"RECORDING OF THE WEEK"?????


It may have been done before. If so, please let me know.

So often we are told by a friend about a band, tune, recording that is great…..
We come home with the Disc/Record and enjoy, but few people find out.
There have been many threads here about “recordings to die for” etc..

How about one for new tunes?

To be a bit more detailed about the spirit of my request:
I think everyone knows when Sting releases his new record.
But what about great tunes that the average person would not know about?
If we could share this information in the following format, it might be helpful.

BRUCE HORNSBY
“HERE COME THE NOISE-MAKERS. LIVE-98/99/00”
Live recordings of Bruce and company. Very good live recording, including a couple of Grateful Dead covers. Rock-oriented mix, with a “jam-band” flavor.

If it was kept similar to the format above, as time goes on, the thread could be used as a quick reference for people in search of new tunes.

I would love to hear any suggestions.

What have you found recently worthy of mention?

Hmmm, I am totally hooked on the new Nickel Creek CD. Well, sorta new ;>)
I checked out that Jay link, thanks. Cool stuff!

I would love to see this list maintain some steam.

The Diana Krall stuff is well done. Not my style, but well done for sure. Thanks for the suggestions :>)
" This Side Up". Good to possibly very good recording, stellar playing and beautiful compositions.
My current favorite for late night listening is Leonard Cohen's "Ten New Songs". Cohen's low,gravelly voice blends great with his back-up vocalist. Add the vocals to the slow melodies and you have a very relaxing, almost hipnotioc, recording. This cd is very well recorded.

Thanks,
Anybody hear about the new BB King sessions?
I heard a conversation about it, but cant seem to find it.
the rock/jazz band "Ringsend" released their new CD "Sunday Brunch at the Gentleman's club" the last week in January. I am posting this a few weeks late, but I love this band. See "Ringsendmusic.com" --JB
