Great Album Purchases of 2005

Dlwask,

I agree on the Cold Roses Disc. You should also pick Ryan Adams "Love is Hell" full release. It is a Stellar album. I also enjoy "Demolition" and "Rock & Roll" but "Love is Hell" takes the prize IMO.

I will have to check out the Mississippi Allstars. Sounds interesting..

the best of charles lloyd(atlantic/japan)vinyl......michael dinner/the great pretender(fantasy/japan)vinyl......holly cole trio/yesterday and today(emi/japan)cd

- Feist "Let it Die"
- The Killers "Hot Fuss"
- Kaiser Chiefs "Employment"
- Hot Hot Heat "Elevator"
- Beck "Guero"

I'll jump in....

Aimee Mann "Lost in Space" MFSL has seen alot of spins.
Lucinda "Live at the Fillmore" is a great live recording with a "you are there" feel.
Jesse Sykes and the Sweet Hereafter "Reckless Burning" Dark, brooding and intense.
Monk and Coltrane "At Carnegie Hall" 200g Mosaic LP is very nice indeed.
Dylan "Concert at Philharmonic Hall" (Bootleg Series Vol 5) on Classic Records LP set is a great historical snapshot.
Cold Roses is good. Jacksonville Skyline disappointing. For me, his best is "Heartbreaker" on Cooking Vinyl/Bloodshot LP. Great duets with Emmy Lou Harris and Kim Richey. Produced by Ethan Johns and instrumental support from David Rawlings and Gillian Welch. A SUPER must have if you are a fan.
Lori McKenna "Bittertown"
Kasey Chambers "Wayward Angel"
Any (ALL??) of the 45rpm series jazz recordings from Acoustic Sounds but if I had to pick Art Pepper meets the Rythem Section is fantastic.
