Pete Seeger – We Shall Overcome

Pete Seeger

This week in honor of all that has happened with marriage rights; I thought an album by legendary folk singer and protester, Pete Seeger would be appropriate for our “Pick”. This record was recorded live at Carnegie Hall in 1963 and released later that year. These are the songs that fueled the fires of protest. Pete was called a Communist for his beliefs but he only wanted equality and fairness. Don’t we all want the same things? Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

Happy Independence Day.

Peterson & Mulligan in Newport

Our “Pick” this week is a recent find, The Oscar Peterson Trio & the Gerry Mulligan Quartet at Newport. These legendary live performances were recorded in 1957 (Peterson) and 1962 (Mulligan). If you are a Jazz aficionado you know that you can’t go wrong with Oscar Peterson.  Hear history being made on this hard to find record.

Tina Turns the Country On

This week I am highlighting one of the many new records that we have recently acquired. From 1973 we have the second Tina Turner solo album “Tina Turns the Country On!” Country and Western hasn’t sounded this good since Ray Charles released Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music back in 1962. Just like with Ray’s album, Country songs become R&B and sound like it was always meant to be. Come in soon to see our wide selection of vintage records.
