What's your latest "Discovery"

You know when you buy a new album and it just clicks?! And then you have to play it rather frequently in the mix over and over for the next several days....What's the last album's you bought that really clicked for you?

I just picked up a Jazz trio album that is just a wonderful recording and performance:

It's called "Achirana" on ECM (that label seems to have a lot of great discs!). Vassilis Tsabroplulos, Piano. Arild Andersen, Double-Bass. John Marshall, Drums. Love the 5th cut! That double bass is right there in the room!

Also been enjoying a new classical guitar disc: Julian Bream, "The Ultimate Guitar Collection" on BMG. Great double-disc set. Not that crazy about the recording on this one, but the performance and breadth of the tapestry of work on those two CD's is remarkable.

Any new "discoveries" to share?

Gary Jules "Trading Snakeoil for Wolftickets" - Gary's an excellent Singer/Songwriter, and this is great album. He is in the mixing process of a new album also.

Jim Bianco "Handsome Devil" - This guy is sounding more and more like early Tom Waits, but with a little something extra thrown in....

Check them out!

It's more of a re-discovery, but I picked up Jah Wobble's 'Rising above Bedlam' on the weekend and have since ordered another 3 Jah Wobble CD's at Amazon....I listened to this stuff 10 yrs ago and it sounds even better today!

Some good friends just introduced me to the music of Jeffrey Foucault. His two albums, Stripping Cane and Miles from the Lightening, cut right to the top of my frequent rotation list. From Wisconsin, mostly acoustic guitar and great songwriting, and a voice like Bruce Springsteen might wish his own would smooth out to. Folksy, Americana, great acoustic guitar and lyrics, down to earth. Great stuff. Also plays in the band, Redbird who's self-titled album is also wonderful.
