Wonderful record! Their single seemed to take over the airwaves! Paul Simon showed he was capable of writing a ‘Hey Jude’ or a ‘Let It Be’! This was the album that paved the way for Paul Simon to almost tie Paul McCartney and Stevie Wonder as the 70s top 3 songwriters! Just think how many top ten hits these three artist had in the 70s and early eighties! They almost ‘owned’ the airwaves! Love your whole approach, brother!
Hey Cap, I love Ry Cooder. I remember when I first found out about Ry I listened to Paradise and Lunch and I was like what is this…just kind of caught me off guard but I still enjoyed it nonetheless. Still really love Ry. Some really great stories and memories here, loved hearin em and getting to know you better. Cheers Cap!
I really enjoyed this video. Thank you for entering my contest. I love that your first record was a memory with your Dad and your last record is a memory of you being a Dad with your sons. My Dad was such a huge part of why I'm a music fan and record collector. So many of my musical memories involve him and I still feel close to him even though he has passed away and that's because of the music we shared. I hope my son has some of those same musical memories when he is older. You made the point in your intro that too often in the vinyl community we talk too much about different pressings and sound quality etc. and not enough about the music and why its important. That is EXACTLY why I did this contest. You get it! Thank you for that.
