new cary v12 needs new music


i am going to purchase some new music later today so that i can kick back and really appreciatemy newest addition to my system
the cary v12 has been a complete pleasure to listen to thus far, very smooth, utterly engaging and musical, no fatigue whatsoever
the rogue 88 amp the cary replaced was a very nice amp i thoroughly enjoyed owning and listening to, but the cary is a far more refined creature altogether

anyway, i would like to solicit some cd recommendations from the audiogon family.
i enjoy rock, pop, and especially good acoustic ensembles and jazz.
recently i listened to a cyrus chestnut cd and was very taken with the sound
i am also considering adding something from hot tuna or jorma kaukonen to my collection today
i think this may give you an impression of what i have in mind and what i like
widespread panic, gov't mule and dave matthews are also on a short list of mine for todays purchase
i listen to just about everything, so any recommendation is cool

ok, i'll let audiogon speak and i will listen
thanks in advance

I picked up Dave Alvin and the Guilty Men, "Out in California" after reading about it as the Stereophile ROTM. I haven't been able to stop listening to it since I got it, it's fabulous! Very highly recommended!!
I would have two instant reccomendations:
Mark Knopfler "The Ragpicker's Dream"
Johnny Cash "American IV,The Man Comes Around"

Unbelievably good fidelity,

I like Cyrus Chestnut's 'The Darkness Before the Dawn' a lot but Shirley Horn's 'You Won't Forget Me' is still in heavy rotation on my system. Shirley plays as well as she sings. The guest soloists are Miles Davis, Toots Thielmans , Branford and Wynton Marsalis. No wonder.
How about Kevin Mahogany's "Seft Portrait"? Cyrus Chestnut was featured in one of the tracks. This is a must own jazz vocal CD in my opinion. Happy listening!
thanks so far
jond, i really enjoyed the dave alvin and the guilty men
any more suggestions???
