From this year:
Mary Chapin Carpenter, "The Age Of Miracles"
A stunning, and surprising, return to form after two albums searching in the wilderness.
Suzanne Vega, "Love Songs"
Stripped down rerecordings of her previous hits. Probably for fans only.
The best for last, from 2009:
Michael Shreve and Spellbinder "Live At TOST"
Ex Santana drummer Shrieve puts together a band with more chops than Mortons of Chicago. My favorite album of the last five years and one that has rarely been heard.
