Yes, there are still people making them, and even prospering at it. Nashville Scene's Michael McCall takes a look at one Nashville company's fight to keep vinyl alive in "Turning Around." McCall also takes a look at one Nashville headquartered label, Compass Records, that is artist owned and run and making a real go at success without the major labels.

Tucson Weekly's Tom Danehy reflects fondly on the life and times of the late Dusty Springfield, who didn't quite live to see herself inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in "Ashes to Ashes, Dusty to Dusty." Other artist looks include Luther Allison, Cesar Rosas, Marvelous 3, and The Iguanas.
