Brandi Carlile. Her eponymous debut on CD from 2006. My favorite BC album. My wife has an earlier 2005 edition of this CD. Mine is the later version with two live bonus tracks and more emotionally charged vocals on 'Throw It All Away' and 'Fall Apart Again'.

Starting the day with this. One of my favourite PG albums. Shame about the slightly 'dark' sounding recording but good music nonetheless.

That NDS is one heavy machine!

One of the pleasures of working from home is that I get to listen to good music, 10cc, the Original Soundtrack, at the moment which I love and which is a great test for my new speaker cable. DSD via Audirvana/Hugo

First listen. I recall 'That'll be the Day' had a huge radio play back then.

That's a fine example of the value of the album cover!

One good thing sometimes leads to another, in this case its to Abraxas.

No particular reason other than staying with those "South American" rhythms and beats.

Great music, Steve, although geography does not seem to be your forte.
