Summary

Like all artists, Elvis Presley drew influence from other singers. Legend has it that one mystery record had a tremendous impact, yet the artist on the record remained a mystery for decades. Chris Kennedy discusses his journey to learn the identity of the mystery singer, Jimmy Sweeney, and the compilation of his life's work on RSD 2020.

If you like records, just starting a collection or are an uber-nerd with a house-full of vinyl, this is the podcast for you. Nate Goyer is The Vinyl Guide and discusses all things music and record-related.
