Spinning Some Vinyl – Styx Paradise Theater

I am using my new record player for the first time today. I was awaiting the first record I ordered, “Paradise Theater” by Styx to arrive before spinning some vinyl today. I am musically being transported back to my youth here.

The record player itself sounds good although a little more bass would be nice.

Johnny Cash – Man In Black

I wear the black for the poor and the beaten down Living in the hopeless, hungry side of town I wear it for the prisoner who has long paid for his crime But is there because he’s a victim of the times

Johnny Cash – The Man In Black

An appropriate song for the times we live in. This song is a protest song of sorts I think. He in his own way is aware of the plight of others and I so appreciate that.

The Police – Invisible Sun

This 40 year old song has some very timely relevance to what we are going through in the world right now. Sometimes music speaks volumes and expresses the angst that people are feeling right now. There is a glimmer of hope though.

Sonic Saturday: Gary Clark, Jr. – This Land #BLM

This is a strong protest song that brings up the issue of racism in America. In “This Land” it talks about a black man who is American and fights those who think otherwise. Gary Clark, Jr. tells a strong story here.
