new music recommendations

What are some of the best u have heard in terms of new or less well known artists that you would recommend strongly? Here are few of mine

1. Bebel Gilberto: Tanto Tempo...bossa nova w/ sex appeal. The hell w/ Diana Krall!
2. Ben Allison: well not new, and well known in circles: but great delicate jazz w/ emotional power
3. The Black Keys: Thickfreakness...new blues duo with rock sensibilites...raw and good for it
4. Cinematic Orchestra: Everyday...if real jazz muscians play chill out music then....
5. Adam Levy: Buttermilk Channel: guitar improv w/ a twang
6. Garage A Trois: is it jazz? is it rock? is it jam band?
7. Jazz Is Dead: Blue Light Rain: jazz men play grateful dead as instrumentals
8. Kelly Joe Phelps: Lead Me On...not new, but not well known...acoustic blues...the guy is a monster
9. Living Daylights: Electric Rosary: modern jazz with funk, chill out elements: intelligent groove
10. Mark Isham: TV theme song guy, but this melodic jazz album is very good
11. Morphine: Cure for Pain....unfortnately disbanded after a death..trio..rock...but no guitars, and acoustic double bass & drums & horns.
12. Olu Dara: contemporary laid back funk with some hip hop, some new orleans jazz
13. Opeth:Damnation: head bangers (which I don't like) release this entirely acoustic album: strangely beautiful
14. Soda Stereo: Sueno Stereo...the Latin U2?
15.Tom Harrell: Wise Children: jazz with hear & intellect with a rooting in pop
16. Topaz: The Zone...NY funk jams
17 Touch Acoustra: When It comes up...sorta like Cinematic Orchestra but not as overtly chill out
18 Vallejo: Stereo...Texas rock with a Mexican twist
19. Moke: Carnival: sounds initially like FM rock, but much more to it
20. The Slip: Does...new jazz trio: a lot lock early Scofield

I'm into Americana/alt-country/roots rock type of things. Kind of a combination of Country, punk, blues, blugrass/folk, and rock n roll jumbled together. A specific band may lean towards one type more than others, but all are definitely not slick corporate music.

This is real music done by humans on real musical instruments. No lip sync'ers here, no backing tapes.

James McMurtry, all his albums are good, I like "Too long in the Wasteland", best.

Boneshaker's - some members of Storyville in this band, "Live, Shake your booty." Raw rock n rhythm/blues.

Jim Lauderdale- More countryish, excellent recordings, great guitar work, usually from Buddy Miller. "Closer to the Truth", "Hummingbird", for two of many.

Flatlanders - Joe Ely, Jimmie Dale Gilmore, Butch Hancock. texas country roots music.

Toni Price - one of Austin's great female vocalists, backed by some of Austin's best musicians such as Scrappy Jud Newcomb, and Casper Rawls. Folk/blues, kind of like Bonnie Riatt, but to me better. "Midnight Pumpkin."
