Record Store Day, April 17, 2010
April 15th, 2010 Posted by J Frazzetta
For the third year in a row, Record Store Day, will be celebrated this coming weekend. Wait! You’re going to ask: what is a record store? This is the part where I die a little on the inside. With the world shoulder deep in the digital age, some see it archaic to have to leave their home, get in a car, drive, park, enter a store and begin looking through racks for an album they need to own.

Which was the exact response 16 current artists gave to their idols when this album was being created.

The reason for me purchasing this album was to hear Beck play Bob Dylan, which is done very well, and to give a listen to other artists I’m not familiar with. The lineup...
