Bob Marley & The Wailers - Easy Skanking In Boston '78

This record has flown under the radar since it's release. It's unlike any other live Bob. There's a whole lotta guitar on this one courtesy of Al Anderson and Junior Marvin. So good.

Day 13 - MONDAY THE 13TH

Tom Waits ‎– Bad As Me (Anti, 2017 Pressing)

This was a tricky one as I didnt know off hand an album with 13 tracks. I knew Tom Waits wouldnt let me down so I checked through until I came to this, and its a good one for sure!

johnny cash - american recordings

in some serendipity, there’s even a song on here called thirteen (a danzig cover). however, it is not the thirteenth track, which seems a missed opportunity.

Norah Jones - The Fall


This is an album that has 13 tracks. It also sounds fantastic and has puppies all over the front and back cover.

Hey @Mather - check out all the dogs Norah has. Way more than three...just sayin'

Catching up!
JULY 9
JUST GIVE IT TIME
An album that grew on you

The Clash - Combat Rock

I know it's pretty well regarded, but I could never get into this album until recently. I think aside from the singles it was never as "immediate" as some of their other work to me, and it took time for me to appreciate songs like Straight to Hell.

JULY 10
BON APPETIT
Play an album that makes you think of food

Fat Boys -- S/T

Considering that Jail House Rap is basically about going to jail for being too hungry... I think this one is pretty self-explanatory.

July 13: Monday the 13th

Norah Jones - Feels Like Home



Stealing @tvham's idea for this day. Going with the formidable follow up to the incredible Come Away With Me, with some country-inspired sounds infused.

I'm nearing the end of my challenge to play every album in my collection in 2020, so I went looking through the ones I still need to play until I found one with 13 tracks!

On the label?! I've never seen that before haha

There’s also one on a Hey Violet album I have (although that one only comes in a promo-like sleeve).

Day 13 - Lucky 13

I started with recent adds on my Discogs list and this was my most recent entry, checked it out and sure enough, 13 tracks....so yeah, lucky 13 indeed.

And I was born on a 13 so I've always liked that number.

Sven Wunder - Eastern Flowers

When there's nothing left to burn you have to set yourself on fire!

13 - 13

Finally scored this quintessential 90’s record thanks to my boo, @gaporter letting me know of the overseas repress. In fact, I had to break out the vacuum and get this one play ready it is so new to the collection.
