With this being my first month to be a member of the Club, I was excited just to get anything. I had no idea what they would send, of course. But I think these guys are a little bit magic. I love Bob Dylan. Who doesn’t? I’m not big on live albums, but since I didn’t get to choose, I’m okay with whatever they send. Not sure why that makes sense, but it kind of does. Like for instance, the first record my wife bought me was an Alice in Chains live album. I love it. I just don’t normally seek out live shit.
Anyway, this is a great record, and I can’t fault them for not knowing that. Moving on, I also got Brittany Howard’s Live at Sound Emporium, which is also a kick-ass record. The quality of the recording here is remarkable. It’s almost like a studio album. I’m very happy with it. They surmised that since I have some Alabama Shakes in my collection, I must like Brittany. Well, guess what, guys? You’re damn right I do. She’s the reason I like the Shakes so much.
For the price, I can’t complain about anything they send me, really. I love adding to my collection, and I love having someone else buy me records – I don’t have a choice in what they get that way. And this is much like that. I give these guys my money, they pick out some stuff they think I’ll like, and they send it to me. Like a gift. And I even get to open it like a gift. Hell yeah.
