Best CD I've heard so far 2011.........

I'd like to give a big hand to "Blame Sally" a female quartet from San Francisco and "Girlyman" out of Atlanta. Based on many of the posts, I think you'll like them.

I'll maybe say Amos Lee - Mission Bell. He's kind of a folk/soul singer-songwriter. Mission Bell probably requires more listens to get into than his previous efforts, but I'm quite liking it. Guest appearances by Lucinda Williams and Willie Nelson.

Josh T. Pearson "Last of the Country Gentleman"

A sort of Astral Weeks meets Blood On The Tracks vibe...

PJ Harvey Let England Shake

Radiohead King Of Limbs

Jax, I'll get the Jenny's live. Have all of the Be Goods. Sounds like I like the solo Frazey better than you; I admit it's not "in heavy rotation," but I enjoy it quire a bit.

I'm enjoying Cowboy Junkies' Vic Chesnutt cover album "Demons" (favorite cut "Supernatural"). But get the original, if you haven't, especially the masterpiece "West of Rome." Much less polish than CJ, much more guts.

People who like girl-with-guitar should check out Sera Cahoone -- lovely stuff.

Arvid Henrikson, this guy plays the trumpet like it's a flute...mindboggling ECM sonics too.
