BigWill, that Alison Krauss CD is THE ONE to get. I have only heard the dual-layer SACD, but the CD layer is still a fantastic recording. It's one of the best sounding live CDs I've ever heard.

I have both cds. Allison Krause "New Favorite" is the sacd I have and is probably my favorite of the two. The live one "Allison Krause+Union Station Live is also a great cd, and I'm usually not crazy about live cds either.
I saw an interview with Allison (on Austin City Limits I think) and they asked her why she had never done a live recording before
and she said " because we have to tune our instruments too often"
Anyway, I would recomend either, but I think "New Favorite" is my favorite.

Yeah Dallas radio is pretty lame. I was in Chicago last weekend listening to my favorite radio station there , WXRT & they talked about their being the #1 station on AOL for Broadband radio. I don't know much about how to get AOL broadband radio, or how to get it thru my stereo, but it would be worth it to get some tasty tunes into DFW. XRT has a really diverse format - basically great (sometimes obscure) tunes from blues, jazz, rock, alt rock, folk genres. On one station you get some of my favorites - Lyle Lovett, Wilco, REM, Pat Metheny, John Prine, John Martyn, Stones, Van Morrison, Richard Thompson, Bruce Cockburn, Big Head Todd & the Monsters, and the list goes on. Would like to hear if anyone has experience w/AOL broadband radio ?

Thanks for the post.
Los Lonely Boys are killer!!!!!!
Someone turned me on to them about a month ago. I'm not surprised that they keep coming up on this thread.
I pulled Jamie Cullum up on iTunes, and really liked it, another one I'll have to get.
I'm almost sorry I started this thread, it has already cost me around $100.00 getting a bunch of GREAT music.

What I really like shopping for CD's nowadays is the ability to hear the disc before you buy it.
My local Barnes and Noble is killer. Not the greatest prices, but walk up to any of the listening stations, scan the disc you have in your hand, and you can hear clips from every track....it is great.
