Where it came from . . . .

Where it all came from, the playlist that runs inside the Desolation Angel's head all the time. Music from the '70's that was happening in my life at the time when I was the kid hanging out down at Boogie Records and ripping and running on the roads, backroads and byways of West Michigan. The stuff you may not readily remember. What you won't hear this week, because I'm under the assumption that anyone who's a serious student of  music already owns every cut or has heard every cut from: The Beatles, Hank Sr., Johnny Cash, Led Zeppelin, Janis, Jimi, The Sun Studios catalog, the Chess Studios catalog, The Who, Lynyrd Skynyrd or The Allman Brothers. They're important, they're critical and they're foundational. What you will hear, the stuff that was always playing, on vinyl, on my turntable, and formed the foundation, the elements of my musical education. The "other" stuff. Enjoy, it's not nostalgia, it's like a class in American music and what it was like to grow up in West Michigan. Peace out, The Desolation Angel Kip
