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

Drive By Truckers.

I've got to add one more that Richard_Stacy introduced me to, but hasn't mentioned yet. Especially in the light of the OP's initial mention of Sarah Jarosz....here's another young, original breath of fresh air: Sarah Jaffe. I've been listening to her 2010 release, Suburban Nature, and have her 2011 release on the way. Here's a great sense of what she's about that actually has excellent sound!

Listening to clips from Rome right now (via Amazonz) and really like it. So much so that I was going to overnight it, but it's not released until next week!

Mavis Staples, youre not alone

Pehare,Maybe a little off topic as im not sure what year this came out.I just discovered Mavis Staples ,"Have a Little Faith"What a pleasure to listen to!I heard this first via HDtracks .Listening to the song samples on their website.Not entirely sure why,but the samples sound so good compared to the download I bought.Or most any CD I have.
