#vinylbookchallenge Day 30 and last: A Christmas Carol: A holiday album. Here I am with Andy Williams’s classic, a mug of cocoa, and my hat I only actually get to use like once a year because for some reason I live in TEXAS. Thanks @puttherecordon and @deepindigo114_vinyl for a great month of challenges! #andywilliams #christmasmusic #vinyl #vinyladay #lp #vinyloftheday #vinyligclub #vinyljunkie #vinylcommunity #instavinyl #vinylgram #recordcollector #nowspinning https://www.instagram.com/p/CIPWdzip0Gr/?igshid=dpozyttunwf2

Heeeere’s Johnny! Today’s #vinylbookchallenge theme is The Shining, an album by someone named John or Jack. And as luck would have it, today my husband gifted me this sublime record by John Coltrane. A Love Supreme was the first jazz album I ever loved, and it’s been a problem for me since I started collecting vinyl: all the good-sounding pressings were out of my price range, be they original or audiophile-grade, and the run of the mill represses sound dreadful. What’s a budget audiophile to do? Then this year Acoustic Sounds put out this analog-sourced beauty, and my Coltrane dreams came true. 16 years after first listening to this on CD in high school, I feel like I’m getting the full experience. @puttherecordon @deepindigo114_vinyl #johncoltrane #jazz #jazzvinyl #vinyl #vinyladay #lp #vinyloftheday #vinyligclub #vinyljunkie #vinylcommunity #instavinyl #vinylgram #recordcollector #nowspinning https://www.instagram.com/p/CHRnExsJCX5/?igshid=1jj0v2qmc7w8q

It’s Day 30 of the #vinylbookchallenge by @deepindigo114_vinyl and @puttherecordon: A Christmas Carol - Holiday Album. Merle Haggard’s Christmas Present (Something Old, Something New) (Capitol, 1979) A friend gave this to me and I thought he was joking, but a couple of the originals are really good, especially If We Make It Through December, and the standards on side two are sung extremely well and mostly tasteful in their arrangements. I learned once again to never doubt The Hag! This challenge was a lot of fun! Many thanks to our creative hosts for putting fit together. #novembervinylchallenge #vinylcommunity #vinyl #vinylcollection #vinylgram #vinylgeek #vinylcollector #countrymusic #merlehaggard #merlehaggardandthestrangers #christmasmusic @capitolrecords @merlehaggardofficial https://www.instagram.com/p/CIO9G7VgCFX/?igshid=87e717jl9g54

#vinylbookchallenge Day 29: Great Expectations: New album you can’t put down. I’ve posted about it plenty, but the new @springsteen is the obvious choice here! It’s been living in my head rent-free since release day. @puttherecordon @deepindigo114_vinyl #vinyl #vinyladay #lp #vinyloftheday #vinyligclub #vinyljunkie #vinylcommunity #instavinyl #vinylgram #recordcollector #nowspinning #brucespringsteen https://www.instagram.com/p/CIMr-zlpvsx/?igshid=13tt1re1dugc0

It’s Day 28 of the #vinylbookchallenge by @deepindigo114_vinyl and @puttherecordon: The Stand - Album That Got You Through 2020. Bonny Light Horseman (37d03d, 2020) I’ve shared this before, but now I can call it the “Grammy-nominated debut album” from the trio of Anais Mitchell, Eric D. Johnson, and Josh Kaufman. It came out in January so its ancient yet modern folk melodies and harmonies have been enrapturing me literally all through 2020. Wonderful stuff! #novembervinylchallenge #vinylcommunity #vinyl #vinylcollection #vinylgram #vinylgeek #vinylcollector @bonnylighthorseman @anaismitchell @kaufyismynamo @fruit_bats @37d03d #indiefolk https://www.instagram.com/p/CIJzZuDAVbo/?igshid=1wim4m4v9e2ry

Theme of 2020? Survive. #vinylbookchallenge Day 28: The Stand: Album that got you through 2020. This year, among many other things, is the year I got into #reggae . Perfect timing if you ask me: the ideal blend of calming and spurring to political action. Bob Marley, Survival @puttherecordon @deepindigo114_vinyl #bobmarley #vinyl #vinyladay #lp #vinyloftheday #vinyligclub #vinyljunkie #vinylcommunity #instavinyl #vinylgram #recordcollector #nowspinning https://www.instagram.com/p/CIJR_4eJ32w/?igshid=16wvwe7gb15je

It’s Day 27 of the #vinylbookchallenge by @deepindigo114_vinyl and @puttherecordon: Black Beauty - Black Album Cover. Melvin Van Peebles (Brer Soul) - Ain’t Supposed To Die A Natural Death (A&M, 1970) At least as proto-rap as the Last Poets, with MVP declaiming his socio-politically infused stories over expertly played soul-jazz. An oddity for sure, but one of his best records. If he wasn’t also a great film and theater director (Sweet Sweetback’s Badassss Song, among other), he would like be better recognized for this stuff! #novembervinylchallenge #vinylcommunity #vinyl #vinylcollection #vinylgram #vinylgeek #vinylcollector #melvinvanpeebles #funk #jazz #soul #spokenword https://www.instagram.com/p/CIHTx21gICu/?igshid=16kyaw1gp8b4j

#vinylbookchallenge Day 27: Black Beauty: A black album cover. Since I don’t own Jay-Z on vinyl I’ll have to go with @nickcaveofficial Skeleton Tree again! Figured I’d put on some black for the occasion too. Happy Black Friday, stay the f home! @puttherecordon @deepindigo114_vinyl #nickcave #nickcaveandthebadseeds #vinyl #vinyladay #lp #vinyloftheday #vinyligclub #vinyljunkie #vinylcommunity #instavinyl #vinylgram #recordcollector #nowspinning https://www.instagram.com/p/CIG6KQqJZBz/?igshid=1uyifzbnxd49m
