Let's see...

You'd find a lot of rock from Gene Vincent and Buddy Holly to Fountains of Wayne and Jimmy Eat World (but no rap or hip hop;) old rhythm and blues from the Penguins to the Dell Vikings; Jazz from Gene Harris and Stanley Turrentine to Tal Farlow and Kenny Burrell; folk from The Anthology of American Folk Music to The Stanley Brothers; blues from Leadbelly and Mississippi John to Stevie Ray Vaughn; popular music from the twenties to the 60's;) Classical from Bach to Stravinsky; soundtracks from Pete Kelly's Blues to The Big Country; country from Haggard to Jackson; black gospel from The Swan Silvertones to The Harmonizing Four and white gospel from the Phipps and Carter Families to the Southern Journey recordings. Do you see a pattern here? If so, please let me know... :-)

The last four recordings I've bought were by Fountains of Wayne, a mandolin,viola, lute and violin quartet recording of works by F.G. Guiliani,the 75th Anniversary CD by the Dixie Hummingbirds and the soundtrack to Big County..

When ever I go and visit someone's house, I have a good look at their music collection. It can tell you so much about a person. Anyone who bought the recent Mojo special on the Stones would have read an article of Keith Richards where it discribes his 2500 records, which included Blind Willie McTell, Kraftwerk, Stevie Wonder, George Benson, The Gladiators, Gregory Isaacs, and Robert Johnson, amongst others. I would love to know what people like Dylan, Nic Jones, and Dick Gaughan have in their record collection.

I don't know how many I have: about 500 albums and 350 cds and 250 singles, I think. A lot of rock: Who, Kinks, Stones, Fab Four, Bowie, punk, Focus, Dylan, Byrds, Band ; blues from Charlie Patton to Howling Wolf; folk from Bob Davenport to Nic Jones; lots of soul; jazz: Mingus, 'trane, Gil Evans, Monk; the great american songbook as sung by Bing and Frank, and lots of other things.

So if I was to wander into your house, what sort of album collection would I find?
