Vinyl Me Please (store, exclusives, swaps, etc)

@TenderLovingKillerĀ® - Orville Peck is a great artist and Iā€™m very happy heā€™s super popular (I remember he did two sold out shows in Melbourne earlier this year and the both shows had a venue upgrade due to demand). I like the simple guitar playing in ā€œNo Glory In The Westā€ but I donā€™t like the vocals on the song and I donā€™t like the progression of the song vocally too. I feel bad but Iā€™ve listened to the track 4-5 times and itā€™s just not for me. And I think itā€™s the vocals mainly that really put me off.

Summertime is a much better song šŸŽµ albeit a cover. You should check it out before writing Orville Peck šŸ¤  off.

Hey @NathanRicaud - if you're looking for more country you may like.

THIS!

One of the best songwriters alive.

I saw recently that this Lori McKenna album is your favourite Country album of 2020 so far! This album is very faithfully country, and I just couldnā€™t get into this at all unfortunately. Her album has that homegrown, stereo-typical country sound that I just canā€™t get into at all.

Patsy Cline I really enjoy though, but she doesnā€™t have that sound in her music at all! Her music has a lot of blues guitar, a bit of a doo-wop/soul sound as well and Patsy Clineā€™s voice is so rich, deep and soulful. And I love jolly tracks such ā€œWalkinā€™ after Midnightā€ with the blues guitar and swinging, assertive vocals!

I think there needs to be a bit of a crossover for me. Like Willie Nelsonā€™s Stardust was a crossover of pop, soul & blues. Loretta Lynn Coal Minerā€™e Daughter I enjoyed because Lorettaā€™s vocals are somber, and have a cabaret quality to them on that release. The music feels a bit vintage with a modern touch and I like the guitar playing on the release a lot too. Dolly Parton I just had to buy because of those two iconic tracks; I Will Always Love You & Jolene. I did enjoy the album though! Itā€™s sweet and the vocals are very passionate.

It looks so beautiful! I want a copy of it even though Iā€™m getting the Wax Buyers Club variant; which also actually looks stunning! But this VMP mock-up is the best looking one (if it actually ends up looking like this)! Iā€™m excited to see people posting their copies on Reddit! šŸ˜‚šŸ‘€

I just canā€™t with Country. I canā€™t force myself but it just really isnā€™t for me unless itā€™s Patsy Cline or Max DeMarco or Stardust by Willie Nelson! Iā€™m not even a fan of At Folsom Prison by Johnny Cash. Thatā€™s my music taste...itā€™s very non-country. Iā€™m trying but just canā€™t...šŸ™ˆšŸ˜¶

PS - I didnā€™t enjoy the Orville Peck song. I canā€™t even critique it because that sound just isnā€™t for me at all...

Fair enough try this on for size šŸ¤ šŸŒˆšŸ³ļøā€šŸŒˆā¤šŸ§”šŸ’›šŸ’ššŸ’™šŸ’œ Hee-haw!
 
My mom introduced me to good country music by blaring this song in the car and singing along:
Definitely a regular on my playlists today. I probably should get explore some more ā€œoutlaw countryā€

Havenā€™t checked out yet, but thereā€™s 17 copies left of Whitney Houston, so Iā€™m safe! Iā€™m definitely buying the Afro-Peruvian Classics, and The Bar-Kaysā€™ Cold Blooded! Iā€™m also going to add the AP pressing of Willie Nelsonā€™s Stardust!

Iā€™m just listening to Salt-N-Pepaā€™s Black Magic! I think Iā€™m going to get it, but am just re-visiting it! I know the pressing is going to sound amazing like the Salt-N-Pepa ROTM! Itā€™s 45RPM as well, which is awesome! I love the singles from the album too! The production on that album is pretty good actually!

I kind of also want to get the Gabriel Garzon too but I think the colour variant is a bit underwhelming! I like the two singles from that album so far, but think Iā€™ll just wait until the album fully gets released!

Seriously Nathan, just tell us which VMP records you don't end up getting :D

I've heard a lot of people compare Orville Peck's voice to Morrissey, I don't know Orville's music well enough to judge the accuracy of that but would you say that comparison is fair? If so, do you like the Smiths?

I love The Smiths Gap! I find Morrisseyā€™s voice quite different to Orville Peckā€™s voice. Orville Peckā€™s voice is way more twangy, deep and really has that outlaw sound in comparison. Totally different for me!

Orville Peck's vocals sounds more like a cross between Roy Orbison and Chris Issak to me but can also channel Waylon Jennings and Johnny Cash on certain songs such as "No Glory in the West".
