    Tinsley Ellis - Moment of Truth
    2007, Alligator ALCD 4916, CD

    The Highwayman dishes up a mess of Georgia tinged blues with this offering, penning 10 of 12 cuts himself. 'Storm Warning' has been one of my top rotation albums for years. This has the potential to knock it down a notch.

    Only two other blues artists I've seen live are of this caliber: Freddie King and SRV. That's some good company to be in.

    Today, I Get Closer with Linda Ronstadt. This is the last album she did before the Nelson Riddle LP’s. It’s rocker style, and I like it.

    Great musicianship and great production, imo.

    John Mayer - Continuum

    314A3E6X2BL._SL500_AA240_.jpg

    I really like this album. It's the best of his "pop" stuff. For those that don't know...you should try and find a copy of the "Try!" by the John Mayer Trio (live in concert). It is a whole different thing. Very good blues rock. Continuum has a hint of what he can do but you gotta give Try! a listen.

    Jackson Browne - Time the Conqueror

    41hMCcjyXGL._SL500_AA240_.jpg

    Jackson Browne is one of only a very few artists that I buy any NEW (no greatest hits stuff) album as soon as it comes out. This one was released last week so I had to pick it up this weekend. I try to get over the politics because I enjoy the music so much. Well written lyrically and in typical Browne style, this one is very heavy on the politics (as he sees it)...but as is the norm it is also great music. I really dislike his politics...but l really love his music. Go figure...:confused:

    I know what I'm getting with Jackson Browne and as usual, I'm not disappointed!
