Nanci Griffith - Ruby's Torch
A departure from her typical Tex-Folkabilly genre. In additon to a singer, she is well known as a Texas folk songwriter...but these are all ballads with most of them being covers. Her unique voice is the star here. This is very well recorded (as most of her albums are) and absolutely great album IMO. If you like Nanci, you will definitely like this one. If you've never heard her...and are looking for something a little different, look it up on Amazon or Allmusic.com and consider giving it a listen.

I've been hanging with Gogol Bordello and Manu Chao of late. Don't see much of that...but I'm a middle-aged dude with surreal tastes and a Theater of the Absurd sense of humor!

Alison Krauss - A Hundred Miles or More - A Collection
This is a collection of Alison Krauss performances/recordings that have never appeared on an Alison Krauss album. Some pretty good stuff. Of course all of you AK fans NEED this album (and you know who you are)...of course most of you who would want it...already have it. Well recorded. There are several genres, not just Bluegrass...some Celtic, Folk, Country and Rock. Duets with Brad Paisley, James Taylor and John Waite (The Babys). I really like Alison...and this one suprised me, because it is better than I anticipated."Just because youre offended doesnt mean youre right." - Ricky Gervais

From Alison Krauss to...
Black Uhuru - Ulitimate Collection
Very fine Roots/Dub Reggae. Only a notch or two below Bob Marley or Jimmy Cliff IMO. This is a nice collection of reggae if you want to get your feet wet in the genre (in addition to the MUST HAVE "Bob Marley - Legend"). Lots of Robbie Shakespear excellent bass tracks. If you cant groove to this music, you have no soul. :rolleyes:"Just because youre offended doesnt mean youre right." - Ricky Gervais

Elvin Bishop - The Best of Elvin Bishop - Sure Feels Good
What a fun album. I've always liked Elvin's music but I've never had many of his albums. This was a 92¢ bargain bin find. It includes the hit "Fooled Around and Fell in Love," with Mickey Thomas (Starship). Sometimes you just luck into some good music when digging throught the LP stacks at the Salvation Army or yard sales or in the bins at the used CD stores. This is one of those nice finds!"Just because youre offended doesnt mean youre right." - Ricky Gervais

Margaritaville Cafe - Late Night Menu
