What new music did you get for Christmas?


...I'm enjoying Mary Gauthier's "Mercy Now" at the moment. Highly recommended kind of like a 'dark' Lucinda Williams. Her first CD, "Filth and Fire" is great too. Got a handfull of other new music...I'll add to the thread as I listen to them.

Anyone else get new music they can recommend...?

The Best of Miles Davis and John Coltrane (1955 -1961)
I just received Kate Bush "Aerial" from England on LP. The artwork is stunning and this double album worth the price for side B alone, (as far as I've listened while writing this).

The cut "How to be Invisible" is as beautiful as anything she did on her albums in the 1980's and sent chills all over my body while listening.

Bless her heart, this babe still has it working for her.

I'm gonna' need to listen a few more times to that one. Just didn't move me at all, especially with expectations built by the likes of "The Dreaming" and "Hounds of Love". I really found Aerial quite boring on first listen...nothing really grabbed me as it did you. I'll take another few listens. Thanks for the input Albert.
