so far today:
Wishbone Ash "Live Dates/Vol II"
Hole "Live Through This"
The Ides of March "Vehicle"
Iron Butterfly "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida"
Dixie Chicks "Home"
Lucinda Williams "The Ghosts of Highway 20"
Ryan Adams "Ashes and Fire"
just to remark on three others, that stood out:
"Home"... I wanted to choose just one song from this lp that I could post on "Tune of the Day" and decided that they all were just too good to choose (one). The SQ is awesome. Songwriting is superb! Get it/listen to it!
"The Ghosts of Highway 20"... I've listened to this one about 5 times now. Not sure of the exact timeline... her father passed away between this lp and her last. Lucinda takes us through that process and comes out for the better. I cannot think of any other American artist who paints such a personal picture through her song better than Lucinda. Continues to just get better!
"Ashes & Fire"... This is the lp I would imagine Ryan would give us after his divorce. Such a beautiful, soulful record. The sonics are superb albeit, it seems to be recorded too hot for such an introspective outing. What a record!
I'm having a ball!
