Abner Jay - True Story of Abner Jay

The Good Thing selection for August 2018.

Another Little Tandem staple from way back in the day. This album was originally given to me by my good friend and coffee expert Dillon Edwards back when were both honing our coffee skills at Blue Bottle Coffee. Dillon had 2 copies for some reason and gave me his extra. In return I gave him my extra copy of Louis’ Hello Dolly. I think I got the better end of the deal for this record is a true masterpiece. Full of stories, life lessons and and heavy themes like “Cocaine”, “Vietnam” and “The Reason Young People Use Drugs”, one or 2 copies of this record belong in every collection.
