Needles & Grooves AoTM /// Vol. 5 - November 2019 /// Ruen Brothers "All My Shades of Blue" (2018)

So I finally got around to spinning. Really nice pressing and very much enjoy. Several highlights throughout: "All My Shades of Blue", "Finer Things" (love rock with horn sections), "Motor City", "Aces" and "Summer Sun" stood out (yes, that's a lot and it's (y)(y)). Plus this was new to me. Great pick, once again!

Have given this a listen too. Liked the version of Make The World Go Away. Decent price on amazon too

@ThePakoBuelna GOT THE ALBUM TODAY!!!!

Gonna give it a spin when i get home this evening! Thanks a ton! Loving this project from top to bottom!!!
I had some mail waiting for me when I got home too. Unfortunately I might have to wait until next week to spin it because I'm leaving tomorrow for a wedding out of state and I still haven't packed anything yet, but I'm excited to give it a good listen!View attachment 19998


Glad you are all enjoying the pick! Be sure to drop by on the AMA thread and leave some questions.
 
I've streamed the album twice, but I'm not sure this is really something I would spin. The sound sound a bit too dated for my tastes, but it inspired me to ask a question in the AMA thread.

I'll let it sleep for a time in my mind and try again by the end of the month.
 
Just a reminder to send your questions before I send them away! You have until Wednesday or Thursday!

 
Hey @ThePakoBuelna - apologies if I missed this - but how did you discover this artist/album??

I first saw them open for Cafe Tacvba in Los Angeles last year. I was blown away by the music and charisma of the band and I personally loved the voice and old school style is rock and roll they have, plus they ended with a Johnny B. Goode cover with Cafe Tacvba's bassist(Quique Rangel, who I love).Chatted with them after the concert, they were at the merch booth, bought the album and here we are lol.

By the way the still have a few dates around the US if you are able to catch them!
 
Great pick ! - Really have played this a lot and love it. Granted Ive streamed more than span (just because ive have a few train journeys recently) but yeah.... great work once again.
Really added some great music I wouldn't have picked up otherwise. Thanks to all these threads !

No pressure @Joe Mac ...............................................

The pick has been made for better or worse. The questions now are:
Can you all guess it?
Do you all have taste?

can I make a potentially insane comment?
no? well, here it is.
The Ruen brothers' singer voice reminds me of Cher!
