Stuck in a Rut

Over the past 30 odd years I have been mostly listening to Rock (Led Zep, Pink Floyd, Bowie and all of the other great British and American bands.
I have also been listening to Jazz (Davis, Brubeck, Chet)
and assorted other Jazz artists.
For classical I love Betthovan's 7th and Tchaikovsky final symphony as examples.
But I know that there other great albums not only in the Rock, Jazz and Symphonic categories but in international ones as well. I would appreciate any suggestions not only on Rock, Jazz or Classical but also on any other category which is not lite but great.

Thanks...

I second the Bluegrass suggestion. A recent excellent selection is the double "Alison Krauss + Union Station Live" album. IMO it's wonderfully recorded (and after just seeing them live at the Walt Disney Concert Hall in LA, lauded as one of the finest music venues in the world, I contend that it's one of the finest recordings I have ever heard) and the talent level heard on this disk as far as bluegrass goes, is hard to beat. Another excellent record is Chris Thile's latest solo effort, "All Who Wander Are Not Lost."

I have also touted Jack Williams on this forum before. He is a little known singer/songwriter, but his Southen soulful sound is a great change of pace. You can find him @ www.jackwilliamsmusic.com There is also a good description of his music at www.allmusic.com

Nice Thread.

Jim,

The Be Good Tanyas latest record is great isn't it? If you like her, be sure to check out Gillian Welch, especially her first record "Revival" if you haven't already.
