I second Fly Fish NZ's recommendations re: Joe Henry and Gillian Welch. They should not be missed. Welch's earlier efforts, "Revival" and "Hell Among the Yearlings" are also great.
Audiogoners-some musical recommendations
It'll be noted by some that I occassionally have a go at Audiogon members for their lack of imagination and investigation for checking out new music.
I don't wish to seem arrogant or a know-it-all but I intend (hopefully with some support)to recommend some music that Audiogon members may have missed-it may be recent,it may be old-this should be similar to what Sd Campbell did with Jazz.
I will focus as well on the audio quality and obviously describe the music and how immediate it is etc.-I also intend to pick music that I believe most Audiogon members will like or won't be too stretching-so I won't go too obscure or extreme.
Hopefully for a few dollars some members at least will discover some new music that they might have missed.
Of course it will be nigh on impossible to recommend anything that some members won't own or have heard but hopefully the thread relating to that release can remain active for a while and lead to discussion regarding that release-if you do wish to criticise anything please state why and perhaps consider leaving the thread until there is some feedback from those who have checked it out otherwise it may well be counter-productive.
Anyway hopefully these contributions will be worthwhile and will at least be a positive attempt to aid musical discussion on this site.
I will post my first recommendation later today.
