I can't get enough of most rock from about 65 to 80, but The Dead just never clicked with me for some reason. I knew a few of the tunes, I could could converse politely with fans, knew Jerry was a largely under appreciated player, and I kinda understood the lifestyle.
Then it hit me. Right time. Right place. I dunno. But Blues For Allah, man!
What a great record! And from what I understand, their first to be composed and recorded to be a cohesive album from front to back (?).
I still can't say I'm a camp follower, but boy do I dig that record.
Where does that one sit with the hardcore following? Is it low hanging fruit? Is it "the accessible album"? Does it ruin my street cred to like it as much as I do?

·Does anyone listen to Audiobooks? I just finished Zero to One by Peter Thiel and it was good. I recommend it for entrepreneurs or those in C-level or C-suite positions.

Would you recommend it for degenerate stock junkies. Theil, buffet, munger and a few others I often read and listen to. I haven’t got much into audiobooks as I’m just discovering the wonders of podcasts but I’m downloading a few for my now extended ride and trips out of state to help family. I like how Theil adds humor to his “quotes” or teachings he is a really bright guy.

Always loved Prine. One of my biggest musical regrets is answering the phone the night I had front row tickets to see Prine at a great Venue. It was damn near front row center and I didn’t know anyone I just called or ordered the minute they went on sale. I got mandated to work and since I was on call that weekend I had no options. It always bothered me but came back stronger when he passed away during Covid. He left us a legacy of music which will never die

·It’s always good to revisit the beginnings of recoded music.
Swaggie out of Australia hired in the late'60's the Best at transferring 78’s (or if lucky, the old metal works) to vinyl in John R.T. Davies for this series. He was a collector and loved this era and had access to people(& friends) who could provide pristine original 78’s not already in his collection.
Big, dynamic sound if mastered well, which this series is, at least the 8-10 albums I have.
His mastering to CD is equally well done.
