An oasis amid a sea of mediocrity.

This joint covers only about 1000 to 1500 square feet, but the selection is refreshing. On a recent trip - we enjoy the downtown Homewood neighborhood for shopping and hanging out, in general - we found some unusual Blue Note jazz and a hearty selection of 1970s pop CDs that we had forgotten about (but we are now extremely happy to have added back into our collection, as our vinyl copies are long gone). The folk and blues selections were delightful, with many older recordings that we would never expect to find in a big chain store. The staff was extremely helpful, and were able to answer our questions quickly and with ease. We were also impressed with their selection of NEW vinyl, which apparently is a recent addition to the store (within the last year or two).
