My Dad 8 Years Later ( + His Record Collection)

My Dad played a big part in my own eclectic tastes in music. So, here's a Father's Day gift in his memory.  Below is a list, as I remember it, of his vinyl collection.  I heard these records many times. Lots of Country and Pop vocalists.  I may be missing a few titles.  Most are from the early 70's.  I've got some of these in my own collection, but many of these are out of print and have never been released on CD or digitally (as of February 2016).
