Song of the Week - "These Boots Are Made for Walkin'" by Nancy Sinatra

Last week we listened to "Don't Let the Sun Catch you Cryin'" by Gerry and the Pacemakers. I wasn't planning on staying in the 60s this week, but I finally stumbled upon a nice copy of this record in my favorite used record store. Nancy Sinatra released her debut album Boots in 1966. And here is her hit song, "These Boots Are Made for Walkin'."

Listen to the Song of the Week every Wednesday at 10am and 10pm, Central.  Watch the video below, featuring the original video made by Nancy Sinatra for video-jukeboxes. 

God Only Knows, the Vinyl Voyage Song of the Week

I've been on a Beach Boys kick for a bit. Never a big fan of the band, I recently purchased the 50th anniversary mono pressing of Pet Sounds from 1966.  It was an essential album to have in my collection, that is for sure.

I listened to it for the first time in a long time and was blown away.

Although I was never much of a Beach Boys fan, I've always regarded "God Only Knows" as one of the best songs ever written.  The harmonies, the sentiment, the instrumentation -- all come together in a perfect 3 minute pop song.  It doesn't get better than this song.

"God Only Knows" is the Vinyl Voyage "Song of the Week."  Listen to our breakdown of the song, today at 10 am and 10 pm Central.

Listen to the mono version played below.
