The Collection Playthrough
So I'm caught up, I think? So a mix of weekly play / fresh grabs
077 - Billy Strings - Home
This was an N&G hype special, really top tier jamming bluegrass (I guess? Not sure genre wise). A really cool listen, though the re-sale prices on this one may win out over time.
078 - Brandi Carlile - The Story
Stone cold classic that they took their sweet darn time repressing. Glad this one is at least a little more available now.
079 - Shakey Graves - Roll The Bones X.
OK, so this one fascinates me. I am not a big Shakey Graves fan per se, and this was a record club selection. This thing really hit me well though. There is a really nice Springsteen cover on it and the originals have aged well. This is also what I think of in terms of a great "value add" type of release. 2 gorgeous LPs (the gold/black color scheme is an absolute stunner in person), a full on booklet on the inside with a lot of his history and process of building the album, and a really nice overall package. And this is the MRC release people are itching to trade off. Go figure.
080 - Lorde - Melodrama
One of my favorite albums of the 2010s, and arguably the best overall pop release. This was one of those that got "fixed" with a TT upgrade. However, like with Billy, given that the Deluxe is going for absurd amounts, I may end up selling this one and downgrading to a black copy at some point.
081 - Various Artists - Forrest Gump (OST)
One of the greatest "big song" soundtracks ever. I mean, this kind of built my knowledge base of classic rock in my teens. Huge sentimental favorite
082 - Joni Mitchell - Blue.
OK I listened to a lot of good stuff here.
