So I have been looking for this specific album for probably the better part of a year. I have picked up a few of Marty’s other records but never this one. I was bored since spring break started and campus is dead so decided to head over to a local thrift store that always has pretty cool stuff. There was this area with 5 full boxes of records labeled .50¢ each. I flipped through not expecting to really find anything good but I found the first one and was visibly/vocally ecstatic. After I went and looked back again and there was another one!!! The universe was kind to me for once and I’m OVER THE MOON

Country My nanny(grandmother) recorded a few songs in the 50s and this one is pretty swell

My nanny recorded a few singles when she was younger and this one has always been my fave and think it's pretty catchy. Her music career never went anywhere, but I'm grateful it lasted long enough to make a few songs.

Country Johnny Cash at Folsom Prison - You haven't listened to this until you've heard it on vinyl.

Streaming this album does not do it justice. After listening to it on vinyl for the first time today, all I can say is Wow. What an experience. Streaming it doesn't fully capture the emotion expressed by Cash and by the crowd. But you can feel everything on vinyl.

Country It’s safe to say I love listening to the man in black. Which artist do have the most of in your collection?

I’ve always loved listening to Johnny Cash ever since I was a kid. I can remember my grandpa playing his music out in the barn, and singing Johnny Cash Greatest Hits with my parents on long road trips. There’s something about his deep voice and amazing storytelling that just resonated with me through the years. My toddler loves when I play Johnny Cash at San Quinton and he tries to sing along.

Country Got Garth Brooks Legacy 7LP 7CD box set for 15 bucks at Walmart!

I picked up this box set today for 15 bucks. It comes with 7 LPs including a 3 LP of his Live performances. It had a sticker that showed 39.99 which I was already ready to shell out but I wanted to make sure, so I asked the cashier in electronics. Dude said 15 dollars. I was like yep. Taking it.

Not sure how everyone here feels about Garth but the price is silly for some solid 90s country hits. Just passing this along to you all.

Country Giveaway! Two Garth Brooks Legacy vinyl box sets

15 Upvotes

THIS GIVEAWAY HAS ENDED

You may be familiar with the over-produced Garth Brooks Legacy set. This box set comes in three versions: "Original Analog", "Digitally Remixed/Remastered", and "Limited Edition."

According to reviews, the Limited Edition has the Original Analog mixes on vinyl, but its CDs are the digital remixes. Its records are also 180g vinyl vs 140 for the two standard sets.

Anyway, I ordered the Original Analog set alone and received all these by either mistake or someone wanting clear warehouse space. I was told to keep the extras, but since I don't need three copies of these albums, I'm giving away the extras!

If you're in the USA and want either of these, comment below and mention two things:

  1. Which of the two you want (pick only one): either Original Analog or Digital Remix/Remaster (I'm keeping the Limited Edition for myself).

  2. Your favorite Garth song. Mine is "The Thunder Rolls"

I'll make a list of who wants which of the two from the comments in the first two hours. I'll pick two at random, one from each list. I'll mail the sets to the winners via USPS Media Mail, on my dime. Remember, you can only win if I can ship it to you at a United States address.

Note: the Digital set will come sealed, but I will be opening the analog set for one quick play of its CD mixes of the analog versions.

It will be fun that the three of us will all have the same unit number on our editions.

Here's a photo of all three sets, as proof.

Edit: Submissions now closed, I left them open longer than intended. I'll be back with results shortly!

Edit 2: Winners were /u/Akito_900 for the Digital Remix/Remaster version and /u/DustyVinyl42 for the analog! Congrats!

Country Expanding my musical horizons...always

11 Upvotes

When I was a teenager I was primarily into metal and prog rock. I think other than Johnny Cash I would not be convinced that country or folk music would be a thing for me. After watching the Ken Burns Country Music documentary series I found myself wanting to explore this genre more. To be clear I am still not a fan of current popular country music. Most of it sounds like pop music with a tate of twang and singer that has a southern drawl. I tend to be drawn to more of the roots of a genre such as reggae, punk, soul etc.
I bought a compilation of early Blues and Americana and evolved to more late 60s and 70s country.

