Family Band "Grace & Lies"
Just ordered it and the Too Slim recommendation above as well. Rarely get steered wrong here. Agree it's time for a "new music" thread, thx for getting it started. 
Popular Male Singers in the past Half Century...
One artist not yet mentioned is Ryan Adams. Start with his album titled "29." If you like it, and I'll bet you do, dig deeper into his work. Enjoy.

Second thx Mofi. That is a fantastic link. Although Late For The Sky isn't my favorite Jackson Browne album, it does contain my favorite JB song, For A Dancer. A lot of memories when I play that one. And the album cover is ranked in my top ten cov... 
Laying it on the line
BTW Timrhu, I like the Meadowlarks and own the Nighthawks. I bet I could change your mind on the importance of speakers versus the source in your system.Highly unlikely as I've held this opinion since 1970 or so and feel I've reinforced it through...

Magnepan Service HORRIBLE???

How much should I pay for a 2001 Thiel CS 3.6?
Agree with Philojet, unless you intend on blasting the Thiels in a large room. I have owned a couple of Thiel speakers and they do have tipped up highs. Have also owned the NAD C352 and did feel it had a full-warm sound which may tame the Thiels. ...
