Of all the vinyl updates this column has done, this is the one I am most excited about. The reissues featured below come from legends in virtually every music genre that ND covers: Uncle Tupelo (alt country); Tony Rice (bluegrass); Robert Johnson and BB King (blues); Jimmy Scott (jazz); The Beach Boys (popular); and The J. Geils Band (blues rock).
As noted in previous columns, my purpose is to expose roots music fans to audiophile recordings and audiophiles to roots music. Even if you are not a vinyl fan, these new reissues, remastered from the original tapes, are significant because many of them will also be available on CD and streaming. In other words, these recordings, most of which have been unavailable for decades, have never sounded better.
Unless otherwise noted all titles are currently available.
