Chris Squire/Nardelli' Syndestructibles

Maia Sharp's Upstanding Citizen

Judith Owen's last release (cant remember the name)

Richard Thompson's Front Parlour Ballads (at least I bought it 2005)

I cant think of a 5th one.sorry
So, I can't keep it to five, but I (think I) can keep it to single digits:

Tord Gustavsen Trio, "The Ground"
Thelonious Monk Quartet with John Coltrane, "At Carnegie Hall"
Jackson Browne, "Solo Acoustic, vol. 1"
The Waifs, "A Brief History"
Alan Broadbent, "You and the Night and the Music"
Morphine, "The Night"
Cowboy Junkies, "Early 21st Century Blues"
Everything But The Girl, "Acoustic"
Kenny Barron Trio, "Perfect Set"
Patti Smith, "Trampin'"

Oops, so that's double digits. But just barely. I'm just not good at narrowing these things down. And yes, I do have eclectic taste. Why do you ask? :-)

Happy Listening
