What new music did you get for Christmas?

Hey Pehare,

I agree, Jesse Sykes is some good listening.
Just uploaded Reckless Burning onto my iPod again.

Check out Shelley Campbell 'Blue Ridge Reveille" and Caitlin Cary/Thad Cockrell "Begonias" if you haven't already.

Got Ryan Adams "29" for Xmas myself.

Got a Billi Holiday box set. :)

Pehare - Thanks for the Jesse Sykes heads-up (and for the second Fujindemon). I just happened to have a copy of "Oh Girl" that a friend had given me (probably for the very reason you'd recomended her) that was sitting in my small stack of things to listen to. It's on right now and indeed I do like it very much.

Kevyo - Kate Bush's "Aerial" is among the Xmas booty I have yet to listen to. I'll make sure I do it when I'm not tired, though I can't imagine falling asleep to her dramatic voice.

Enjoyed a new (to me) Townes Van Zandt album, "Rear View Mirror", but the recording/acoustics of that live album aren't that great. Can anyone recommend a good introductory CD to his music that is a better recording. Also enjoyed John Prine's "Fair&Square". I guess I had a country theme going this Xmas.

Cool beans Slappy! Didn't peg you for a fan. Do you like Nina Simone as well? If you haven't heard her stuff, check her out too. here's a good introductory collection of her stuff.
