What haven't you listened to in a long time, but..

Every so often I grab a cd or album that I haven't listened to in a long time, and realize just how good it still is. This afternoon I played East West by the Paul Butterfield Blues Band. A 1964 Chicago blues group featuring Paul Butterfield vocals and blues harmonica, Mike Bloomfield-lead guitar, Elvin Bishop-guitar, Mark Naftalin-piano, Jerome Arnold-bass, and Billy Davenport-drums. I have the original album that was released in 1966, and a cd that was produced in 1987 through Denon Records. They both sound great, and the cd is excellently produced. Bloomfield's guitaring is in a class by itself, especially considering it was 1966. I remember seeing a free concert in Tompkins Square Park in the east village featuring a battle of the bands: The Blues Project (Al Kooper's band) vs. The Paul Butterfield Blues Band. AND IT WAS FREE!

Those were the days...

So what have you heard lately, that you haven't heard in a long time?

I've been importing my entire CD collection (probably around 400-500 CD's) to a hard drive so I've been listening to a whole lot of music I haven't heard in a while (I let the music play while I'm importing so usually only get to hear a few cuts). Kate Rusby's Little Lights was one that caught me by surprise today. What a beautiful voice! I had just seen her in a movie I recently watched at home which was not very notable except for her music and cameo performance singing in a pub. Wonderful stuff, even if you're not necessarily a fan of folk music.
