Irish-tim, I also consider those albums among the top in my collection, and they get repeat play.
Enjoy the music.

Hmmm.... ROCK Be-Bop Deluxe - Live In The Air Age. Chris Whitley - An Anthology 1991 - 2001 Son Volt - American Central Dust JAZZ Steven Scott Trio - Renaissance The Lounge Lizards - Live In Tokyo Omar Avital - Abutbul Music SINGER/SONGWRITER Jose Gonzalez - How Low Ani DiFranco - Dilate Jeffrey Foucault - Shoot The Moon Right Between The Eyes My classical music vocabulary is too limited to bear inclusion here largely because I learned all of my classical appreciation from Bugs Bunny, old Disney cartoons, and compilation albums that my mother purchased for my father at the A&P when we were kids. That's not to say that I don't like or appreciate classical music - I do. I've just never delved as deep into it as I have the aforementioned and other genres. |
