Hey, what's going on?
It's Kevin Kenney inside Grimey's New and Pre-Loved Music for a brand [Am] new episode of
On the Record [E] here with the boys of Midland.
What's going on?
How you [A] doing?
We're going to send each of [E] you out to choose a record.
Each of you will [D] have a different category.
You will have the most [A] influential record.
You will have [E] a record that, you know, your song is called Drinking Problems.
I want you to pick a record out that is great to drink to, to have a good time, to throw
on, [Ab] relax, enjoy yourself.
That's easy.
And then you will have the record that you [C] wish you could have been on [E] outside of your genre.
Simple enough?
Yep.
Alright, cool.
3, 2, 1, [D] go.
Wait, is this like a time thing?
We got like a matter of [Eb] time?
Where's the Slayer section?
[F]
[G] Rolling down the road in the heart of Texas, driving back to
[Ab] I'm going to guess that it's a Gary Stewart album.
I would guess the same.
You know what?
They [A] didn't have it.
Oh, they didn't have a [E] Gary Stewart.
Oh shit, so next best?
It [Bb] would have been Gary Stewart.
I'm going to have to go Bruce [E] Springsteen, Darkness on the Edge of Town.
Alright, final [A] answer?
I'm going to say Jackson Browne, Running on Empty.
It [Em] is
[Bm] [E] Darkness on the Edge of Town.
I mean, just as an [A] album that you can listen to top to [Am] bottom, you know, it's like I just
listen to the [G] full album.
Bruce [E] Springsteen [A] and the E Street Band, as far as [Bb] their live show goes, you [E] know, we
take a lot of pride [Em] in [Gb] our live show and [Em] for us that's the ultimate.
And we could talk about Bruce all [G] day.
[B] As a New Jersey native, I [Em] totally coast on that one.
[E] Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Cool.
We [A] didn't even know that.
There you [B] go.
[G] Watching cigarettes burn out.
I'm going to say maybe a Marvin Gaye album.
What's going [Bb] on?
Is there anything out there?
Marvin [A] Gaye is a really good [Ab] guess.
I'm going to say, just because we saw them last [G] night, it's fresh in [Gb] our minds.
I'm going to say Fire. Oh, wow.
Okay.
Both great picks.
Drumroll please.
[F] Wait, why does he have [A] multiple albums?
It's actually a band [F] called Goblin Cock.
[C] [F] And the name is Necro [Db] [D]
-Pamudokikongumakong.
I mean, best band ever.
Best band name I've ever seen.
Maybe in my entire life.
[G] I'll give you the real one.
The record on it.
Oh, I've heard it.
So, Dock of [F] the Bay, the song, is to [G] me the greatest [Eb] written song of all time [Bb] and potentially
the greatest recording of a song of [Db] all time.
I think he [C] did two vocal takes of it [Bb] and the last one he did [Am] was right before he died.
[C] That just goes to [Db] show you, you can always [G] overdo recording.
Bruce Springsteen wrote and recorded that album [B] over, I think, [C] two years and he re-recorded it.
He re-recorded lyrics.
[Bb] He [C] did two takes of this.
This is the [Bm] best vocal ever recorded.
[E] People say I've got a [Bm] drinking problem.
Next.
I would [B] say Joe [A] Cocker's Mad Dogs and the Englishman [F] because [E] that record [Em] is just [C] blistering with [G] soul.
I'm gonna second that [Bb]
because it's, isn't [E] that your alarm?
It is [A] my alarm.
This [E] is probably one of my all-time top ten albums ever.
[Gb]
Produced by the legendary [F] Leon Russell, [Gb] Joe Cocker.
[B] But you guys [Bb] are fucking wrong.
[Bm] What it is, [Em] so this is Doug Salm's [E] first album.
They had like [C] Flaco Jimenez [G] and Bob [Db] Dylan played on [Gb] this.
This was [Em] all cut live.
It's all tracked [Ab] live and there's such a [G] joy and a [D] spirit to [C] this.
It matches [E] his shirt.
[Am] And it matches my shirt.
Let's face [C] it, man.
It was a wardrobe [E] decision.
It really [D] does.
That's really weird.
[G] Really appreciate you [E] taking the time [Eb] to come to Grimey's and [A] hang out with us and play
on the record.
Thanks, [E] man.
And by the [G] way, go [C] get this if you're into
Yeah, if you [G] guys [E] [Am] Goblins.
[G] Or
[Db] Or if you're into [Bb] goblins, [Db] or you're [Bb]
into
[E] That's [G] it.
[E] [Bm]
