Vinyl Rhetoric

Episode 237: The Beatles / A Hard Day's Night

This, the third album from The Beatles, is the first one which they wrote all the songs.  It contains several classics and remains timeless. 

Passing: Robby Steinhardt

Ironically, ten days before this, Heather and Kingcow played side 2 of this album.  Rock violinist and member of Kansas, Robby Steinhardt, passed away on July 17, 2021.  Kansas has a very iconic sound and Robby was a big part of that.  R.I.P. Robby.

Episode 236: Panic at the Disco / Too Weird to Live, Too Rare to Die (Side 2)

This is Heather's fourth island album.  Kingcow enjoyed both sides of this piece of vinyl.  Heather really likes this group and struggled to narrow down which of their albums she would take.  Kick back and enjoy the fourth album from these guys.

Episode 235: Jim Croce / You Don't Mess Around With Jim

Kingcow thinks this is the first album he ever got.  He really likes the songs and voice of Jim Croce.  One of several artists that died way too soon.  Hopefully the Rhetoricians will enjoy the folksy songs as well.

Episode 234: Santana / Abraxas

This is the sophomore release from Santana.  It definitely has a Latin feel to it.  Carlos Santana's guitar is prominent and very smooth on this album.  The Panda brought this and it is well worth a listen. 

Episode 233: Various Artists

This episode, Kingcow chose several of his 12" singles to play.  These songs were heard in the dance clubs and very entertaining.  The Rhetoricians may have also heard one or two of these songs.  The Panda certainly had!

Episode 232: Panic at the Disco / Too Weird to Live, Too Rare to Die

Heather brought this piece of vinyl.  Panic at the Disco's fourth album sounds good.  A combination of electronic, dance and synth, this album has a little something for everyone.  Kingcow really likes their sound.

Episode 231: Madonna / You Can Dance

This 1987 release is the first remix album from Madonna.  All the songs are recorded together for playing the side with non-stop dance/club feel.  If you enjoy Madonna you will enjoy this offering. 

Episode 230: Hall and Oates / Private Eyes

This is the 10th album from this duo.  Kingcow really enjoys their sound.  Hall and Oates know how to craft some smooth songs.  Hopefully, the Rhetoricians enjoy this offering.

Episode 229: Naked Eyes / Naked Eyes

This self-titled debut album was typical of 80's music.  Lots of synth, easy to dance to, catchy rhythms.  Released in the U.K. as Burning Bridges, this album reached #32 in the U.S.  Enjoy, Rhetoricians!
