That Lou Gehrig "Goodbye" always gets me.

That Lou Gehrig "Goodbye" always gets me.

It carries a lot of weight, that's for sure.

The "Last Broadcast from Corregidor" is something I had never heard. I had heard -of it- but didn't realize it's just a Morse code message. Thankfully they have a guy translating it!

More Dutch music. Generally when I'm spinning disks I have very few lights on. This picture is dark AF because I thought I'd post one in my natural environment lol.

However, it isn't as dark as that picture makes it seem, or I'm just used to it.

Slick Black Cadillac is still my favorite off of this record!

[Vyn]

They simply knocked it right out of the park with this record. After a one-two crotch kick from the first two songs, it just doesn't let up.

Surprising and fantastic work of Mark Tremonti from Alterbrige with some musicians whose played with Sinatra himself during his last tour.

the main reason and motivation why Mak made this special album is moving too. "Mark has teamed up with the National Down Syndrome Society (NDSS) to release an album of Frank Sinatra covers titled "Tremonti Sings Sinatra". Frank Sinatra's catalog selections album is being released as part of a new charity initiative created by Tremonti called Take A Chance For Charity. Proceeds from the album – due out May 27 – will go to support NDSS and the work they do to advocate and support people with Down syndrome and their families. Mark and his family were lucky enough to welcome their first daughter Stella last March - and she was born with Down syndrome - and the idea for the project was born. "

Enjoy !

One of the best album of the year
