what are you listening to lately?

Stacey Kent - "Let Yourself Go: Celebrating Fred Astaire" & "Dreamsville"
Rosanne Cash - "10 Song Demo"

I truly appreciate all the responses & have a huge list of new music to discover, i hope others have found this useful, lets keep it rolling.....at this rate i can concentrate on the new music & no more equipment upgrades, (yeah right).

Alright, I was at Costco during lunchtime today and they had The Chieftains "Further Down the Old Plank Road" for $12.99, so I picked it up.

I've listened to the first three tracks and it's a mixed bag. The opening track with Nickel Creek is lackluster and boring. The next track with John Hiatt is okay, but not what I would expect from such a talented pairing. The third track is Allison Moorer. Wow! I've never heard any of her work before, but if this is an indication of what she's all about, I'm hooked. She has a powerful voice reminiscent of Linda Ronstadt in her prime.

My recent purchases (Last week):
Shack ...Here's Tom with the Weather. This is a shack CD through and through. It seems to be much happier, but has the same signature guitar sounds and vocals.

Royksopp - Melody A.M. A nice mixture of background type electronic and electronic pop songs. Very easy on the ears.

Black Rebel Motorcycle Club Take them on on your own. a good rock CD, and not nearly as derivative as their first. Seems they are getting a sound of their own, a little more upbeat and catchy than the first.

Los Lonely Boys - A trio of brother from San Angelo, Texas. nice heart felt rock, along the same lines as Los Lobos, but not quite as diverse. This CD has Willie Nelson's hands in it FWIW.

Turin Brakes The optimist LP - Along the same lines as their second LP which I had bought first. Quiet british indie bordering on folk.

Jposs,
I just finished listening to Los Lonely Boys. I kind of like it. I think I prefer over Lobos myself.
