The Anita Kerr Singer - A Tribute to Simon & Garfunkel
I got this open reel tape for three reasons
* Anita Kerr was the architect of the Nashville Sound
* this was an attempt to go countercultural
* it runs as 7.5 IPS
The Nashville Sound gets a lot of hate nowadays. But in its defence, when you hear this music on an open reel tape, it’s impressive. The horns and strings really glow, and the snares have snap.
What’s eyebrow-raising is that, at several moments, this album veers into rock. Yeah, I’m serious. Things get rollicking.
It’s funny, with country music being all bro, people forget that women like Anita Kerr are what made Nashville what it is.
