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

My best of 2011 so far-
Israel Nash Gripka - Barn Doors And Concrete Floors. An awesome follow up to 2009's New York Town

Also enjoying from this year-
The Deep Dark Woods - The Place I Left Behind
The Sand Band -All Through The Night

Tatw....thanks for posting those. Never heard of any of them but loved the samples I found, particularly The Deep Dark Woods. Pure and timeless music. Thanks!!

New Wilco is the bomb. One of their best.

All right folks - you have gotten my interest. I have never heard of the following artists which I have in my Amazon cart as of 10 minutes ago:
Deep Dark Woods
Shara Worden/MBD
Dark Was the Night/Compilation
Danger Mouse
James Blake
Mtn Goats
Gilliam Welch- Time
Girls

Now, any comments before I place my order?

I am a young 65, recently retired, and a fan of music since Buddy Holly. My favorites since then have ranged from Otis Redding, Janis Joplin, Joe Cocker, Jackson Browne, and Anthony and the Johnsons. I have wanted to branch out and Anthony's songs on a couple of tv series perked my interest in new music outside my comfort zone.

I have relied heavily upon Richard Stacy's recommendations and would enjoy his comments, time willing.

Oh, I just added Hank III "Cattle Callin" after hearing it on Sirius satelite radio. An electronic eclectic sound in the background of a cattle auctioneer - very unusual. One reviewer on Amazon said he would like to see a group of druggies on LSD locked in a room with that mucic playing very loudly.
