What the hell? I hit play on my previously loaded, 5-disc, CD player (Yeah some of us hold out geezers still have our CD players and turntables) and heard Hiss Golden Messenger's, "Heart Like A Levee" album followed by Son Volt's, "Notes Of Blue" record but then what followed that, I can not identify upon listening to the first eight songs ..... which I really hate when that happens, (not that it happens often) ...... but I'm loving these sounds and sooner or later, I'm going to open up the CD player and see what the heck it is!!! But I have to admit to being totally clueless at this moment in time as I'm listening with fascination and I'll probably be kicking myself as soon as the mystery is revealed.
Awwwww the answer is ..... The National, "Trouble Will Find Me." I must have been seriously distracted the first time I listened to this as I have no remembrance of an initial impression. But how could I have overlooked these baritone lead vocals?
From starting out listening to my parents records to staying up late at night listening to the radio to being introduced to album collecting as a teenager to making mix-tapes and into the present, it seems that I've always been searching for and listening to music of widely varied genres. Here's an idea of what I've been hearing along the way ....
