"high performance gear is---for me at least, the means to an end. The deeper, more profound connection with and appreciation of music, not toys to play with" 

In observance of the passing Aretha Franklin, I heartily recommend an album produced by her early Atlantic Records-period producer, the great Jerry Wexler. Wexler took Lou Ann Barton down to Muscle Shoals to record her Old Enough album, and it is mighty fine. Wexler was aided by an unlikely partner, Glenn Frey. Lou Ann is a white singer who has a real feel for Rhythm & Blues, and she works quite a bit with Jimmie Vaughan.

Thanks ghosthouse, I'll check out  David Baerwald
Another gem is Mirah. Listening to her album "Advisory Committee" right now. Beautiful & creative at the same time. 

@ghosthouse ,

I bought The Blue Nile "Men With Hats" when I flew to Texas to visit my brother a long time ago. I had to visit record stores while I was there, of coarse.
