Some nice recommendations in here. Having listened through my stack a few times now, I'll stick with a strong recommendation for Mary Gauthier's "Mercy Now" as well as Rickie Lee Jones "Naked Songs" (if you are a fan of her music). The latter is a great live acoustic recording of Rickie jamming with just one instrument (guitar or piano). I have to say that as much as I like her earlier work, Kate Bush's new double CD "Aerial" did not grab me. Gone are the theatrical extremes and though I didn't think I might miss them, I do. I can understand why Kevyo fell asleep twice. I've been digging on some old John Denver stuff too. It's like Chris Rock says..."Whatever you were listening to when you first got laid is going to stay with you forever". I got a soft spot in my soul for John Denver. There I said it.

Marco

(1) Jack Johnson "In Between Dreams"
(2) Mino Cinelu "Quest" (45 RPM)
(3) Ernestine Anderson "Never Make Your Move Too Soon" (45 RPM)
(4) Louis Prima "Strictly Prima" (With Sam Butera and The Witnesses) Mono.

All my purchases are LP but are available as CD as well.

The first three were purchased new and all are stunningly good recordings and great music. The Jack Johnson is the surprise album of the year for me, can't stop playing it.

The Louis Prima is a 1959 pressing I won at Ebay, It's unbelievable sound and so fun I laugh out loud every time I listen.
