rosco gordon - no dark in america
I bought this vinyl yesterday - No Dark In America. When it comes to graphic art, it's one of the best covers I've seen in a long time. Freakin' beautiful, suitable for framing, but I won't. I am all for vinyl, CDs, downloads and streaming to get all the music all the time, but vinyl still wins for cover art. Also, I only just learned about the late Rosco Gordon, a Memphis blues singer who died almost 20 years ago. Time to dig into his discography. Back to the format. Not only did this come as two discs -- the songs are spread over four sides to maximize audio quality -- it also came with a download card to rip onto my phone. Kudos to Dualtone Records for doing it right.
