Seems like you already enjoy Jazz a great deal and now you’re digging Country. You realize what the next style of music that you’ll be “aging” into right?…
Just kidding. I’m very okay with becoming a Dead Head, but somebody stop me when the next step is Steely Dan.
Just kidding again, maybe.

Yeah, the soft spot for the Dan gets bigger and bigger as you approach 40. Embrace your destiny.
Studies show this is directly proportional to the amount of time you spend in dentist chairs, or elevators... likely on your way to the dentist.

Fun fact - I saw Lukas Nelson (with Tyler Childers!) at Great American Music Hall in 2018 and Bob Weir came out to play on 3-4 songs. It’s such a fantastic venue, probably my favorite in SF.

For me, it was Jonathan Richman.
Do you know how weird people look at me when I say things like "I only own about 8 Jonathan Richman albums"? They are either disappointed (my people), or confused how only = eight (gtfo).
You just have to be a real big fan of country to like this pick. I love it personally, but country is probably my favorite genre.
For My Broken Heart. Hasn’t been pressed since 1991.
I'm excited for the Reba pick. I agree that the production is a bit dated but it's a great album that deserves a repress. To me, this and Merle are the two most country picks. I feel like the rest of them are very much mainstream artists so far.

I'd agree with that assessment. I really like certain types of country (Outlaw, etc.) but I don't pretend like everything is in my wheelhouse and this is certainly one of those picks. I think it's an okay pick, particularly of this era. But I would advise everyone to listen to it first. It's not the no risk disc that I think the other two picks of this quarter are.

How many Richman records do you need to qualify as a weirdo? Also do Modern Lovers records also qualify? I am up to 2 solos after RSD, I will eventually add Modern Lovers debut but I am still holding out hope of either finding a good copy of the 1986 reissue with the bonus tracks at a reasonable price or it’s eventually reissued.

I am only at 3 with those two recent reissues and that '86. Just missed bidding on Modern Lovers 88 although they have been a little too pricey for me. Hope Craft reissues that one next if that's possible. Or maybe Rockin' and Romance.

Modern Lovers DEFINITELY qualifies for Jonathan Richman.
Especially if you take into consideration the albums that were "Modern Lovers" albums without them being the original band. Live? Rock N Roll with the Modern Lovers? Totally Modern Lovers in name only for me.
And I am with @dhodo that Modern Lovers 88 and Rockin' and Romance should be slated next, they are fabulous.
