No real connection other than an admiration.
Either way, an esoteric listener such as yourself should have Uncle Tupelo and their children Wilco and Son Volt on your radar.
I like the cover.Finally getting round to listening to the last Anthology installment. Like them both. Think this is better than the second installment, but the first one remains my favourite. What I will say though is that the Akinmusire album cover is objectively awful. One of the reasons I've been putting off listening to the record is that the cover is so shit. Thankfully the music is much better.

I like the cover.
I thought it conveyed the idea of his emotions (I seem to remember a dedication to his kid(s)) and how he is centered by that youthful creativity.It's so cheap and nasty looking.
I would bet that most people who say they don’t have an audiophile’s ear just haven’t heard a good pressing. To be clear, even good pressings have defects. Once you get your hands on one though, you realize what the deal is...This is the most dangerous record I've played in a long time. I firmly believe I don't have an audiophile's ears but this - my first Tone Poet - just sounds so damn good. Grrr...

Yeah, I’ve been waiting on sleeves. I’ve depleted my just in case stash of poly lined inners that came with records... fortunately sleeves are finally on their wayFinally got my shipment of new sleeves so I was able to clean and spin my new arrivals from the last few weeks. First up are the final two from the Anthology.
