November 2024 – Darren Scott
Elvis Presley — Self Titled
Hello friends this is Darren Scott coming at you from The Sonic Collective. We just finished our 10th year anniversary episode, and I just want to say huge congrats to us again for doing anything for 10 years is tough, it’s a fun group that we have with Alain, Scott, Scott, and myself Darren Scott and I could not be happy to keep this going. This milestone got me thinking about influential albums and the influences on the records being made today but really after 10 years now I just started to think about my personal influences like what was I listening to when I was a little kid and instantly there’s two things a pop in my head.
I have vivid memories of listening to my Simpson Sears Mickey Mouse turntable, it was a thing, ha ha, I’ll post a picture of it on our blog so check that out at thesoniccollective.com. I had several records and one I remember was like a compilation of Beatles hits which I absolutely loved. I remember Hey Jude always stood out to me. But my favourite album I remember was just a K-Mart compilation album I got that was all Elvis Presley hits. I do remember the big hit on that was ‘Teddy Bear’, which funny enough isn’t on this album I’m about to pick. just loved it I mean it was really fun rock music and this was 1975.
I want you to take a musical journey back to the beginning of the Elvis era with us this month. The music from that era was so fun. So listen along and then watch for the episode the first week of December 2024 to hear what the group thought of this iconic album that kicked off a career that is still resonating in popular culture. It’s time to dive in to the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll!
A special shout out to my good friend Sharie’s parents, Art and Sandra Zimmerman. Nobody loves Elvis more than those two (Especially Sandra, in a mildly disturbing way… ha ha ha. Luckily he isn’t still alive for Art.). Happy 50th Weddding Anniversary to them.
