Got a couple of nice cd's from one of our soon-to-be-closed HMV's today(on sale of course!). Renee Olstead...good for those who like smooth/smokey jazz music, and the other is Alison Krauss/Robert plant...reminds me a little of Blue Rodeo's collaborations with Sarah McLachlan on a few tracks(and that's a good thing).

Alison Krauss' version of Richard Thompson's 'Dimming of the Day" from the their new CD Paper Airplane. Phenom.

I have Paper Airplane too. I like it.

Should be going out for a run...but no,

Opeth's "Black Water Park"...stunning.

The Chieftains' - Tears of Stone (a beautiful collaboration with many female musicians/vocalists). I especially like the songs with Joni Mitchell, Natalie Merchant, Loreena McKennitt, The Corrs, and Natalie McMasters.

Adele - 21, what an awsome voice!
Mumford and Sons
Black Keys
Ken Burns 5CD Jazz Soundtrack
Sam Roberts (best Canadian band in my eyes)- Love at the End of the World

Tacoma's Vicci Martinez will be on The Voice tonight. I'm grooving on her "Live from Jazzbones" at the moment. Another great voice.

Thanks for the link, Tom. She and her band have a nice sound to them, in a way she reminds me of Sass Jordan.

Gotta get to work. No time for details.

The new Paul Simon is fawesome. The recording will kill you. Tunes are new, fresh and super solid.

The new Foo Fighters is the best ever! (I think I say that with every new one.)

Writing is more sophisticated, but still all Foo.
So many surprises and turns.

New Radiohead. I guess I'm totally over them. More trippy meanderings. Not for me.

New Strokes. This was your last chance to have more than 2 good cuts on a CD. Bye.

Bought a Bruce Hornsby cd the other day, "The way it is" still sounds as good as when I first heard it 25yrs ago. Never realized how much he reminds me of Jackson Browne until now.
