So, everyone knows that I’m a huge Gary Bradford fan and for a long time he and I had communicated back and forth for years through email and Skype, I considered Gary one of my friends for a number of years, and like most people, I was saddened by his sudden passing. I’ve always had... Read More »
The Slye Twins are an absolute treat. Their album “It’s Me Again Lord” is a favorite of mine that has gotten a lot of plays over the last 15 years, this release, which was issued in 1980 by Baldwin Sound Productions seems to be their latest release, or that is known, I do hope their... Read More »
You know, I swore I wrote about this album already but I guess I never got around to it, but here it is, what is supposed to be one of the most talked about private pressing albums around, why? Once again, because the cover art. People tend to look at the cover and assume it’s... Read More »
Anyone who had watched the WCCW or NWA in the early 80’s knows the name Von Erich, if not for David, then for at least one of the other brothers, Kerry, Kevin, Mike or Chris – or their father Fritz. They’re a wrestling family dynasty with a tragic history, as after David passed away in... Read More »
Another feature from the deep past of my record collection, this one too, has been sitting in my collection for well over eight years – I’m pretty sure I’ve listened to it before, but it is my first time writing about it. So, from Tyler, Texas on the Delta Records label, I have Ken & Sandi with... Read More »
Unfortunately, on July 30th the world lost an absolute icon. Paul Reubens, who was widely known as “Pee-Wee Herman” passed away after a brave, six year battle with cancer. Naturally, he’ll be remembered as Pee-Wee, but he was so much more than just one character, he was a talented actor who featured in such movies like... Read More »
So, here we go with Georgia’s own the Laymen from Warner Robins, with what the liner notes say is their sixth album – self released as there is no label present. The album opens with the song “The Message of His Coming” and it starts with no instrumental backing just a cappella vocals before the... Read More »
So, after a long time of searching I finally came across this one – I’d been searching for this for almost as long as Larry Adams. This is Mrs. Sonya Chittum of Hot Springs, AR on the Shine Records label. The album opens with a song written by Mrs. Chittum (Though, her name... Read More »
So, today we do things a little different, instead of my usual Gospel release I’m doing something not Gospel – we have Taunnie’s 1984 pop release on Thunderbolt Records, “Boy Shoppin’” – and I have to say, with a back cover like that, reading over the liner notes and seeing it’s like a song of...

Martha Pilkenton of McKinney Texas released her album on hers and her husband, Ken’s label sometime in 1980. This is it. It starts with the classic “Born Again” and Martha definitely has a very country sounding voice, and she’s particularly good at singing this one. It’s a real nice version of this song too. Next...

Here we are with Suede’s first album, released in 1988 on her own label. Is it country? Is it jazz? I am about to find out. We open up the album with the Kenny Loggins track, “Wait A Little While” and Suede does hit the high notes really well, and she definitely does have a... Read More »
Ron Morehead recorded this album and released it on his own label in 1984. This album begins with the track “Grace” and he’s got a voice kind of like an Elvis impersonator, but only slightly at points. It’s definitely coming across more of a CCM album, as opposed to a traditional Gospel album. The first... Read More »
The Sleeve: The Liner/Sleeve Notes: None. Personal Review: So, it has certainly been sometime since I have written about anything on here and I figured since I should probably post or write about something! Recently, I’ve been watching a lot of the TV show, “ER” which features Paul McCrane for at least six seasons, and... Read More »
