An Update on My New Year’s Resolution Five Albums in
Springsteen and Parsons and Oysters, oh my!
2022 is the year I embrace music and reclaim the joy of listening to albums. So far I’m off to a rip-roaring start and ready to elevate this resolution to one of the best ideas ever (thanks Nia Simone McLeod).
Of course, it’s early days. According to research, January 12 is the statistical day most resolutions crumble. I’m writing on January 1, so I have to get in my gloating quickly while I’m still riding the optimistic New Year’s resolution high.
You can read more about my resolution here, but basically, the plan is to listen to as many albums as I can this year from beginning to end. I’m asking for recommendations so please give me your suggestions. I’ll add it to the list, give a listen, and report back here tagging you.
Springsteen
My first suggestions came from Paul Combs. Since I tagged him directly and asked for Springsteen album recommendations, the speed with which he answered wasn’t surprising. Paul’s love, knowledge, and evangelical Springsteen fervor is legendary.
“Start with Born to Run, no question. Then The River and Darkness on the Edge of Town. It will change your life,” was his almost instantaneous reply.
