Never heard either parent ever once even mention opera
An album called Caruso Operatic Rarities. There’s a photo of a man in an old suit and a bowler hat who looks like he’s about to send Indiana Jones to the other side of the world.

Remember this one though
Record called Elvis Sings for Children (and Grownups Too!). Center is a photo of Elvis with a microphone. Background is crayons and scribbles and those lousy scissors you have to use in elementary school.

And yes, I did get a quote from Patterson Hood from the Drive-By Truckers, just a total delight to chat with.
judgment that if alive today, Buford Pusser would be indicted for the murder of his wife, more than 60 years of myth seems to be challenged. “I’m absolutely delighted that the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation finally got onto it,” Wilson tells me. Patterson Hood, co-founder of the Drive-By Truckers, whose 2004 album, The Dirty South, included three songs puncturing the Pusser myth, is more pointed when I ask him about the new developments: “I said all along that he was a piece of shit!” Hood says. “It was also pretty common knowledge back in those days that he was no better than the people he was fighting — and maybe even worse, because he had a badge and that made him extra powerful.”
