Roxanne Walsh
My record collector's life started in the 1960s with compilation albums from Bob Dylan and the Rolling Stones that I urged my parents to buy for me. Myself, I just could afford singles from my pocket money. If I recall correctly, the first album I bought myself was the Doors debut album, although that was in 1968 already - prior to that I had recorded their songs with a hand held microphone and a cassette recorder from the family radio. I have not stopped listening and collecting since then.

Roxanne Walsh's Album Reviews
Wisdom does not come with age and the older one gets, the deeper that insight goes - unless you are ignorant.
Still, there is some value to express and share what little we learn by living and getting older. This is what Rodney Crowell does now that he is past 70. This is what we may expect of the elders we respect.
The lyrics on the album are as excellent as anything he has written before (and the standard he set for himself is high) but the musical arrangements are just as brilliant. Each of the 10 songs is a small and very valuable gem.
PS - I am past 60 myself, and I think this perspective is important to see why I value this album that high.
