Day 996 #recordsontheshelf #musicchallenge #vinyl Found this pristine condition set on the weekend, and couldn't leave it alone. The snippets of mutual admiration before each song are kinda cool with a few sounding most sincere. Decent, not essential set, but worth owning.
Album cover of Bill Monroe and Friends showing picture of Monroe with some of the session participants including Barbara Mandrell, John Hartford, Willie Nelson (maybe?) and the Oak Ridge Boys. Stylized like an old photo album cover, the back cover includes all credits and song titles.

"Money's Too Tight (to Mention)" (The Cutback Mix)
The album track was terrific. This mix goes on a few minutes too long, and therefore is Not My Favourite.

Day 1213 #CDsOnTheShelf #MusicChallenge #Bluegrass Old-time is not a crime. It also isn't bluegrass, but close enough for my shelves. I fell for The Crooked Jades at Wintergrass in '01 I believe it was, maybe '02. In the days when we could still encounter music at a fest not before heard.
The Crooked Jades, Seven Sisters, The Unfortunate Rake, Vol 1 and Vol 2; World's On Fire.

In Rhode Island, ICE arrested an intern who worked for a court, and then a judge intervened to say they had the wrong person.

All leading to a scene where ICE agents surrounded the judge's car and "threatening to smash in the windows if they did not comply." www.wfla.com/news/judge-i...
