The last volume of the 50's comp is finally here. And though I would guess a high percentage of people who frequent this blog have probably heard Miles Davis' "So What" and Elvis Presley's "I'm Left, You're Right, She's Gone" many times already in their lives, I still thought they were apropos to, respectively, open and close this volume. It's a little late so I'm having a hard time articulating my thoughts, but they just seem like perfect choices to capture the 50's music aesthetic. At any rate, hope people like the less well known cuts, too. I also confess that I'm already thinking of doing some additional volumes at some point down the line so I'm open to any suggestions people might have.
