Extensive and Eclectic and we hear them as is with scratches, crackles and pops.
Being a radio and mobile DJ for a decade and a half, I collected several hundred albums. I had nothing on my dad who owned more than 500 (33 1/3) LPs and over 100 78 RPMs at the time of his death in December 2019. I had no idea he had so many. We found them spread all over the house when we prepared for the estate sale. I went through every one and categorized them on an app called Discogs. I thought so many were unique, I decided to start a podcast called Spinning My Dad’s Vinyl. Each episode will feature an album. I’ll tell stories about the family listening to these albums and I’ll give other info about the album and the time it was released.

We are going to have a ton of fun with this episode. Well 16 tons. Ah. That was too easy.
This is the only album my dad has of this great singer. But, it’s obviously the most important one from his releases.
This artist was really a radio personality at heart, but when producers discovered that deep voice of his, well, the rest is history.
So get ready to hear one of the truly great voices of pop music from the mid 20th century in Volume 236: Tennessee Tons.
For more information about this album, see the Discogs webpage for it.
