If "Love It To Death" is your fave "new" album, might I recommend Bowie's "The Man Who Sold The World"!
Love the recommendations, not so crazy about the punctuation police. And it's a good thing I have spell check!
I will be checking out lots of these. I love Los Lobos, my favorite to date is "Kiko". They put out a dvd, "Live at the Filmore" that really cooks. Anything with a Shelby duet is on my list. Peter Gabriel is a perennial also.
I finally picked up a copy of "Soldier of Love" by Sade. More relaxed, less "club/sophisticate" arrangements. Beautiful songs. And typically, from her first album to this latest, high-end production.
