From what I gather from other members, no Allen, you are not alone. At the same time, you're probably the only one here who would create a thread to express your hatred of another artist. Certainly not the first time you've done this, and probably not the last. With your vast knowledge and experience, I'd much rather see a thread about musicians you really admire, artists you think I should check out. Larry K does this from time to time, and I appreciate his efforts. Then again, curmudgeons are gonna curmudge. Too bad.

Hi-res digital download. I suppose the vinyl might sound "warmer"?

Is this really an appropriate conversation to be having at a birthday party? Here's a possum head sammich and some cole slaw. Go grab yourself a beer while I put on a Sweet Papa Lou record, something with natural soul.

There's quite a difference between the sound of this reissue and my DCC gold CD. I suck at adjectives, but I'm going to say louder, brighter, wider and more revealing. Possibly too much? I'll be interested in hearing other people's impressions.

What about a compilation like this: Featuring Jimmy Forrest, Teddy Brannon, Tab Smith, Jimmy Coe, Fred Jackson, Chris Woods, Fats Noel and more. Streaming available on multiple platforms.
