You're dog tired from OD'ing on Tryptophan. You've spent the day cooking. You were up all night with friends and family. So, as you crawl to bed at 2 AM, what better way to recover than to wake up at 5 AM and GO SHOPPING!!
Why? Because, as the Music Ho discovers every year, CDs that you'd normally shell out $12.99 for are now $3.99 for a few magical hours.
So, the Music Ho woke up early. (Well. Not 5 AM. 8 AM.) And here's what was purchased:
The Essential Bob Dylan
I'm not a major Bob Dylan fanatic. I don't need all his CDs. This is a perfect two-disc collection of his greatest hits. Covers all the stuff a basic-level Dylan fan needs.
The Band - Greatest Hits
Again, a good basic collection of another classic band from the 60s and 70s. However, if you do want one of their albums, seek out "Music From Big Pink" -- one of the defining albums of the 1960s. While the Beatles were shifting the music scene into arty, psychedelic sounds of whimsy, The Band created a sound that was rural, country, very, very rustic.
Miles Davis - Sketches of Spain
I don't do too many blind purchases, but I did with this one. I have a few other Miles Davis albums that I like a lot and this one is listed amongst his greatest, so it was a safe blind purchase.
Curtis Mayfield - The Very Best Of...
One of the great Soul/R & B artists of the 70s. Always took R & B to a higher, very educated level.
