'Artistic Vice' was the first album on which Daniel Johnston fronted a band.

While all of his albums are concept records to some degree, this one tells a story on a larger scale, offering an imagistic framework that allows for some of his brightest melodies, heaviest themes (the feeling of before the fall and after), and most direct and vulnerable lyrics.

A Christmas Album was originally released in October 1967. Barbra Streisand recorded four Christmas songs in London on June 25, 1966 while she was in London performing Funny Girl at the Prince of Wales Theatre. According to producer Ettore Stratta, Barbra insisted on different interpretations without traditional arrangements for these songs. Streisand recorded the rest of the album in September 1966 while she was in Hollywood filming the Funny Girl movie. Of the variety of both secular and religious songs included on the album, the standout track is Barbra’s “new” adaptation of the classic holiday song “Jingle Bells?” with the “?” added by Barbra! The track captures Barbra’s freewheeling vocal complete with jazzy dramatics. Upon it’s original release, the album spent five weeks at #1 on the Billboard Christmas chart and the album has been certified quadruple platinum by the RIAA with sales of more than five million copies in the United States.

Christmas Memories was originally released on October 30, 2001 but was never available on vinyl. And now the vinyl is finally here!
From the Associated Press review of Christmas Memories:
“For those tired of hearing acts reinvent the Christmas wheel with revamped versions of Yuletide favorites, Barbra Streisand’s Christmas Memories will be a delightful treat. Sometimes it takes a voice with the power and serenity of Streisand’s to make you appreciate just how special these songs can be, such as the wistful ‘I’ll Be Home For Christmas’ or the longing ‘What Are You Doing New Year’s Eve?’ Even though the disc doesn’t contain many Christmas standards - much of the material is new - contemporary songs are strong enough that they can stand with such timeless classics as ‘Ave Maria.’”

He takes fans on a trip through the heart of Ft. Worth he knows best, the things he holds dear, and the people and places that shaped him. Featuring production by Ian Fitchuk (Beyonce, Noah Kahan), Daniel Tashian (Kacey Musgraves), and Tyler Johnson (Harry Styles, Miley Cyrus), Leon describes the album as “somewhat of a self-portrait… I'm excited to share these stories about my home, about nostalgia, about my upbringing, about where I'm from, with all of you. I hope this music brings you back to your roots and your journey.”
