I need new music....

Break out a little bit, especially if you have a good stereo system. Try "John Coltrane and Johnny Hartman" and "Ballads" by John Coltrane.

Also:

Bob Dylan - Nashville Skyline
Art Garfunkel - Angel Clare
Janis Joplin - Pearl
Jerry Mulligan/Thelonius Monk - Mulligan Meets Monk (best recorded sound quality of Monk's piano I've heard)

None of these are new but they aren't old, either. They are timeless.

eric andersen, john martyn, sal valentino, jimmy webb

New one by Raol Malo " After Hours' is killer...

nice soft-rock/pop sound

Amy Winehouse, John Mayer, Mark Knopler, Wilco, all have new cd's of this ilk.
