Oooh, This I Need: Adam Mattera Talks 'Dearly Beloved: A Prince Songbook'

Dearly Beloved Prince Songbook

Last year, The Second Disc had nothing but good things to say about Dearly Beloved: A Prince Songbook, Cherry Red's triple-disc tribute to the music of Prince. The set told a story of The Artist's massive impact on pop, rock and soul by way of songs he gave others to record and a galaxy of genre-bending covers. In a year of considerable challenges in Prince fandom, it was a veritable oasis in a desert. Earlier this year, I had the pleasure of speaking with Adam Mattera, the curator and

Tomorrow, Record Store Day is once again upon us! It's that time of year where music lovers and vinyl flippers get together at their favorite physical music retailers and wait in line to snag some treasured albums - almost all of which are pressed on vinyl instead of CD (or, you know, sold on secondary marketplaces for above their retail value).  This year, the list tops out at over 300 titles, so there's very nearly something for everybody.  It wasn't easy to narrow our choices down to around

Even Robert Christgau couldn't get it right all the time. The self-professed "dean of American rock critics" sniffed at Roberta Flack's Quiet Fire in 1971 thusly: "Flack is generally regarded as the most significant new black woman singer since Aretha Franklin, and at moments she sounds kind, intelligent, and very likable. But she often exhibits the gratuitous gentility you'd expect of someone who says 'between you and I.'" At this juncture, Flack was three albums into a tenure with Atlantic
