Any good new music out there? |
|
I've been listening to the new Jimmy Buffett CD and am really enjoying it. I also heard the new Dylan CD, Modern Times at Starbucks today and now am wanting to snag that one as well. What else is out there?

I could list more if you want - I always leave out someone on big lists like this.
Couple more notes:
Ana Johnnson's latest album definitely sounds like an improvement over her first CD, but it's hard to get right now - it's available at amazon's UK website.
I recommend Sam's Town by the Killers even though it isn't quite in the A range. Same with TV On The Radio's Return To Cookie Mountain.
I second bif's recommendation, from what I heard
Some others that I tried and liked so far: M Ward, Alan Jackson's Like Red On A Rose, The Long Winters

9. I'm going to try to cut mine to 20 at the year's end |

With many honorable mentions. It's going to be hard for me to cut it down this year.

11. Pretty good ratio, though, I'd say |

Considering how subjective music is. :hi:
