The unending appeal of vinyl records

from This Is Nashville · host WPLN News - Nashville Public Radio

For decades, vinyl was the primary medium for recording and listening to music. As technology advanced, CDs and digital downloads became the norm, and records fell by the wayside. However, for the past decade or so, vinyl has enjoyed an incredible renaissance. Some people say they prefer the sound of vinyl. Others say they enjoy the ritual of selecting and playing a record. Still others say it just looks cool.  In this episode, we talk to record store owners, musicians and collectors about the business of pressing records and vinyl's lasting appeal. But first, WPLN Senior Editor Chas Sisk breaks down the new Tennessee laws that go into effect on July 1. Guests:  Chas Sisk, WPLN senior editor Jason Herndon, founder of Kiss My Wax Records Doyle Davis, co-owner of Grimey's Pat Lucero, record enthusiast M Slago, hip hop artist and music producer Erica Schultz, DJ and host of WXNA's Soul of the City
