Whats on your turntable tonight?

The Milk Carton Kids were for me one of the highlights of the New Basement Tapes (along with Marcus Mumford). I do wish they were a little more like The Everly Brothers than Simon & Garfunkel, but then I’m more of a 50’s than a 60’s guy, and more of a Rocker than a Folkie.

Of course, S & G modelled their harmonies on those of the Brothers (the higher part a third above the lower one), as did Lennon & McCartney. It was when they added George on a third part that they got REALLY good, like The Byrds. The harmonies Brian Wilson wrote for The Beach Boys were far above those of either group, very sophisticated.

Miami Chamber Trio - S/T (Audiophile 1977)

Good binaural recording which makes it a good listen.

Brian, Thanks for the comments about the Decca. Good to know.

Happy Christmas Week!
