Best CD I've heard so far 2011.........

OBrown...never heard of Audra Mae, gotta check her out. Glad we have all spent your money:) !

Since you like James Blake, he has a new EP and it's very very good, particularly the title track "Love What Happened Here" [R&S Records]. He also released a deluxe edition of the self titled album, a 2 disc set that contains his Enough Thunder EP and a few other odds and ends. I don't know what this whole "deluxe edition" trend is but it gets confusing for us music nerds.

Karen O is the bomb.

Just ordered the two OST mentioned above and Kate Bush. Keep 'em coming.

Beth Hart + Joe Bonamassa - Don't Explain
Eilen Jewell - Queen of the Minor Key

My best find in 2011 was to purchase the soundtrack CD from “The Prince & Me”. While flipping channels one night to put the finishing touches on irritating my wife, I heard Marc Cohn’s voice singing Tom Waits’ “I Hope That I Don’t Fall In Love With You”. I hit the allmusic.com website and much to my surprise found there was a soundtrack album to possible one of the dumbest movies ever made.

Marc Cohn… Tom Waits… absolute magic.
