Time for everbodys Top Ten list.....

I think it's called a lot of things, including Insurgent Country, Country/Folk, Country/Rock, Folk/Rock, Cosmic American Music, Roots music, and Americana. Whatever it is, it's good! And I've been listening to it for a long time, ever since the 60's, so it's definitely been around for a while.

Hard to choose favorites among so many great album, but here goes in no particular order

Coldplay-Rush of Blood to the Head
Dave Matthews/Tim Reynolds-Live at Luther College
Owsley-Owsley
Norah Jones-Come away with Me
Rolling Stones-Beggars Banquet
Duke Ellington-Blues in Orbit
Aimee Mann-Lost in Space
Holly Cole Trio-Don't smoke in the Bed
Steely Dan-Two Against Nature
Nick Drake-Pink Moon

10 good ones I've been playing lately. . .

Warren Zevon "Life'll Kill Ya"
