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

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.

hey Ray, yeah that's a good one too. try "we'll never turn back" w/ry cooder, jim keltner, ry's son, etc....if you ever have a chance to see her live - do it. she played at magnoliafest up here on the suwannee river a couple years ago. she stood on stage & took one look at the aging hippy audience & exclaimed "you all the flower childrens"

Pehare,Suwannee river,,,Im in Bradenton,Braden river is in my backyard!Another im enjoying is Hamilton Loomis,Aint Just Temporary,very good recording ,very tight band!

I love the James Blake album. One of the most original albums to come out of the electronica genre. Equal to the recent albums by The XX and Burial at defining the London music scene.
