I’ve just come across this record I never thought I’d find, because I didn’t even know it existed! I’m a big Charline Arthur fan and thought I knew all of what she had released, but there are two on the small El Dorado label out of Mesa AZ. Arthur was previously on RCA Victor before being released for not having enough hits...

Some people post spooky graveyard songs, and some people post creepy ghost songs for halloween, but the spookiest and creepiest thing on all of country music to me is kids singing songs about adult relationships. Seriously who thinks that it's OK for a child to sing about loving a grown man? #vinyl #halloween #music #45rpm

Hey Mastodon #vinyl people.

I really wanna do more on mastodon, but it just seems so small. What are some good country, americana, vinyl, gospel, or 45 rpm accounts or areas I should check out?

I made these library cards for my record collection and put the template up on my patreon, you can join for free.

Here's one of the oddest #outsider things I've found. It's a guy crooning two classic songs with a strumming guitar behind him, but it's just very strange. Highly recommended to give it a listen. #45rpm #vinyl

Dollar Country is a radio show hosted by Frank the Drifter. It primarily features country 45's that I find in dollar bins around the country. Featuring everything from old hits to b-sides, common records to rarities, and everything between the most popular artists and private press junk. I try to play things that I find good, interesting, or at least amusing, and I hope you like the show too.

the July newsletter is up online and available physically. I wrote a column called Country Gospel For The Non-Religious about why I think gospel music is important and good even for people like me who don't worship.

One of the most joyful things of having a baby is when he poops. There's something so hilarious about a baby getting a blank stare and then making a big "hnggghhh" noise and trying to poop. My wife and I always have to try to stifle our laughter. It's truly hilarious.

Founds some cool folkways tapes at the thrift. I've never seen tapes like this, they have printed out covers on the inside, like not professionally, just black and white on printer paper. Really good stuff too!
