What's the Best LP You Bought in 2008

db,

Yeah, Wilco - Sky Blue Sky is a real gem. This instrumental finish to Impossible Germany is sublime. One of the most underrated bands IMO. Maybe if they get to play the Obama inauguration, the press coverage will find them some new fans. Jeff Tweedy was great on the Colbert Report recently!

Cheers,
Spencer

Sarah McLachlan, Fumbling Towards Ecstasy and The Freedom Sessions, 2 LP set

Cat Power - You Are Free

a nice full tone and one of her best...

Not the single best album, but I purchased a fairly large collection that included 6 sealed Mel Torme albums on the Bethelehm and Verve labels from the 50's and 60's.

Still sealed BTW.

Dear Spencer: I agree with Shelby and I add two others: Hugh Masekela " Hope " and Gotan Project " Lunatico ".

Both are a little unusual ( at least for me ) but very nice recordings.
I know that you ask for one but that is almost impossible to choose, I like too: Dido.

Regards and enjoy the music.
Raul.
