New Music: Oh Laura

Thanks for the suggestion; I liked their sound as well..

My favorite "discovery" in the realm of altish folk voices lately is The Be Good Tanyas (www.begoodtanyas.com). Frazey Ford often sings, with a sweet and spacey voice that is a little, well, Frazey. Try "What Are They Doing in Heaven?" on Hello Love, but all three of their discs are very fine. Sadly, Albert, I do not think there are LPs. John

Thanks Tobias. I used to listen to WJs' 40 Days all the time. Sweet voices. Do you have a favorite disc of theirs? J

Tobias: Will try "Firecracker." Thanks!

Jax2: Chinatown might be my favorite from BGT. Will try Over the Rhine. The Innocence Mission, wow! Worked door for one of their shows a million years ago, at the Blind Pig in Ann Arbor. Never bought a recording, I should.

Presently listening to Jenny Scheinman's self-titled record. Better than average recording, I reckon, and nice guitar from Bill Frisell.

Other nice voices in the vicinity are Shannon McNally and Sera Cahoone.

Been meaning to try starting an alt.country/Americana thread forever' will try to do so soon . . . . John
