Merry Christmas from Dallas Y'all...

Got too much going on right now to spend much time around here, but Jukeboxmafia will be back in 2010. Woo Hoo!

New Banner and Finished Logo

Hey Y'all, check out the new banner and the "Official" completed version of the new logo. In the next month are so I will be working on putting together some official Jukeboxmafia merch. Stay tuned...

New Logo!

Many thanks to my good friend Jason Crow for designing the new Jukeboxmafia Logo! What do Y'all think?
Q: If a T-shirt or a sticker existed with this design would you want one?
p.s. He also designed our current banner...

Things are still hectic this summer, so until I muster the energy to return to regular music postings, please enjoy this photo taken by my cow-obsessed wife...

Back from Austin... (w/ pics)

Well, the trip to Austin for the record convention was a big success. I bought a bunch of reissue LPs of New Orleans R&B and Soul that once graced my collection but have regrettably left me for one reason or another. I found nearly everything on my wants list, had some great BBQ and picked up a pile of 45s too.

Retail shopping...


The Haul...

I'll be back soon to post some of what I found...

WVON LP Label Scan

I found this LP in pretty messed up condition and without a sleeve, but just couldn't resist this label. This is a comp of pretty straight forward doo wop and early R&B songs (like the one below) put out by legendary Chicago radio station WVON, which was owned by the Chess brothers. The faces around the edge are the on air personalities at that time. The Magnificent Montague, for some reason, has been punched out. For a full history of WVON (which is still on the air today), Go Here:
