Yep! But, I'll still probably have a Gillian CD by the end of the weekend....

Gillian Welch and David Rawlings are unbelievable. Rawlings is an absolutely astonishing guitarist. Living in Nashville affords me the opportunity to catch them in tiny venues - I've seen them a few times at the Station Inn, which is a small bluegrass club downtown. I was also at the Ryman for the show that turned into the "Down From the Mountain" CD/DVD.
You can't go wrong with any of their albums, but I'd hold off on Soul Journey until you're convinced you like them. It's a bit of a departure.
I had a bizarre (and uniquely Nashville) experience yesterday. I went to a favorite hole in the wall Jewish deli called Goldie's for lunch, looked up, and there's John Prine sitting at the next table. Five years in this town, and it's still disconcerting every time something like that happens.
Back to Welch/Rawlings - my vote is for Revival or Hell Among The Yearlings. Good luck - I don't think you'll be disappointed with any selection you make.

Cool. Thanks for the heads up. I'll try to grab one of those this weekend. Her page also has MP3s.

I am jealous of some of your collection riffman, I'm also a big Rush fan, any chance they have any SACD or DVD-A's out?

It sure is good to know that I have many more choices than I saw last night. I"m Listening to Norah Jones as I post this and it really sounds great.
However, I have posted a question in Tech Questions concerning stereo sacds so if any of you guys have knowledge ( JohnK you out there) about playing stereo sacds please check out that post.

" ...and I haven't been able to put in a regular CD since!! "
Same here! I LOVE my sacd-dvda's , the difference is really astonishing. Today I bought Ray Charles new sacd 'genius loves company', it is awesome; loved the lush and embellish orchestra arrangements. The Blood, Sweat & Tear sacd is very good, too bad it's 2channel only, If there is a band that would sound great in multichannel is BST.
The rest of my collection is:
Miles Davis -kinda of blue -great
Bucky Pizzarelli - Swing Live -great
Telarc sacd sampler I -good
Getz/ Gilberto (tgf ipanema) -good
Beach Boys - Pet Sounds -average
Toto - Hydra / Toto IV -average / great
Earth Wind & Fire - Alive '75 -good
Pink Floyd -(The?) DSOTM -awesome of course:)

Wow! Riffman, I was just re-reading your list. #1 Record/Radio City is available? How cool is that? Is it multi-channel, or just stereo? I've got the regular CD (and some old vinyl someplace) and "Thirteen" is just gorgeous through Axioms.
Apparently, every upteen years on the 3rd blue moon of the month of whatever, Alex Chilton and Big Star get together and do a show or two. I was fortunate enough to attend this one back in 2001, and it was amazing. I'm going to have to buy a copy on SACD (or is it DVD-A?) this weekend. Thanks for the tip!

An interesting side note... A third blue moon in a month would be utterly impossible! A blue moon, I believe, is the second full moon in one month.
