Also check out Cary Ann Hearst's solo Album Lions & Lambs (in my top 10 of all time favourites)

I am currently mesmerized by this:



I can't stop listening to that!

JAGORILLA

loving this song. Im sure you will too.

Alice in Chains - Unplugged. Of all the "Unplugged" albums I have, this is the only one I still pop in from time to time. Of the nineties bands I loved, AiC was never near the top of the list - but this has managed to grow with my tastes where the others have not.

Nice ? Thanks, I might actually listen to this later myself. i think Heaven Beside you is probably my favourite off that one.

Also a bit of nineties this morning with C.O.C.

I've probably listened to this one song about 500 times in the last 3 days...It's just so monumentally catchy ? And all 3 guitarists absolutely kill it, such fresh vibes 8)

Katie Melua. I think I'm about to buy every CD she's ever made.

This i agree with 100% I've got a few of her albums and I must say she fails to disappoint on any of them ?

Opeth: Pale Communion
Haven't had a chance to have a proper listen but I'm enjoying it so far. I for one am not disappointed that they didn't feel they had to stick with death metal just because they started there.

I was familiar with Septic Flesh's older work.
After hearing that they will be visiting SA next year I had a look at their newer stuff.
Man this is good ?

Well I now work in Centurion and so I get to commute on the Gautrain and that gives me more travelling time in the day but also more time to really listen to music. I put a 16 gig card in my phone and bought a pair of Sennheiser earbuds. And you know I've a "must listen" list but I'm still in Andy Statman mode.

He's a ferociously skilled player with a really joyous and infectious vibe to his playing.



Oh... and he seems to be able to attract any number of fab collaborators to play on his albums. The banjo player on the above is Bela Fleck - so there's a double helping of monster chops here.

I've got three Statman albums in the last couple of months and I'm going to get a couple more.

Rickie Lee Jones - Rickie Lee Jones

Her 1979 debut, and very assured it is too. Backed by crack LA session players (sounding like a very tight, slightly laid back band) she pulls off sophisticated compositions that don't always stick to regular pop forms (the hit single "Chuck E's In Love slows down in the middle and then pauses completely) and her vocals convey character, emotion and, behind the jazzy slur, technique. When she's not nodding back to 50's jazz ballads she and the band cook up great grooves.

I haven't listened to this in years, or even thought of it. But it's at a bargain basement price on iTunes so what the heck. I'm glad I did, and now I'd happily pay full price.

Motionless in White-Reincarnate and Facing The Gallows-Chapters
