Grass Talk Radio GTR-070 - Bluegrass on Vinyl

[NewsFetcher]

A new issue of Grass Talk Radio Podcast has just been published:

GrassTalkRadio.com Episode 070
Bluegrass on Vinyl - In this episode explain why I love vinyl records, big home stereo systems, and album covers. Then I race through a tour of 400 pounds of bluegrass records which have influenced, entertained, mystified and inspired me. I also try to make you feel guilty (just a little) when you listen to records on YouTube instead of showing up at a performance and carting home some swag, merch and physical recordings.

I'm with you, man. I have lots of vinyl, but not too much of it is Bluegrass. I buy the CDs at the shows and my local record store (but they have a small BG section). I haven't seen LPs at BG shows, but have only been attending them for the past couple of years.

I do like LPs for the reasons you mentioned and the large covers allow me to read the liner notes without a magnifying glass.

Mort: I forgot to mention in that episode that the Del McCoury vinyl record I bought at their recent show also included a little card inside allowing the purchaser to download the tracks as MP3s. That was genius! Best of both worlds. Thanks for listening to the show.