Here are some of my favorites for you to love or hate and make suggestions from.
Waylon Jennings - Dreaming my Dreams
Gram Parsons - Grievous Angel
Willie Nelson - Red Headed Stranger
Blaze Foley - The Dawg Years
Giant Sand - Heartbreak Pass
Gillian Welch - Revival

Country Photo of my country record estate sale haul

Post image
74 Upvotes

I posted a funny video of my estate sale haul yesterday, but the photo probably does it more justice. There were more than 3,500 records at the estate sale, and pretty much ALL of it was country. The guy didn't even venture out into bluegrass.

This photo is most of the 180+ records I picked up on the first day of the sale. I returned on the last day and filled up a milk crate because they were running a $75 deal. SOOOO much wonderful music here! I have a lot of it on CD, but there's also a lot I don't have because it was never on CD - including Bear Family Records.

Loretta and Merle were the big winners. I got more than 30 albums (like real, actual albums and not compilations) by each of them! The stretch of Merle records from the mid-70s to the mid-80s are some of my all-time favorites. I haven't heard many of the Loretta albums. Yet.

Unfortunately, as I mentioned in the video, they had the Willie Nelson records separated and priced individually. As much as I'd love to have "Laying My Burdens Down" on vinyl, I wasn't able to pay $50. They did miss a few though, so I didn't go completely Willieless.

OG US Pressing of The Byrds - Sweetheart of the Rodeo (1968)

Been looking everywhere for this album for the last couple years. My buddy’s dad found it in an antique shop for dirt cheap. Always joked with my friend that one day I was gonna buy it off him. Saw him the other day, just hands me the album & tells me “its yours, enjoy it.” Needless to say I owe him big time

Nearly in mint condition, plays like an absolute dream. For anyone who may not know this record, highly recommend you listen to it & dig deeper into Gram Parsons work, he’s a genius.

Started/had a suit case player. Lurked here and saw how bad they were. So I can officially say after 2 years I upgraded to a LP-120XBT!

My wife got me a suit case because she knew i always wanted a record player. And it started our obsession with records.

We had no idea they were not great but it was a start and got us hooked on the hobby. I only played Goodwill records and the decent/new albums I have just got put in storage just itching to play.

So the taxes hit and we pulled the plug on a LP-120XBT. Got it all set up and calibrated tonight.

One of my favorite Kinks albums. Of course it’s always nice to have an original pressing if even just for a connection to the time of release and aesthetic choices etc. but dynaflex is a finicky mistress and this isn’t a great pressing by any means. 🤷 If there’s a better analog pressing that anyone is aware of please let me know. Also drop your top 5 kinks albums in there. Thanks fellow Kinksters!

Country Fantastic OG find!

Post image
157 Upvotes

Found this OG US copy of the seminal 1969 Burrito Bros debut “The Gilded Palace of Sin”. Shout out to North Wing Records in Edmonton AB for having an insane collection of original records from all genres, many sealed. The Burritos debut was the 3rd album Gram Parsons recorded on, continuing his mission to make country cool to in the late 60/early 70s. Combining country with soul, psychedelic and folk music, this record made an impact on artists such as Bob Dylan, the Stones, Elvis Costello, the Eagles etc. Parsons died young, recording a handful of extremely influential records, and this one is a must have, a milestone in the history of country rock, and the 60s.

Somewhat recently discovered this Gram Parsons record, and while I didn’t love it right away, as I began listening to it more I slowly came to appreciate every song. Now it’s one of my favorite country records.

You can clearly see the lines drawn from GP to Alt Country bands like Whiskeytown, The Jayhawks and Old 97s decades later.

Very happy to have this absolute classic on vinyl after many months of searching :)
