SHOP ASSISTANCE: DYZZY ON VYNYL

October 3,

VANILLA FUDGE "VANILLA FUDGE" ATCO () "This is Vanilla Fudge's first album from the late '60s. It's kinda

psychedelic, but that's why I like it. They have a [TKTK] drummer on

there who makes it even better when they do their version of 'Ticket to

Ride' by the Beatles. It's so trippy because they totally psychedelic

THE AGGROLITES "REGGAE HIT L.A." HELLCAT "I used to do stuff for these guys when they were first starting out

playing bars like five or six years ago. This is their third album and

it sounds like they finally got the sound they wanted—the perfect blend

of reggae, punk and soul. It's neat to see a [...]

BLACK REBEL MOTORCYCLE CLUB "BABY 81" RED INK "Pretty groovealicious. If you've never heard BRMC, it's drone-y rock

and roll. Sort of garage-y, but a little slicker than your average

grunge band so it's still fun and loud. This album is more

interesting—more catchy—but not glossy and commercial. Came in last week

and we have an [...]

ROBIN TROWER "BRIDGE OF SIGHS" CAT "Robin Trower is a three-piece blues band named after the band's guitar

player. If your band is named after you, you better be good, right? This

album is straight-ahead blues-rock, but when it came out it was amazing

because he's a virtuoso blues guitar guy. Trower was the closest thing

[...]

SPADE COOLEY "SWINGIN' THE DEVIL'S DREAM" PROPER PAIRS () "Big Ed's Records would like to recommend Spade Cooley. He is the king

of western swing. He was famous from the mid-'40s to the late '50s.

Western swing has fiddles and steel guitars in it, even though back then

steel guitars were considered a hillbilly instrument. Swingin' [...]

August 29,

VARIOUS ARTISTS "THE HARDER THEY COME: ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACK" ISLAND () "As far as the movie goes, it's just a '70s Jamaican movie about life in

Kingston—typical reggae movie from . But I'm into the music more

than the movie because it has a lot of reggae classics like 'Pressure

Drop' by Toots and the Maytals and [...]

TINARIWEN "AMEN IMAN: WATER IS LIFE" WORLD VILLAGE "Tinariwen are a group of Tuareg nomads from Mali, and they play African

blues. It doesn't sound anything like American blues, but they call it

'African blues,' for some reason. They use traditional African rhythms

but also electric guitars and sing in either their native Tuareg

language or [...]

HANK WILLIAMS, SR. "THE ULTIMATE COLLECTION" MERCURY "My friend gave me this box set for Christmas. My sister introduced me

to Hank five or six years ago, and it's been love ever since. The lyrics

are so melancholy and horrible but great at the same time. I never

bought any of the albums because—and I hate [...]

COMMON "FINDING FOREVER" G.O.O.D/GEFFEN "Common is more of a conscious rapper and is into the political aspect

of rapping. He's for people that like Dead Prez or Kanye. There's a lot

of music out there like him because he just talks about stuff that goes

on in the streets. He talks about everything he sees—like the [...]

SPIRIT "BEST OF SPIRIT" EPIC () "Spirit was around in the late '60s, when LA was the place to be. They

had so much energy and their own freaking sound—which was good, since

they were an American band. They had a jazzy rock influence at times,

and if you put a Spirit record on, someone will [...]
