Warm And Fresh And Yet Familiar
author: Jeff Lindsey
Once there was a time when you had to buy new music based on word of mouth, or based on a really cool article that you read in Rolling Stone magazine, written by some writer whose opinion you valued, and who would rave about some new release - and you just had to hear it for yourself. So you’d do extra chores, save up your allowance, go to the store and buy it, run to your room, tear the plastic off, put it on the turntable and plop on the bed, staring at the ceiling, anxiously waiting for that moment to decide for yourself if it was all worth it.
No specific record comes to mind, but lying there staring at the ceiling, there’d be a moment when it would hit me, and I’d smile and know that I would love this record for the rest of my life…That’s the feeling I get every time I play LIVING STEREO. It’s warm and it transcends me, at every listen, without fail.
If you’re reading this, you’re most likely already familiar with Marti Jones and Don Dixon’s work. The cliff notes version: You will NOT be disappointed. It’s warm and fresh and yet familiar and will make you realize that in this day and age of disposable music, there still exists NEW music that you’ll love for the rest of your life. HIGHLY RECCOMENDED.
