BIG IN-STORE COMING UP!
JJ Grey (of Mofro) Free Acoustic Performance at Vinyl Fever!
In between Mofro
gigs at Skipper's (that
Friday and
Saturday night), JJ Grey has graciously accepted
our
invitation to play here! Mark your calendar for
Saturday, 2/23 (time to be
determined). We're going to have all kinds of fun with
this, including ticket and CD giveaways, for a start.
J.J. Grey doesn't need pyrotechnics or an elaborate
stage show to captivate an audience. All he needs is
a
microphone, a harmonica and a guitar or two and he'll
pull the crowd straight into his world of dirty, authentic
Southern grooves and deep fried soul. His lyrics are
reminiscent of the great southern poets- fiercely
personal, universal, and political without a hint of
superiority or preachiness.
Stop on by, enjoy an amazing in-store and get a
CD autographed by JJ himself! We'll be plenty-
stocked up on 2007's Country Ghetto and both
of the recently reissued, independent Mofro releases
on Alligator Records- 2001's Blackwater and
2004's Lochloosa.
JJ was featured on an old Jeff Corwin episode!

HAVE YOU EVER HEARD OF...
Delia Bell?
With her Texas drawl and straight-from-the-soil
sensibilities, Delia Bell has helped to preserve the
singing styles of the American West. Singing with
Oklahoma's "grand old man of bluegrass," Bill Grant,
since 1959, Bell continues to reverberate the sounds
of Americana through her performances and
recordings. Bell and Grant reached their apex, during
the 1980s, when they recorded three memorable
albums for the Rounder label that featured musical
accompaniment and vocal harmonies by members of
the Johnson Mountain Boys, dobro ace Roger
Williams, and Del and Jerry McCoury. Tunes from the
three albums were collected on the best-of album
Dreaming in 1989. ~ Craig Harris, All Music
Guide
Recently reissued was Delia Bell's self-titled, one and
only major label album, recorded in 1983.
Emmylou
Harris brought Delia to Reprise Records in 1983 and
produced this album. It had never been on CD
until recently and is a timeless album that sounds just
as fresh now as it did 25 years ago. We can trust
Emmylou to know the real thing when she heard it. A
glance of the liner notes confirms that she wasn't
alone. Some of the musicians playing on this album
includes Chet Atkins, Byron Berline, Glen D. Hardin,
Carl Jackson, Barry & Holly Tashian and John
Anderson. This is pure, unpretentious country, folk
and blue(s)grass.

Listening Post Features for February
Romance our headphones
T.H. White - The Private Spotlight
T.H. White's second album, The Private
Spotlight, was
released in December 2007.
A ten-song collection that spotlights its author's
surplus of talents as multi-instrumentalist (and crack
guitarist), producer, songwriter, arranger, and
programmer, The Private Spotlight manages
that rare
feat: amalgamating an intriguing variety of sonic
textures into a cohesive - and fun - set of songs that
might just provide a soundtrack to the bustling city
from which it draws inspiration.
Joe Jackson - Rain
With its adventurous spirit and piano-based sound,
Rain boasts plenty of humor, swing and
sophistication among barbed social commentary and
even some punk-like rocking out.
Jack Johnson - Sleep Through The Static
The first single If I Had Eyes can be heard on
radio
stations throughout the country. Jack Johnson will
start a US and
European tour in June 2008. Each US tour date will
have an "Eco Village" supporting both national and
local environmental non-profit organizations (including
Climate
Counts, Surfrider and Vote the Environment).
MGMT - Oracular Spectacular
Forty years after the Summer of Love (and 30 years
after
the Summer of Hate), MGMT is celebrating the grand
re-opening of the third eye of the world with Oracular
Spectacular- a collection of
hallucinatory sounds and hook-riddled pop tunes for
the new millennium.
Radiohead - In Rainbows
"in terms of songwriting, production and execution this
is Radiohead at its most inspired" - The New York
Times
"the band's most accessible release ever"-
Entertainment Weekly
"Radiohead's most emotionally resonant songs in a
decade" - Spin
"Radiohead haven't sounded this aggressive and
infuriated - so rock and roll - since OK COMPUTER, an
achievement that will be worth the usual retail price
when IN RAINBOWS comes out on CD in January."
#6 album of the year -Rolling Stone
"In Rainbows had no serious rival this year'" #1 BEST
ALBUM 2007 - New York Magazine
"surprising and addictive" ALBUM OF THE YEAR -
Mojo
