Album Side?
We're on the way home from a football game in Winston-Salem early this evening and Public Radio is playing "roots music." The featured songs in this session are from Allison Krauss and Robert Plant from a CD they released recently "Raising Sand." I mention that we're hearing the third straight song from the duo and Christina--my wife--says, "Yes, they must be playing an album side."
"Yeah," I say, "except for two small things: They don't make albums anymore and CDs don't have sides. Otherwise, I think you're right."
Good music, by the way. Krauss is positively luminous, sounding like Burnadette Peters signing Broadway gypsy on one stirring song.
Followup
Well, I'll be hornswaggled: Somebody who left his name as "robertplantfan," posted the following message: "Actually they DO make albums still. Robert Plant is one of the few artists around who has his albums also released on vinyl. 'Raising Sand' did, in fact, have a vinyl version." My apologies to the audiofiles.
