John Scott's Staff Pick: March 30, 2023

What’s up Sorry State readers? I hope everyone has had a nice week. This beautiful weather we’ve been having here in Raleigh has put me in the mood to listen to some pretty music, and what better time to bust out this Cher record Dominic introduced me to a couple weeks ago. All I Really Want to Do is Cher’s debut solo studio album from 1965, when she was only twenty years old. It’s full of a lot of great covers like C.C. Rider and He Thinks I Still Care, but my favorite on here has to be her cover of Don’t Think Twice. I pretty much love any version of this song, but this one has grown to be one of my favorites since I heard it. Cher has such a great voice and I feel like it shines on this debut. The best part about this record is I got it out of the bargain bin, as it doesn’t command too high of a price. So many of my favorite records have just come from bargain bins and it blows me away when people kinda just skip that whole section of the store when they come in. One of my favorite things to do before I started working here at Sorry State was to come in and just dig around in the bins and see what I could find and I’d always walk away with some great stuff and spend less than $20. It makes it a lot easier tho when you have a coworker like Dom to point you in the right direction of the good shit. Anyway I’m gonna enjoy these blue skies, I hope everyone has a great weekend!
