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

Wow Marco, thanks for the word on Gillian Welch. Didn't know she had one coming out. I'll keep an eye out for a pre release copy. As for Omar, many a Pimp has worn a pony tail. Don't be fooled...he's a bad mofo. Your boys Cassius and Captain do look like muscle so not too much I can say there. I did give E your regards. There is not doubt about his brawn. A true OG Mack Daddy.

On Sara Jaffe...I watched that youtube vid of Clementine you posted and she is a total clone of Laura Marling. Check out some of the live videos on yoututbe of Ms Marling. Every tone, voice inflection, facial expression...it's wild. No doubt Sara Jaffe admires Laura Marling. That chick is brilliant. Maybe a little depressed, but still brilliant. Certainly in my top 5 female artists.

I picked up Sarah J upon recommendation of this group,really liking her! Thrilled to hear Gillian has a new one. Also enjoying Agnes Obel from Denmark. album is called "philharmonics".

Wobbler - Rites At Dawn (prog rock from Norway)
Motif - Facienda (avant-garde jazz also from Norway)

Okay,

Okay, I spun up Sarah J for the first time today, on the recommendation of half of A'gon's members. Is she the unholy offspring of Alison Krauss and Suzanne Vega? Or is there another comp that works better to describe her style?

I definitely need some time to digest this, but there's clearly something goin' on on this CD.
