Best Rock Album in 2011

i have been playing the new dave alvin and robbie robertson cds. great music

Earlier this week new releases by Robbie Robertson and Booker T. Jones arrived.

Both, IMO, are not particularly noteworthy.

Man In Motion arrived. I've only been able to get to the DVD, but really good stuff.

I'll never forget a Gov't Mule concert I attend on Halloween a few years back. The first set was all of their stuff as expected. The second set, they came out and played the entire Dark Side of the Moon. Really caught everyone pleasantly off guard. YOu can imagine the Halloween spirit was running pretty high that night. Warren is one of the true performers.

Tedeschi/Trucks Band - 'Renovator', & Levon Helm - 'Live'

"So Beautiful Or So What".

If you're a Paul Simon fan, don't miss this album (includes free hi-res download).

One of the best songwriters of our time and his strongest effort since "Graceland" IMO.

However, it's a stretch calling this a rock album.

YMMV
