Pullin from the Stacks - Paths to Victory

Across 110th Street 9/27/25

Been doing a fair amount of travel and digging the last couple months, making finds at antique shops as well as the floor-level bins at record stores. Taking chances on things when I can and selecting a few others from the wall if it's a fair price and I likely won't see it again. Here's a good mix of what I've grabbed recently, super eclectic, dig in!

Tracklist: Roy Brown, Liana Pascalini and the Internationals, Walfredo de los Reyes, Trio Fronteras Mondiales, Kebnekrise, Dance Caravan, Blues Project, Kassa, Stanford Mendicants, Triste Janero
