Red Norvo - The Forward Look

Reference Recordings 45 RPM LP

Another top notch recording from Professor Keith Johnson.

While I have the 45 RPM version I unfortunately have never been able to put my hands on a UHQR pressing of this album.  :(

The Badlees - River Songs

A "why not" Amazon purchase for 1¢ plus $3.99 shipping!  Kind of like Hootie and the Blowfish with a dash of Lou Reed!

The Plastic Thirds - Anoxia

Another "bargain bin" find.  So obscure, I can't even find an image on the internet! 

I don't even know if the name of the band is The Plastic Thirds - or - Anoxia !?! :duh

Kind of a "darker than normal" Dave Matthews Band with a little splash of Peter Gabriel for good measure.

I used to play that one loud on Halloween night. Easier than decorating the outside. The trick or treaters were not impressed.

Jars of Clay - If I left the Zoo

Another "bargain bin" find.  Believe it or not, they're Christian Rock!  I just like the music for the music's sake.  

I can't even think of a comparison for them.  Maybe a little harder , slightly less twangy version of the Jayhawks...???

Yes, Tom.  Luckily, I don't log on often... but when I do, it's usually for a half a dozen titles, sometimes more! :roll:
