Day 16: “Born in the USA”- records by artists from the ...USA.
There's so many choices. So we're not only going to go with an artist from my home country, she also places the country in the album name and two of the songs. Never need a reason to re-visit Margo Price but I'll take the invite today
Margo Price - All American Made

Day 15:”Holiday”- thanks to Covid 19 canceling my hols, this is as close as I will get ...records about travel
Ok, so this record isn't about travel. But we had three vacations planned in Michigan this year, and two of them melted down due to Covid. Happy to say the third is still scheduled though, a roadtrip to the UP in October!

Day 16: Born in the USA
I originally thought of playing Springsteen’s “Born to Run”, but in the end I decided on something less obvious...
The Edgar Winter Group - They Only Come Out At Night

I wanted to subvert this all kinda of ways but in the end decided some Tejano music would get the same feeling of satisfaction for me.

Day 16: Born In the USA
Being from the US wasn't as big of a deal with Dio replacing Ozzy in Black Sabbath...it was his height. Manager Don Arden didn't want him fronting Sabbath because he was too short....they fired him as their manager and kept Dio.
Sabbath at the time wasn't all that good with Technical Ecstasy and Never Say Die being the last 2 Ozzy albums, the Dio albums were kind of a resurgence for fans of Sabbath.
Dio – Dream Evil

Day 17 - Fab 4(th) - a couple of hours early
Perfect name for today (tomorrow). I think Mac (Ian, not Paul) would say Echo & The Bunnymen are the best band from Liverpool. There are also 4 members of the band and it is their 4th record. (fun fact, Echo was the name of their drum machine before Pete De Freitas joined) I had the good fortune to see them on this tour and it was amazing. Also saw them a few years ago performing this in its entirety, but sadly Ian's voice is no where near as strong as it was in the 80s.

The epitome of Yatch Rock! Nothing better than sitting back on a beach or on a boat, relaxing to this with a drink in hand

Sufjan Stevens - Michigan
Surprised no one went with Sufjan and one of "50 state album project" albums. Seemed like such an obvious choice I was afraid I wouldnt be able to play it!

Day 17: “Fab Four”- Make or break time ..those bands that reached the 4th album ..play album number 4 or IV.
Hop Along – Bark Your Head Off, Dog
This is Hop Along’s fourth and most current album. They really hit their stride with this one, and man, they put on a hell of a live show when I saw them in a small venue touring for this release. Terrific musicians, and there isn’t much that needs to be said about Frances Quinlan—but fun fact, Hop Along’s drummer is her brother, Mark Quinlan, and he’s fantastic.
This album has one of the greatest lines ever about ending a relationship. I don’t even know exactly what facet of the relationship she’s referring to, and it doesn’t matter, because the line so perfectly encapsulates it’s ending: “Don’t worry, we will both find out, just not together.” (Yeah, I know, this falls really flat here, but trust me, it’s a gut-punch as it becomes the centerpiece for the song. [Video below.])
If you’re a Frances Quinlan fan and you haven’t seen this video, enjoy!
And here’s a brief video clip from their show:

Day 17: “Fab Four”
I ordered this back on Day 12, as I need some Parliament funk in my life. It wasn't what I had planned for today, but as I was getting ready to play it tonight I saw it was their 4th album.
This reissue had the lenticular cover, but was barely hanging on with the 2 dollops of glue, so I removed it.
Parliament – Mothership Connection
Casablanca/Republic Records/UMe – B0022994-01, 1975/2015
Pressed at RTI
This was also shipped via UPS from Amazon in a thin paper packaging that had very minimal padding...I was shocked it survived.

Glad I'm not the only one shooting for open goal.
My original choice was Stone Temple Pilots – Nº4
