Just a rambling Friday observation, but I've played the same three albums numerous times this week. These aren't new releases. But some I just randomly pulled off the shelf this week after not having listened to them in a while. They're all three from different genres. But honestly, these three are as good as any I own. I've enjoyed them immensly. To these not-so-golden ears, there's not a stinker song on any of them.

What are they you ask?

Damien Rice - O (quality, intimate recording)

Joe Strummer and the Mescaleros - Streetcore (what a great combo of rock, punk?, reggae, with a twinge of alt-country)

Guy Clark - Cold Dog Soup (don't know that I've ever heard a better folk/americana album - my thanks to tentoze for introducing this one to me)

This ever happen to you guys? Listen to an album and say "can it get any better than this?".
