Today's vinyl drawing ... "When I Said I Wanted To Be Your Dog" by Jen's Lekman. This album is so calming. It's a beautiful melancholy. One of my favorite tracks is "You Are The Light (by which I travel into this and that)." "Yeah I got busted so I used my one phonecall to dedicate a song to you on the radio... And it was you 'cause you are the light by which I travel into this and that. You are the light. You are the light by which I travel into this and that." But another few that I really enjoy are "Happy Birthday, Dear Friend Lisa" "The Cold Swedish Winter" and "When I Said I Wanted to Be Your Dog." Who am I kidding? I can't honestly choose favorites from this album. #vinyllent #shandkevinyldrawings . . . . . . #shandkedailysketch #illustration #jenslekman #whenisaidiwantedtobeyourdog #vinyligclub #vinyljunkie #vinylcollection #nowspinning #youarethelightbywhichitravelintothisandthat #ahigherpower #drawingoftheday #draweveryday #vinyloftheday

Today lent vinyl is of course a Johnny Cash album. I actually ended up drawing the wrong album cover, but I really enjoy this one. Of course, I've long known Johnny Cash's music, but my first real Cash listening experience was after the hubby brought home the 3-disc CD set "Love God Murder." And the album I intended to draw tonight included the song "Were You There (When They Crucified My Lord). It's the perfect Easter song. Sometimes it causes me to tremble. Such a great song... but once I started listening to our Johnny Cash records, I couldn't stop. #vinyllent #shandkevinyldrawings . . . . . . . #johnnycash #wereyoutherewhentheycrucifiedmylord #drawingoftheday #illustration #draweveryday #vinylcollection #vinyligclub #vinyloftheday #nowspinning #lent #musicinfluencesart #shandkedailysketch #sketchbook

Today's vinyl drawing is "Of Rivers and Religion" by John Fahey and His Orchestra. It the perfect album for this chilly, sunny afternoon. Perfect for relaxing and contemplating life. I spent some time humming along to "Just As I Am" and "I Come, I Come." And honestly, if you haven't listened to John Fahey before, you're missing out. #vinyllent #shandkevinyldrawings . . . . . . #nowspinning #shandkedailysketch #drawingoftheday #draweveryday #drawing #illustration #justasiam #johnfahey #ofriversandreligion #vinyljunkie #vinylcollection #vinyligclub #guitarist #folk #blues #relaxingsaturday

Today's vinyl of the day is raw, unadulterated, and timeless. I still recall the first time I saw Over the Rhine live. It I was in Kansas City with my good friend @melodylittlefield .... and more recently my dear friend @hewhoisfamous helped me rediscover what first attracted me to their music. They've created powerful music that draws your soul in ... they say it best, "It's unsettling when someone named Jesus keeps turning up in unexpected places on a double album..." Honestly, there isn't enough room here to write all of my thoughts about this powerful album. But one of my personal favorites is "Long Lost Brother" - "I wanna do better. I wanna try harder. I wanna believe down to the letter. Jesus and Mary can you carry us across this ocean into the arms of forgiveness." And then in the song, "Changes Come," the prayerful song perfectly states the way I feel during these days. The concluding lyrics say "Jesus come. Turn the world around. Lay my burden down. Bring this world around. Bring the whole thing down. Bring it down." So yeah ... it's deep. So much to soak in here ... and it's a perfect album for this lent season. #vinyllent #shandkevinyldrawings . . . . . #shandkedailysketch #draweveryday #drawingoftheday #lent #music #overtherhine #illustration #nowspinning #ohio #longlostbrother #drawingoftheday #vinylcollection #vinyligclub #vinyljunkie #nowspinning
