Some nice recommendations in here. Having listened through my stack a few times now, I'll stick with a strong recommendation for Mary Gauthier's "Mercy Now" as well as Rickie Lee Jones "Naked Songs" (if you are a fan of her music). The latter is a great live acoustic recording of Rickie jamming with just one instrument (guitar or piano). I have to say that as much as I like her earlier work, Kate Bush's new double CD "Aerial" did not grab me. Gone are the theatrical extremes and though I didn't think I might miss them, I do. I can understand why Kevyo fell asleep twice. I've been digging on some old John Denver stuff too. It's like Chris Rock says..."Whatever you were listening to when you first got laid is going to stay with you forever". I got a soft spot in my soul for John Denver. There I said it.
