Listening to records…
Music From Monitor
Monday night, time to wade through some records for a change. Nothing to download for you, but get a load of the great LP covers while I listen to them. First off, dig that crazy aluminum record player!
Duane Eddy – Twistin’ ‘N’ Twangin’
Favorite tune… “Twistin’ Off a Cliff” of course
Chet Atkins in Hollywood
Harmonicats – The Cat’s Meow
Harmonica orchestras of the ’50s all descend from Borrah Minevitch’s Harmonica Rascals, Youtube them.
George Wright – Flight to Tokyo
The king of the Wurlitzer organ.
Lenny Dee – DEE-lightful
His first lp. It has his organ instro version of the rockabilly hit he wrote, Plantation Boogie.
The Primitive Sounds of Henny Youngman
Music To Make Housework Easier
Buddy Cole – Powerhouse
The title track is the killer big band tune by Raymond Scott, made famous by Carl Stalling in Warner Bros cartoons.
intact inside Warner Brothers sleeves
Si Zenter – The Swinging Eye
Three Suns – Malaguena
Not all Three Suns are great, but this one is. You want the ones that are just accordian, guitar & organ, not so much the ones with lots of string arrangements.
Paul Weston – The Sweet and The Swingin’
A great record, with some great jazz players.
Nipsey Russell – Guzzling and Giggling Party
Enoch Light – The Private Life of a Private Eye
Probably the most engaging record by this easy listening band leader.
