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

I continue reviewing the 38 cds purchased since this thread began. By year end, I have listened to a whole new world of music, some enthralling and some so-so.

Rome is the last great cd I listened to.

I currently am playing the OST of The TATOO Lady(?) received this week and am totally taken aback that there are three discs in a beautiful package with absolutely no list of the tracks anywhere. There appears to be text on each of the discs but cannot be read since it would take a NASA telescope to read it. No insert, no words on the case, nothing.

Obrown, What are your top 10 of the 38 you bought so far?

Sorry for the delay. My wife fell Monday and I haven't been home.

In no particular order:

1) American Aquarium - The Bible and the Bottle

2) Feist - Metals

3) James Blake - James Blake

4) Danger Mouse - Rome

5) John Hiatt - Dirty Jeans & Mudslide Hymns

6) Hank 3 - Ghost to a Ghost

7) The Civil Wars - Barton Hollow

8) Fleet Foxes - Helplessness Blues

9) Bon Iver - Bon Iver

10) The Deep Dark Woods - The Place I left Behind

I have not yet listened to the following:

Keb Mo - The Reflection
Levon Helm - Ramble at the Ryan
Holly Golightly and the Brokeoffs - No Help Coming
Beth Hart & Joe Bonamassa - Don't Explain
John Vanderslice - White Wilderness
Laurie Anderson - Bright Red (1994)

I have really enjoyed just relaxing and listening the few hours I have had since I retired last Feb. after my wife fell and broke a hip and the the other hip in May.

You guys have helped me keep a little sanity. Music and faith have kept me from losing it.

I am really loving the new Calexico album, nice So Cal folk of Jonathan Wilson, and the PJ Harvey album. For vocals, hard not to love Florence + the machines.

Obrown, GREAT list! Agree with 3,4,7,and 9 on your list.
