Day 06: Major Favorite Label Debut
Spin an artist’s first album for a major favorite recording label

I was kind of stumped on this one, so instead of going with Zep I, Sabbath, etc I went with a JDs first for New West. Not exactly a major label but a label I really, really like,

JD McPherson - Undivided Heart & Soul

Day 09: Soul Sister
Sister Rosetta Tharp died on this date 47 years ago. Spin something spiritual

Sister Rosetta Tharpe - Sister Rosetta Tharpe

In 1957 Rosetta Tharpe moved to Philadelphia and in 2008, The Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission approved the placement of a Historical Marker at her home. Turns out that's only about 1.5 miles from me, so on this beautiful first day of a four day weekend I took a walk. Up until 2009, Rosetta was buried in a North Philadelphia cemetery without a headstone. It took a benefit at a local venue to finally get something proper. That cemetery is fairly close to my office and I've been meaning to make the trek, but for today this will do.

I’m not a religious dude, but I love me some gospel funk & soul. I pulled out some 45s of Chicago gospel to spin today, and it’s reminded me that I need to rip some of these to digital. For now, here’s four sides that I found YouTube videos for.

It had been (and has been) years since I’ve stuck around to watch SNL late on a Saturday night, but this was my favorite record of that previous year and the performance did not disappoint.

 
Day 07: Long Live Media Mail
Spin the the most recent album delivered by your friendly postal carrier

While we were out of town our neighbor brought in ur mail and packages, so I returned to all three of these RSD releases on the kitchen table, not sure which came last.
