen to this cowboys-gone-punk release. It's funny, offensive, and rude, sometimes all at the same time. There's a song about a Middle Eastern gas station attendant and another about a Texas jail cell.

And, I'm just really digging Third Man these days. My local record store had a copy of The Raconteurs' The Consolers Of The Lonely. It's a beautifully packaged two-disc album, with old-style photographs of each of the band members included.

White's label is producing some of the nicest vinyl records around. Check out more at www.thirdmanrecords.com
