The whole family is listening to The Great Big Sea (some uppity Newfie band...). Great Irish folk / contemporary mixture from the Great White North-east.  Gives my 3 ear-old son crazy feet and he dances all around the house.

I love Great Big Sea! But then again, I live on 'de udder Island, Buddy' south of Newfoundland. Traditional music here is very much the same.
Years ago, I once their played their first CD fairly loud in a campground in Main before the genre really took off, just to see if I'd get some strange looks. People from all over the campground came over to join us because they were curious and really liked the 'new sound'. Of course the New sound was based on very old sounds.
Back to topic...
I was inspired by a recent post to buy Jimmy Hendrix - Live at Woodstock. I had no great expectations that 1969 technology could ever be remastered to sound good but I just wanted to watch him play. I was very pleasantly surprised by the sound quality. It still sounded like an outdoor concert, but hey! It was an outdoor concert. Actually, it sounded better than most outdoor concerts I'd been to. Amazing what they can do these days.

Patrick I'm a big Lucinda Williams fan and agree that 'West' is certainly one of her best albums yet....she took a slight departure from her normal course on this one and hit a home run.

Jimi Hendrix......again.
This time it's the 10cd box set "in the studio".
It's 2007, and over 40 years later, "they" still find bits, and pieces of music to release.
I have to admit, I think they are getting to the end....there's a limit to what even the hard core Hendrix enthusiasts can get out of some out-takes, and jams, but there are IMO, still some treasures, here and there.
