drivin n cryin, "fly me courageous"--kevn kinney's a folkie at heart, and i never fully bought into his hard rock moves, but this is one of the best-ever air guitar records nonetheless

greg sage, "straight ahead" subdued psych-folk from the ex-wipers guy. very tuneful and oddly hypnotic--these songs have stuck in my head 30+ years after first hearing them.

 

A few days ago, I bought a used copy of "Top Drawer" by Mel Tormé and George Shearing. Wow, what an amazing intersection of great singing, musicianship and superb recording. It didn't hurt that I had just purchased a new-to-me, used Vincent PHO 701 stage. Maybe it was confirmation bias, and I wanted that (and other) LPs to sound better, but "Top Drawer" is just great.
