A truly inspirational man who had commitment and determination (and money to help). It begs the question whether those now well-known artists would have been so well know today if it were not for John Hammond to recognise and then promote their music. However, it's sad that he despised bebop, probably because it was not considered "commercial" enough to merit attention.

Imagine my surprise when I found out that he was Timothy Olyphant's great uncle. But then again, you can see the Hammond family resemblance in Tim.

your missing 'No Deeper Blue' you need that one.

Dock is a legend I just discovered his music after buying my first banjo. His style is very much like the style I've been playing I'm also located in the Appalachian mountains

I basically just focus on the 2 genres (the only ones I’m actually passionate about). I still buy way too many, but I think it helps. I don’t really spend my money on anything else either. I guess it’s all relative.

Townes was a fascinating character. He came from a prominent Texas family, very handsome, athletic, intelligent, a gifted songwriter but incredibly self destructive. He was one of the greatest but his worst enemy.

sturgill simpson is awesome,i have 4 of his Records!!

cool, that billie holliday album, and the Ella and Louis one!!

i actually have a few of those same 45 records you shown, call me square but,,i dig billboard hot 100 hits between 1956 to 1963.

Johnny Mathis is a good singer, i agree, but did you know his very first album, has some jazz musicians backing him,,i do have that one.

i think i read the dictators made 2 or 3 albums,,i always keep my eye out for them, cause i would snatch them up..

cooll, album covers!!

Very evocative art

So happy I found this video. I got the anthology of American folk music when I was about 23 now I’m 40 and Dock Boggs was the standout artist on it for me. I heavily downloaded his music, I own the one vinyl you showed first as well. He is so underrated. Theres nothing I love more than driving the rural route home from work I take every day and listening to him as I drive. Thanks for making this video

Dick Boggs is one of my favorites. Love his sound

Does anyone know how Townes made his flatpick “pop” like that?

I llove his piano recording sound. Sonny Clark with Dexter Gordon. Red Garland with Miles Davis. I havnt heard piano I like better.

I like the way RVG mixed horns in stereo. Reverb on one side, dryer on the other. Engineers today want to put in the middle. Does anyone know engineers today that use his techniques?

well, well... i feel the VC in general has pit more competive pressure on ppl to buy more than they need or want or can afford. this being said, me existing at the outer fringes of that has never been affected by that but coming from a dj angle i've put a lot of money into vinyl over the past decades, especially throughout the years i've been playing out a lot. we might be talking high five digits in terms of actual cash. these days, as dj'ing has slowed down significantly, i've set a basic rule of not spending more than 20% of me freelance income on vinyl - even though both my dayjob and freelance work is music related, running several small labels is as well, so vinyl is tax deductable for me as well and can be seen as a business expense and still doing radio shows does require additions to the collection anyway. this being said, oftentimes i only by a handfull of super recent releases, counting both new stuff as well as contemporary re-issues of electronic music from the 80s and 90s, my formative years, to backward complete my collection which seems to be vital to me. apart from this, i'll fill some gaps here and there within the named field and i'm totally fine with this at this point. if i happen to manage to get the dj thing going again at some point spending on vinyl will increase for sure. but for now i'd rather put some money aside to release limited whitelabel vinyl runs by artists and producers i really appreciate and want their music to be heard - and ofc to be sold globally through our distribution partner.

Excelente video🙌🙌👐🎊🎉👏👏👍👍👍 pero si lo grabas en español tendrás muchas más vidtas

Puedes hablar en español?? La salsa de Willie Colón es en español con la Maravillosa voz de Héctor Lavoe 🎉

Paul Chambers was and is the most important bassist in Jazz. If you don't agree, tell me anyone who could swing so hard yet relaxed as he did. When he played in Miles first quintet - that's when the band really swung.

Amazing he didn't need to make adjustments to keep the sound from the living room.

He was such a great musician and person. I saw him two times in Paradiso in Amsterdam, in 1981 and 1985 with the Sir Douglas Quintet. At both times the roof went off.

thanks, Carlos

This was great! I'm a huge Townes Van Zandt fan. His songs are covered by so many great artist too!

He had the magic!

Keep sharing your stories…. I love ❤this content

Him and Bascom Lunsford made me love folk music

Nicely done. I appreciate the message behind this deeply. This year, now 4 months in, I have spent LESS than $100. Of course, last year I went from like 300-1000 records over the year, and yeah, it's enough. So much good music already, with really only the opportunity to hear 2-3 LPs a day. The math doesn't add up! Enjoyed! 😁

Im not a fan of Doug Sahm, if not for Freddy's songs he wouldn't be too good.

Great job on this. Very entertaining and informative

I'll recommend one you didn't show. Live and obscure is a good album

love this esp you dressed properly and i dont like to be that dude but the rumours im sure are true are that Dead Flowers is not a Stones cover but rather somewhat of a co write but its murky as Townes could have cared less abotu credit anyway and certainly on any song esp one about heroin and relief from solitude troubles with women life hes not gonna recall what he wrote vs Keff Mick etc......anyay glad it got you into Townes who is in the top few of artists LOVEd by those who know....great viny too thanks - SJOCR

The GOAT

I can relate completely with what you’re describing! That is me ! I had the FOMO and buying records I didn’t need! I am ashamed to admit that I have records I have never opened! What helped me was to quit watching the new releases channels on UA-cam If I dont see it I dont want it! Good video

Joe Ely's last name is pronounced "Eee-lee."

Towns Van Zant wrote “Dead Flowers.” The Rolling Stones covered it, not the other way around.

I think you're absolutely right that Blaze's story is probably more tragic than Townes, and that's really saying something.

Great stuff! Thank you. I am an Otis Gibbs fan too.

The Dude abides! Great video Carlos, I love Townes Van Zandt. That’s a fine collection of his work that you’ve built up. Lots great information too. Cheers, Jack

Sure do miss the music of Doug Sahm

If it's a holy grail, I say to myself FOMO is justified, but 99% of the time, FOMO is just silly. There are thousands of great records out there that I still haven't got or listened too. Missing out on a few here and there doesn't really matter.

Great topic! I started purging big time in 2023, and have kept at it. I now call myself a record uncollector. Curation is the real art of collecting, so that's where I keep my focus these days. Keep on keeping on. Just found your channel and you've earned yourself another sub!

I gave up on the perfect collection i had in my mind so just settle for some mystery and things true I've not played yet. Helps me to be a little less focused and unorganized. Other more important parts of life are reserved for that. Actually i find The Smile a little dull compared to Radiohead. Nethertheless a good interesting chat.

TREMENDOUS INSIGHT INTO THE HISTORY OF JAZZ , BLUES , AND JOHN HAMMOND'S BRILLIANCE !!

Some wise words and thoughtful chat there so alot of us are in similar boats but I rarely buy unless cheap these days as I'm a thrifter now who bought all and kept most from the 90s bought NEW. Good timing on my part. 800 that's alot of jazz 😅😊 If anything I like to find new music but I'm quite picky. Wet Leg album I bought but beyond that it's rarer. I'm not an audiophile and my ears are old so I don't go buying reissues if I already have an ok copy. Thanks for the ramble. Regards, Martin. Aka the vinyl scavenger.

Great name for a channel! ❤

Invite a friend and let him do a blindfold test with you on a dozen or so records from your own collection. You may be suprised how many you won't be able to pin down.
