Recent albums from the Personal Conservatory

• Record #82 12 January 2010
  While waiting for some paint to dry this weekend, I reached in and dug out an album from 1972 which was recorded at The Hit Factory in New York. Jim Croce You Don’t Mess Around With Jim This ABC Records album may not feature “Bad, Bad Leroy Brown” but it is certainly one of those albums that fits the [...] […]
• Contributor Identification 11 January 2010
  As you can tell we’ve started having contributors, yay for more updates! I am still going to keep counting up the records for The Personal Conservatory Project, but I thought it would be nice to start including albums other people have taken the time to listen and share their thoughts on (from their own collections).

Today we head back to May of 1966! Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass What Now My Love  What Now My Love became Herb Alpert’s longest lasting [...] […]
• Record #79 21 May 2009
  Vocal hits remanufactured as brass instrumentals: Nashville Brass Turns To Gold Danny Davis And The Nashville Brass  There are lots of styles and music which gives me a ‘pick-me-up’ and one of them is most certainly the sound of brass. I pulled this album out one morning to get me on the mood to cook and clean. Before [...] […]
