Tuesday "New look" thread. Whoo hoo big whup!

[Mike]

Copper Temple Clause - Kick up the flames....pretty solid album

Josh Ritter - Hello Starling, outstanding album probably the best in a long time in the folk genre. I recommend it to anybody.

Lemonjelly - Lost Horizons

Yello - Essential, wacky 80's electronica from a couple of Swiss blokes

Jet - Get Born

Inspired Baubles - my best of the year comp, but I wish I'd included a Josh Ritter track now.

Jazz comp

ps Jim I'm glad you sort of liked the Dave Brubeck Cd there's a track from it on my classic jazz comp I've just posted today to you.

Cheers

Hi Mike, that is a good album. I've had the Snow is Gone song (which is kind of like the tilte track) in my song bucket for my year-end comp for awhile now but not sure what to do with it yet. I'll probably pick a different song or maybe wind up leaving this album for a different comp since it doesn't fit in too well with the other songs on the comp. Really nice early Dylan crossed with Steve Earle feel through much of it with maybe a bit of Bob Neuwirth in his voice as well. Lots of good songs. Americana, love it or leave it :-)

BTW, speaking of Americana, they did have a really nice writeup at the http://www.americana-uk.com/html/september_03.html site a couple months ago which is what initially interested me in it. They might have gone just a little overboard with praise but I do like it a lot, as apparently do you.
