"RECORDING OF THE WEEK"?????

It may have been done before. If so, please let me know.

So often we are told by a friend about a band, tune, recording that is great…..
We come home with the Disc/Record and enjoy, but few people find out.
There have been many threads here about “recordings to die for” etc..

How about one for new tunes?

To be a bit more detailed about the spirit of my request:
I think everyone knows when Sting releases his new record.
But what about great tunes that the average person would not know about?
If we could share this information in the following format, it might be helpful.

BRUCE HORNSBY
“HERE COME THE NOISE-MAKERS. LIVE-98/99/00”
Live recordings of Bruce and company. Very good live recording, including a couple of Grateful Dead covers. Rock-oriented mix, with a “jam-band” flavor.

If it was kept similar to the format above, as time goes on, the thread could be used as a quick reference for people in search of new tunes.

I would love to hear any suggestions.

What have you found recently worthy of mention?

So it's been a few days, and I really hope this thread keeps a head of steam to it...

I have checked out a few of the suggestions above, and whereas none gave me those tingles everyone here is sure to know, I am always glad to check out new stuff.

To keep it goin, I am going to submit another artist to this thread (it IS Monday after all...new week right???)

Check out Jack Williams' "Eternity And Main". Jack is also a singer/songwriter, but from the South. This man has some SERIOUS soul, and his pickin is UNPARALELLED. You can also check out "Across The Winterline". His first release, "Dreams Of The Songdog" is also good, but a bit more 'commercial' sounding IMO.

You can listen to a few of Jack's cuts using Real Audio at:

Just interested if anyone checked out/enjoyed the Jay Webber suggestion...if not, there are other genre's I can suggest.

A friend turned me onto "carnet de routes" "suite africaine" Just when I was starting to give up on Jazz (nice that the young lions seem to respect thier elders, but am I missing thier contribution?) Rather than Africans amongst Europeans, it's Europeans amongst Africans. Damned if I can tell the difference. Quality music, quailty recording. LABEL Bleu, HDCD, harmonia mundi DISTRIBUTION.

Hmmm, I am totally hooked on the new Nickel Creek CD. Well, sorta new ;>)
I checked out that Jay link, thanks. Cool stuff!

I would love to see this list maintain some steam.

The Diana Krall stuff is well done. Not my style, but well done for sure. Thanks for the suggestions :>)

" This Side Up". Good to possibly very good recording, stellar playing and beautiful compositions.

My current favorite for late night listening is Leonard Cohen's "Ten New Songs". Cohen's low,gravelly voice blends great with his back-up vocalist. Add the vocals to the slow melodies and you have a very relaxing, almost hipnotioc, recording. This cd is very well recorded.

Thanks,
