Vinyl Reivew: "Moanin' At Midnight: The Howlin' Wolf Project" by Tomas Doncker

Like the good man, Inigo Montoya said, Fezzini said to go back to the beginning and it seems most appropriate that I, your friend and humble narrator do precisely the same.

In 2020, my stream of vinyl records to review has dried up.

This is not a complaint, but a statement of fact and I stand with those bands who couldn't fulfill the promises. How do you ask?

That's a fair question.

I bought their records, usually on Bandcamp Fridays, and did Glacially Musical Roots reviews of them. I've been coping by drinking beers and buying records. See, I've been basically inside of my home since mid-March.

But I love you, so I stay. Gladly.

Vinyl Review: "Top of the World" and "Confused" by Sam Huber

Top of the World

Confused

Let's get something off of the table straightaway. This particular
vinyl review is different than any other I have done thus far.

This one is a bit like my digital reviews, which make up about 80% of all of them.

I have a hard and fast rule, that can be excepted, about digital reviews; they must be published before the album is released.

It's the only fair way of handling it as there are always about 500 unread emails in my inbox.

That's just the reality.

Now, vinyl reviews, all but one or two of them, are posted after the albums are released. Some of them have been published years after release. Digital reviews aren't much of an outlay for the labels, the bands, and the PR firms, because a digital file doesn't cost anything.
