“Love Calls You by Your Name” from the late, great Leonard Cohen’s third album, Songs of Love and Hate, which was released in 1971 and had a band that included then-session player Charlie Daniels. Yes, that Charlie Daniels. #leonardcohen #vinyl #recordollection #singersongwriter

“Working Late” from Lone Justice’s first recordings, a six-song EP of demos called The Western Tapes, 1983. Though recorded two years before their self-titled debut studio album, this rawer-sounding EP wasn’t released until 2018. #lonejustice #altcountry #vinyl #recordollection

The Champs were born in 1957 when a group of L.A. session musicians stuck around to jam after the early completion of a recording session for another artist. They made this LP for Gene Autry’s new Challenge Records and had this big hit in 1958. #thechamps #vinyl #recordollection

When Morrissey angers and frustrates with his attitude, comments and missed shows, it pleases me that Johnny Marr is the Smiths member making the best solo music for more than the last decade. Here’s “Hi Hello” from 2018. #johnnymarr #thesmiths #vinyl #recordollection
