Recent music purchases

Here are some of my recent music purchases and where you can grab 'em:

Al Green - 'Call Me'
One of the all-time great R&B records. I love the songs and, of course, Willie Mitchell's production. It has fewer hits but is a really cohesive and brilliant album. I just bought the new remastered edition that was released in June.

The Faces - 'Good Boys... When They're Asleep'
So you think Rod Stewart is a big cheesebag? Well, you're right, but here's some evidence that it wasn't always so. Apparently, The Faces employed a bartender onstage during their heyday, and that qualifies as bonus points in my book. You can definitely see why The Rolling Stones nabbed Ronnie Wood.

Kate Campbell - 'The Portable Kate Campbell'
I've been a Kate Campbell fan for several years, but I've never really much liked the production on her records (except for her more recent Muscle Shoals recordings). But her first release for Compadre Records is a collection of re-recordings helmed by Will Kimbrough (formerly of Todd Snider's Nervous Wrecks). I think the new recordings almost uniformly put the songs in an improved light. Really cool, quirky, Southern songwriting.

Dusty Springfield - 'Dusty In Memphis' (180 gram LP re-release)
I tracked this LP down from a dealer in Chicago. I think it's getting harder to find. So if you're a fan of this record (you should be!) and a fan of vinyl, you might want to pick it up. Features the original artwork in a gatefold package -- cooooooool. This site also has a terrific selection of vinyl re-issues.

I also just finished a strange little book about 'Dusty In Memphis' by Warren Zanes. This is part of Continuum Publishing's 33 1/3 series, and Zanes drifts off on a lot of tangents about the "myth of the South", but it's worth a read for the hardcore fan. Zanes injects a lot of his personality (and some really good stories about Stanley Booth and Jerry Wexler) into the writing, and I genuinely enjoyed it. I've also got the book in this series about The Kinks' 'Village Green Preservation Society', but I haven't read it yet.
