What's your latest "Discovery"


You know when you buy a new album and it just clicks?! And then you have to play it rather frequently in the mix over and over for the next several days....What's the last album's you bought that really clicked for you?

I just picked up a Jazz trio album that is just a wonderful recording and performance:

It's called "Achirana" on ECM (that label seems to have a lot of great discs!). Vassilis Tsabroplulos, Piano. Arild Andersen, Double-Bass. John Marshall, Drums. Love the 5th cut! That double bass is right there in the room!

Also been enjoying a new classical guitar disc: Julian Bream, "The Ultimate Guitar Collection" on BMG. Great double-disc set. Not that crazy about the recording on this one, but the performance and breadth of the tapestry of work on those two CD's is remarkable.

Any new "discoveries" to share?

Marco, I have her album The Milk-Eyed Mender. Great songs and playing. The voice is a bit of a challenge, as you say.
Yes, sorry I forgot to mention the title, which is indeed "The Milk-Eyed Mender" (thanks Drubin). I think she self-published two earlier CD's, but I've never heard either. The Mindy Smith, by the way, is titled "One Moment More".

Big and Rich...Progressive country. A little country...a little heavy metal...some mexican rap...a little satire and a couple of decent ballads.

Nice bass...and some sweet acoustic guitar...some powerful vocals... will set you back on your heels.

2nd cut and the last cut are filled with emotion.

and

"Save a Horse...Ride a Cowboy" ROCKS

Not a country fan...dig this band.
Tom Russell, The Man from God Knows Where, recommended here by a few folks (thanks). an incredible opera-like historical immigrant journey of great music.
