What music have you been buying lately?

I went through another one of those LP buying spurts recently. Yeah, I even bought a few CDs. As I look at the pile it's a pretty ecclectic collection.
I bought a couple of Van Morrison CDs, "Back on Top," and "Best of." I also got the Nora Jones CD, and The Traveling Wilbury's.
I bought a new copy of Muddy Water's 'Folk Singer.' and a Byrd's Lp, A Jethro Tull Lp I already had and some new Dylan.
On the classical side I bought Mozart's 'Requiem,' and a copy of Carl Orff's 'Carmina Burana.'
I also picked up a copy of John Coltrane's 'A Love Supreme."
So what have you been buying as I was going through this session of unrestrained abandon???

Blkadr, I'm not sure the CCR reissues live up to the hype (what does), but the sound is excellent. Of course, the music speaks for itself. But I must admit I've heard few, if any, 180g/200g reissues that I didn't like.

However, for another level of quality, go for the heavy vinyl 45 rpm recordings. The few I've heard are virtually unmatched. The only drawback is their price.

......just picked up "A Tribute to Johnny Cash"-- songs by some really unexpected artists, eg Dylan, Springsteen, and I think my favorite is Keb Mo' doing his version of "Folsom Prison Blues". And Little Richard does "Get Rhythm"-- many C/W artists too of course. An interesting and mostly well recorded CD.

Also just got the 2 CD set of "The Essential Leonard Cohen". And an old LP recording (1974) now on CD-- JJ Cale's "Okie". This CD of soft blues/rock really does rock and is quickly becoming a favorite. Cheers. Craig
