THE VINYL VIBE

To celebrate America’s birthday, the Vinyl Vibe team talks about Ray Charles‘ amazing rendition of America The Beautiful. Tune in as we talk about the song’s history and the unique spin Ray put on this American classic. 

The Vinyl Vibe joins the great tradition of Christmas specials by doing a deep dive on one of the most iconic Christmas tunes of all time, Nat "King" Cole’s THE Christmas song. 

Join the team as they take a dive into the 80s with a decade defining album – Tears for Fears’ Songs from the Big Chair. Will they “shout” it’s praise or will they “rule” the day they listened to it. 

Join the guys as they discuss one of early hip-hop’s most iconic and enduring albums, De La Soul’s 1989 debut 3 Feet High and Rising. Also, is auto tune an instrument or a crutch? 

This week the guys talk about the Ramones' 1976 debut album “Ramones“, father to the punk genre and highly influential album in rock ‘n’ roll. Also, is TikTok the new MTV? We'll decide on this episode!

This week the Vinyl Vibe crew listens to and watches Purple Rain. Is it a soundtrack to a movie or a movie about an album? The guys don’t come anywhere close to answering this question, but they do have a lot of fun exploring this fascinating chapter of Prince's career.

Road trip to the Big Easy! Come along with the Vinyl Vibe crew as they explore the streets of one of the most important cities in music history and discuss the legendary work of Louis Armstrong, ambassador of jazz.

The boys are back in town...with a Halloween Special. This time they do a deep dive into the  spooky holiday hit "Monster Mash". It's a fun way to preview session 2 of the podcast. We hope you'll join us! 

The team is on location (...somewhere) with another great album to consider. In 1996 the Fugees released their breakthrough album The Score and it's taken Jamie a few decades to listen to the whole thing. Will they turn it or will they burn it? 

On the last official episode for season one, the guys listen to their first jazz album, Billie Holiday's Solitude. We had a lot of fun on this one and we hope you do too. 

This week the Vinyl Vibe crew listens to the 1964 debut album by The Kinks. The ending might surprise you. 

This week the guys pick up Aretha Franklin's breakthrough album - I Never Loved a Man (The Man I Love You). They also have a side conversation about what makes an artist great. 

This week the guys listen to the sixth album by the legendary Bob Dylan. The record that contains his biggest hit "Like a Rolling Stone".

Join the guys as they discuss the third album by the hip-hop pioneers Run-DMC.

On this first episode, the team listens to Bayou country, the second album by Creedence Clearwater Revival. Excuses us as we are still figuring out the format for our show and are liable to make a few mistakes. For instance, CCR has seven albums, not six. So sorry. Thanks for listening.
