What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report

Been pretty busy and finally got around to listening to some shiny discs. The first was Robert Earl Keen – Gravitational Forces. This one is in HDCD and sounds great. Not his best effort, but fun nevertheless.

Next up was Lyle Lovett – Joshua Judges Ruth. Fantastic album and if you love Lyle, you probably already know this one. I heard Lyle play a song from this album, North Dakota, on the radio here in LA many years ago. I was on the way to work and it so moved me that I was all emotional but in the best way, being touched by the music. Lyle’s passion was amazing.

Moved on to Vigilantes of Love – Welcome to Struggleville. This is one of their stronger efforts and is from way back, 1994. Great listen.

Cibelle – The Dried Shine of Electric Leaves was in the CDP next and this is a well recorded disc with some neat arrangements. Really like this one.

Ended the session with Younger Brother – The Last Days of Gravity. This was a Ghosthouse recommendation that I purchased a several months ago. The more I listen, the better it gets. Just the way I like it.

Ghosthouse, I’ll have to take a look at Wondershare sometime. Just been pretty busy or out of town. It has been a good busy though. Happy New Years!

Hey, Pokey - good to hear from you. Always enjoy checking out your music choices. Happy New Year to you too. I did check out Robbie Fulks and The Big Dish. Can definitely see the talent in Robbie Fulks...greatest unknown songwriter kind of a thing. Big Dish...didn't do a lot for me at the time. Like many things, might be worth another try before completely closing the door. I remember when Lyle Lovett released JJR. Don't own it and only heard one or two tracks from it. Might be worth further investigation.

Kenny Burrell-Special Request
Shelby Lynne-Just A Little Loving
Carmen Mcrae-Try A Little tenderness

The new Hugh Laurie CD is awesome!
