Thanks for all these responses. I don’t recall if I discovered this in 2024, but I sure listened to it a lot last year when in the mood for “subtle nuance and haunting beauty “.

Anders Jormin, Lena Willemark, Karin Nakagawa, Jon Fält “Pasado en Claro”

CD:  Convergence, Malia and Boris Blank. Terrific headphone album, great base lines/effects, in-ur-ear, enveloping vocals.  especially... Fever, Smouldering Ashes, Tears Run Dry...

Also, Joni Mitchell title song from Night Ride Home and Passion Play...well recorded and mixed.   And another shout out to Radio Paradise!

Whisky Myers--discovered in 2023 but saw live at RR in 2024

Blackberry Smoke--they've been around for years but i'd never heard

Nathaniel Rateliff (solo)--i'd heard with Nightsweats but he's pretty good solo too

Amanda Anne Platt and the Honeycutters

I've come across plenty of talented artists but encounter few CDs that I like enough to buy. 

My discovery is that streaming beats albums.  I bought a new streamer and DAC and it's been life changing.

I first heard this album a few weeks ago and had to have it.  It's an older album, originally released in 1989 by The Tragically Hip-a Canadian band.  The album is titled "Up to Here".  My version is a remaster by Music on Vinyl.  For fans of 70's rock its a great disc.  To me it sounds like a mix of Bad Co with some guitar elements from the first 3 BOC albums thrown in.  I'm 67  and can't believe I've never heard of them before.  A fun little time machine ride.

Man,that's a hard question to answer...I have bought so many cds and vinyl lps.
