What's your latest "Discovery"

Time to dig out this thread - some new discoveries over the last few months. In the process of "becoming Canadian" I discovered some Canadian singers:

Jill Barber - For all time (check out the song "Hard Line")
Matthew Barber - Sweet Nothing
Feist - The Reminder
Neil Young - Live at Massey Hall 1971

I had the chance to listen to both Jill and Matthew (sister and brother) live at the Bookshelf in Guelph. Jill has an amazing voice - by accident I had listened to the song "Hard line" on itunes and it literally cought my ear.

Some more good alums I picked up:
Emmylou Harris - Wrecking Ball
Eddi Reader - The Songs of Robert Burns

Eddi remains one of my favorite female voices (ever since Fairground Attraction). This ones a very folky album with wonderful interpretation of the tradionals by Robert Burns. Emmylou's fragile interpretation of Neil Young's Wrecking Ball captured me.

Enjoy!

That Feist album is tops. Much better than her debut. She's also in the band Animal Collective which is nothing like her solo stuff.

My brother gave me his record collection he had from the 70's and 80's and asked me record them on to CD's... One of the LP's in the collection was a funky-jazz album by Ramsey Lewis called Tequila Mockingbird from 1977. If you enjoy this type of electric-funky-jazz style music from the late 70's, played by real musicians playing real bass guitar and drums with out sequenced synthetic tracks in the mix, you will love this recording produced by Larry Dunn

Flora Purim- Stories To Tell.

Gslone, I saw Ramsey Lewis 2 years ago at Bumbershoot in Seattle. Nice and mellow and cooked when called upon.

Oregon, I hope you're not trying to rub it in : ) I will check out Stories To Tell
