KOSMO's VINYL of the Week

Hank Williams, "Settin' the Woods on Fire"

6/30/2017

Hank Williams
KOSMO's VINYL of the Week:
Well it's back to 1952 with the one and only Hank Williams' "Settin' The Woods On Fire"...

"They sometimes call Hank Williams "The King of The Hillbillies", but to me, only Louis Armstrong stands above him in the history of American recorded music. Dead at age 29 from 'fast living', he remains a country music singer and a songwriter beyond compare. This one I've owned on 78, 45, LP, Cassette and CD (it sounds best on 78) and for me it just overflows with the joys of being alive. Play Loud !" - KV

Orchestra Baobab, "Utrus Horas"

Orchestra Baobab
KOSMO's VINYL of the Week:
This week we're off to Dakar, Senegal for Orchestra Baobab's "Utrus Horas", from their 1989 release "Pirates Choice"...

"It's my understanding that the "Pirates Choice" sessions were recorded in 1982 but that they were not released until 1989, after the band had broken up. Luckily for us, a new found audience had them reformed and touring the world. I saw them in Central Park and they were fantastic - sounded just like the record. A bunch of blokes in West Africa playing a style of Cuban music that was vintage when they discovered it. I doubt you can get more Afro-Cuban than that! Shout Out too for the great Malik Sidibe, for allowing his wonderful photographs to be used for the cover". - KV

The Undertones, "Teenage Kicks"

The Undertones, Teenage Kicks
KOSMO's VINYL of the Week:
Picked one of the all time greats this week The Undertones' "Teenage Kicks" from 1978...

"What a record - this one falls into the category of "If You Don't Like This, You Don't Like Rock 'N' Roll". Out of Derry, Northern Ireland, The Undertones came over on the ferry in 1978 and steamed into everyone. They truly were a joy to see and hear. The Clash were lucky enough to have them open on some US dates - they were bright-eyed, bushy-tailed and having a ball! When asked to rate "Teenage Kicks" on a scale from 1-5, British Radio DJ John Peel gave it 28 !" - KV

Eddie Kendricks, "Keep on Truckin'"

Eddie Kendricks
KOSMO's VINYL of the Week:
This week we're headed back to the dance floor with Eddie Kendricks and the full album version of "Keep On Truckin'", all eight minutes of it, from the self titled "Eddie Kendricks" LP...

"When I was sixteen in 1973, I was fortunate enough to get smuggled into the odd night club/discotheque, thanks to a couple of older girls I knew. Any place they took me, they seemed to know the bouncers and nothing about me appeared to be said, I just went in and they 'fronted' my admission. The long version of "Keep On Truckin'" was one of the big floor shakers when I entered that world and I don't think, at that time, the term "Disco" had been applied to a specific type of music."

The New Miles Davis Quintet, "Just Squeeze Me"

The New Miles Davis Quintet
KOSMO's VINYL of the Week:
This week's pick is from 1956, The New Miles Davis Quintet's "Just Squeeze Me", from the "MILES" LP on Prestige...

"When I moved to New York City in the mid 1980s, I started to listen to a lot of jazz and the 'new' Miles Davis Quintet featuring Miles Davis, John Coltrane (tenor), Red Garland (piano), Paul Chambers (bass) and Philly Joe Jones (drums) soon became my favourite jazz band. The absolute epitome of "cool" as stylish restraint, done here on a Duke Ellington composition. Miles made a lot of great records and played with a lot of great musicians, but this is the line up for me." - KV

    KOSMO's VINYL
    ​of the Week

    "The Record Shop is where I learned about the world beyond the one I had lived in. People like Curtis Mayfield, Lou Reed, Burning Spear and Fela Kuti showed me their worlds, its joys and struggles.
    I had never even heard the word "ecology" before Marvin Gaye introduced me to it!"

    - Kosmo Vinyl, New York City, 2014
