    Heather Waters ~ Shadow of You

    Third Road Home ~ Venus in Retrograde

    Mark Seliger's Rusty Truck ~ Broken Promises

    Deadstring Brothers ~ S/T

    Real music at its best!

    Hey, cool, nice to see you around these parts again Dave. Got the new Deadstring Brothers coming out tomorrow at the top of my list. Starving Winter Report. Lots to like about those Detroit cowboys. Got a real Stonesy take on Americana.

    Hey Davey. Yeah, Deadstring Brothers are realitivly new discovery for me. I'm looking forward to their new release as well, but probably won't get to hear it until this weekend.

    I spun a bunch of Porcupine Tree this week as mentioned in another thread...Stupid Dream, Lightbulb Sun, In Absentia.

    Also Sister Hazel's self-titled disk. I still don't understand why this band hasn't seen more commercial success. They've got all the elements for some serious radio play...oh yeah...they also happen to be good (IMHO)...maybe that's why the radio doesn't play them more.

    Klaatu's orchestral version of Hope, which is my current addiction.

    Al Stewart - Between the Wars

    Chris DeBurgh - Spanish Train and Other Stories - I'm trying to play Lonely Sky on my guitar, but the vocal range is killing me!

    New Pornographers - Twin Cinema

    Incubus - A Crow Left of the Murder

    A couple of goodies spring to mind from either side of the pond

    Beth Orton - Comfort of Strangers, produced by Jim O Rourke it's more of a move back to her folky acoustic roots and with that fantastic voice it's a real grower, plus it's nice to hear an album that isn't compressed to the max. Davey you might like this.

    Ian Love - Self titled album, dont know much about this guy but he hails from a punk background with hard drinking and rehab, but listening to this he's taken a bit of a u-turn. It's a very nice acoustic affair.

    NP Sufjan Stevens - Casamir Pulaski Day, just can't seem to stop playing this...

    Cheers
    Mike

    I don't have it yet Dave. Only listened to the three full mp3 songs that have been out there for a few months, but it was released in Europe last year so has gotten some good press. Might make a sojourn to the record store today myself, but lately all I've been spinning is that excellent new Steve Wynn ...tick...tick...tick CD, which was coincidentally released in Europe last year as well, but not until a few weeks ago here.

    That John Fahey CD is pretty cool. Some of us were just talking about him, and a bunch of tangents, and relations, over at Head-Fi last month ... http://www5.head-fi.org/forums/showt...26#post1886126 ... are you a very big fan? That CD you played is actually the only one I have.

    Grabbed Starving Winter Report today and it is very tasty. I'll have it rotation for an extended period.

    I'm a pretty big Fahey fan - but I'm a bigger Leo Kottke fan. Most folks seem to prefer Transfiguration, but I really like I Remember Blind Joe Death better. Don't really know why, but 20 some-odd years had passed and I just liked where Fahey was at that particular point in time. Now the original Blind Joe Death is a masterpiece and is what set the standard for folks like Leo Kottke, Peter Lang (for the short time he was with us) and others to measure themselves against. Just my opinion mind you.

    If you get a chance to check out the John Fahey, Leo Kottke & Peter Lang collaboration, do so - it is knock you on your knees good.

    Willy Porter!

    Dave like to see the Willy Porter there- incredible acoustic player and songwriter and not a bad singer either. I met him after a couple of shows, he's a super nice guy. If any of you get the chance and are into the guitar you should check this guy out. He plays a lot of small venues which makes the experience even better. From Milwaukee.

    At my shack:

    Willy Porter- Live Wire

    Andrew Bird- Weather Systems- Andrew is classicaly trained on the violin and does a lot of sampling, whistling. He tours by himself or with his drummer Dosh also incredible live.

    Ray Lamontagne- Trouble- Amazing singer introduced to me by a friend in Pittsburgh. He sounds a little like Joe Cocker.

    Coleman Hawkins- Nighthawk- One of my personal favorite tenor sax players.

    Freddie Hubbard
