Your favorite song from a RECENT cd release?

Mine is ''The painter'' from Neil Young. It is a great song, just about THE perfect song with acoustic guitar. It has nice lyrics, timing, and of course Young's unique voice. It is a joy to listen to. Sound wise, it sounds a bit congested in the low end, but who cares. I'll take a less-than-perfect song gem on a car radio any day over any Diana Krall song ( o.k Krall fans, flame me!) played on my home system. All a matter of taste, of course!

Long Gone Lonesome Blues by Gringo. 1997 but recent to me on Pravda Records. Good studio recording too, but thats my opinion I guess. I knew the label but not the artist. The New Duncan Imperials record on pravda. Hankey Panky Parley Voo from NDI is a pretty good cd also.

"I enjoy Mercy Now too but it takes 4 hours to get that song out of my head after I hear it."

The lyrics really stay with you. One of the most powerful songs I've heard in a long, long time.

It's hard to argue with Maybe Sparrow by Neko Case. I have to second that.

I'll get back to you again after Jewel's new CD is released, and also Personal File by Johnny Cash in a few weeks, and then in July, the posthumous release of American V.

Diana Krall's Christmas album has a beautiful Irving Berlin song on it. No not White Christmas but Count Your Blessings. Especially in our selfish Me Me Me times it's nice to be reminded that there are other things more important than money and power. It's the last song on the album.
