Discs you play again and again


To qualify for heavy repetition in my house, a cd has to be good music and a good recording. I would like to share the following 4 discs which I can't get enough of. (mostly pop)

1. Tori Amos-Scarlets Walk-Epic cut- A Sorta Fairytale, Bosendorfer Piano and killer vocals- my favorite recording
2.James Taylor- October Road- Columbia- cut My Traveling Star- again killer vocals- great recording!
3. Keb'Mo'- The Door- Sony SACD- cut The Door finally a poppish SACD that's not a repeat of some 25 year old analog recording- this one is new and beyond good
4. Dave Mathews Band- Crash RCA- cut So Much To Say- great dynamics - great everything

What do you have in heavy rotation now?

Rodney Crowell-Fates Right Hand

I bought "Houston Kid" because of a review in Stereophile, and it never quite took off for me. But I thought enough of Rodney Crowell to buy "Fate's Right Hand", and I love it. What a fantastic album. Stereophile should follow up and listen to it. I've seen it very cheap in Tower Records.

Strawinsky "Rite Of Spring" under Valery Gergiev! And that without an eggnog!!!
