Tim Hardin - "Suite for Susan Moore and Damion - We Are - One, One, All In One" (1969)

The high lonesome sounds combined with all the family photos scream,"She's left me". What a way to end the 60s.

Neil Young - "After The Gold Rush" (1970)

Somehow I went all these years without acquiring this record, until today. Apparently this lp was inspired by a Dean Stockwell script for a movie that never got produced.

#NowPlaying #NeilYoung #vinyl #VinylRecords

Album cover features a black and white photo of Neil Young wearing a back pack that's in the shape of a little old lady. Neil's handwritten lyrics to After The Gold Rush: Well, I dreamed I saw the knights in armor coming Sayin' something about a queen There were peasants singin' and drummers drumming And the archer split the tree There was a fanfare blowin' to the sun That was floating on the breeze Look at mother nature on the run in the nineteen seventies Look at mother nature on the run in the nineteen seventies I was lyin' in a burned-out basement With a full moon in my eyes I was hopin' for replacement When the sun burst through the sky There was a band playin' in my head And I felt like getting high I was thinkin' about what a friend had said I was hopin' it was a lie Thinkin' about what a friend had said I was hopin' it was a lie

Bill Fay - "Time of the Last Persecution" (1971)

This is the first time that I've really sat down with this recording, and I get why everybody references it. Also, shout out Deram records. Those Decca engineers were the best

Kelan Phil Cohran and Legacy - "African Skies" (1993)

I was excited to get this recent reissue of African Skies, a terrific Phil Cohran record that had been unavailable for years and sells for crazy money on Discogs. But this isn't the real African Skies. 🧵

Windy & Carl - "Antarctica: The Bliss Out, Vol. 2" (1997)

Newly reissued. The cover of my original copy got destroyed by a water leak years ago, back when my records were boxed up in storage. It's nice to have a cover again.
