Having completed my initial assignment “to post 25 albums in 25 days that have had a major CREATIVE impact on me” (thanks, Chris Estey), and having enjoyed said project a GREAT deal, I’ve decided to post 25 MORE, for good measure.
So, “50 albums in 50 days”, here I come. Upon completion later this month, I think it will amount to a highly entertaining “map” of my musical sensibility!
As before, I’ll be posting “just album covers without any explanation”, and nominating “a different person each day to do the same”.
By the by, please feel free to follow the eventual links (in the comments) to my longtime home at EAST PORTLAND BLOG, where my dear friend (and EPB editor) Ricky has been re-posting my daily album selections (in an expansive layout where you can view ALL the variant album covers and aural media formats AT ONCE), plus a link to one song I’ve chosen to spotlight from each recording!
If you missed any along the way, want to revisit a particular post, or simply wish to listen to the songs, it’s MUCH easier to scroll back through these posts on EPB than it is on FB. Once you’re there, just click on the Tom Kipp “button”!
Today I nominate: William Kennedy
