Last months play list


One of my personal goals for the newly introduced forums at Audiogon is to make music a bigger focus.

I had the idea of people writing in with the "play list" from the past month. The hope is to learn of what others consider to be favorites and to learn of new music from people who appear to have similar tastes to mine. To start out I will simply list the disks (cd or vinyl) that I've most frequently listened to this past month.

The second goal I have is to see individual reviews of particular disks. The idea is to have a separate thread for each disk where others would also make their reviews. For example if Lucinda Williams "Essence" (the first I intend to review) had a thread, there might be ten separate reviews in that one thread. I believe this could be an extremely helpful idea for finding new music.

My List - CD:
Lucinda Williams; Essence - (Played almost daily)
Linda Ronstadt & Emmylou Harris; Western Wall/ The Tucson Sessions
Emmylou Harris; Spyboy - (For four straight months)
Kasey Chambers; The captain - (recording quality suspect, performance 5 star)
Patrica Barber; Nightclub (still!)
Sara K.; What Matters
Garcia, Grisman, Rice; The Pizza Tapes
Bill Frisell; Nashville
Walter Booker Quintet; Bookie's Cookbook
Copland: Third Symphony, etc. - Eiji Oue/ Minnesota Orchestra. Reference Recordings
Mephisto & Co. : Eiji Oue/ Minnesota Orchestra. Reference Recordings

SACD:
Duke Ellington; Blues In Orbit
Paquito D'Rivera; Tropicana Nights
Charles Mingus; Mingus Ah Um
The Dave Brubeck Quartet; Time out

James Taylor, Hourglass. Can't leave it alone. Personal, intelligent, melodic, emotional.
Sade, Lover's Rock. This one grew on me. Great lights out music.
Byrds, Sweetheart of the Rodeo. Good harmonies, very tasty. Their music is timeless.
Virginia Rodriguez, Nos. What a voice! The first 3 songs are really powerful, even if in Portugese. Hypnotic, sacred music. Reminds me of Iz.
Duke Ellington, at Newport, 1956. Jumpin. This material, written in the '30s & '40s, nearly caused a riot. Imagine!
Paul Simon, Negotiations & Love Songs. Always come back to this. Fun to listen to the sonics improve as the recording technology advances.
