J.D.'s Music Monday Pick: Carole King - "It Might As Well Rain Until September"

Hey everybody, this is J.D. King from The Olms… I love music! I've been passionate about collecting it since I was a young lad, it was like fuel then, and still is to me now. We here at The Olms Corporation skyscraper, in between hostile takeovers, sit in our cushy chairs high above the bustling metropolis and find our meditation atop the clouds listening to all kinds of music on all sorts of mediums. Be it 78s, LPs, 45s, reel to reel, cylinders, what have you, music enriches our lives, no question, and it's a pleasure for me to share some of my favorite recordings with you.

*I personally suggest listening to these on vinyl, reel to reel or another higher medium other than digital by the way. You'll thank yourself later for doing so, trust me.

Carole King - "It Might As Well Rain Until September"

Carole King wrote and co-wrote many classic hit songs that are engrained into the fabric of our culture: “Loco-Motion,” ”I’m Into Something Good,” “Pleasant Valley Sunday,” “Will You Love Me Tomorrow,” “Up On A Roof,” “Chains,” etc. The list goes on and on. I like great songs and great songwriters, don't you?

T-Rex - "Light Of Love"

Outstanding beat, vocals and production. Marc Bolan was a masterful entertainer. Get his records, his catalogue is impressive (understatement).

Todd Rundgren - "I Saw The Light"

From his double album Something/Anything. Great production, songwriting, multi-instrumental work, etc. on this record all by Rundgren. This album encouraged me to try out new creative engineering and production techniques while christening The Kings Ranch sound.

Magna Carta - "Autumn Song - Epilogue"

The epilogue to their album "Seasons." I love story telling elements in music; this group does it tastefully and in an endearing manner. Try to find the record and listen to its B side in quiet comfort.

Genesis - "The Knife"

Early Genesis from Trespass. I really like the lyrics in this one; the musicianship is well thought-out and ambitious. They put on very dramatic and theatrical shows too, I would have loved to have seen them live then.
