New Music?

I'm putting myself out there again, apparently,... If anyone reading this is yearning for great music, I can recommend The Rosebuds "Life Like" @ "Loud Planes Fly Low". Why only two you may ask? Because I only listen to vinyl and these titles are what"s currently available. If I could make a recommendation upon "half listening" it would be "Night Of The Furies", however that one isn't available on vinyl. Avoid The Rosebuds at you own peril!!!!!!!

The Gillian Welch album is superb! If you like it, the most recent Lucinda Williams "Blessed," Steve Earle "I'll Never Get Out Of This World Alive," and The Decemberists "The King Is Dead" are also excellent.

Agree with Gillan Welch's and Decemberists' latest but "Blessed" is really weak compared to her past efforts.

She mailed this one in.

That was my first impression, Audiofeil. A few more listens changed my mind.

Slaw means "Flirted With You All my Life" on Cowboy Junkies' Vic Chesnutt tribute "Demons." It is indeed a potent song; "I'm a big CJ fan, but Vic's version is better (RIP). Get his "West of Rome" which is a sort of miracle.

I agree with Bill that Gillian's recent "Harrow and Harvest" is not her best, though "The Way it Goes" can hang with her best cuts. ("Blessed" is actually Lucinda Williams' latest; have not heard it, since she mostly lost me after the excellent "Essence.") FWIW, my ranking of Gillian albums:

Time
Revival
Soul Journey
Hell Among the Yearlings
Harrow and Harvest (tie)

No shame to places 4 and 5, really, since 2-3 are excellent, and 1 is a masterpiece.

Now, should I go see Gillian tonite in StL? :) When I saw her, show was pretty sleepy.
