On the eve of a new year, it's time for a new thread.
Last year's thread can be found here:
Then that drew me into this one, also very worthwhile....
CD (2003)
New purchase. Smithsonian Folkways albums are always well done.

The Barr Brothers - "The Barr Brothers" (2011) wonderful Canadian band with a mixture of rock, americana, and pop. Brad Barr is a genius-original in my book. In the last seven years, this band has been making music I cannot live without.
I am really liking this. Another great band that have passed me by.
Jeff, I know it can be a pain explaining the '....why....?' of this thread, but it was your last comment that made this an irresistible first listen for me. Without a comment, I may well have overlooked this talented band. I guess I need to be more inquisitive.
As always, thanks to you from this music lover for posting on here.
There have need a number of mentions of 10,0000 Manics and Natalie Merchant, which has inspired me to play this album.
It's a little quirky but patience will be rewarded handsomely. This is one of my dessert island disc's without hesitation.
I was lucky enough to catch her when she toured this album in Oct 2010, whilst on holiday in NYC. I traveled out to Morristown NJ. What a fabulous concert!
Great Country Rock from The Flying Burrito Brothers - Playing on Vinyl on A @ M Records 1969
The Brothers Landreth - Let It Lie
Country/Americana/Pop done in a classy stylee. Well that what it sounds like to me. Alternative opinions are of course available.
Perfect for a sunny bank holiday afternoon.

Yep. The original Dennis Drake mastered original CD release ain't too shabby either !
Lovely bit bit easy swingin' jazz
Now Playing.......
Mark Knopfler and Emmy Lou Harris - All The Roadrunning
Streaming on NAS......... Love these two and together they are awesome, one great album!
Lyle Lovett - Joshua Judges Ruth
All done with the usual LL style and wit. What I love about this gentleman is that he doesn't take himself too seriously and his music is the better for it. He's still a serious artist, make no mistake.
(1976)
Elton John - Blue Moves
One of my favourite Elton Albums, playing disc one, perfect to go with another hot cloudless early evening.

I agree, Jeff. A super band who make lovely, catchy interesting and enjoyable different (world+?) music initially recorded at home I believe.This reminds me that I must give their latest album another go as maybe I was playing it on an "off day" when it didn't grab me the way their first two did.
Cheers

Playing on Vinyl on Reprise Records 1973 - Great debut album by Gram Parsons

I love this. Ariel Posen, who has joined the band, is one of the finest fingerstyle open-tuning blues/jazz guitarists there is. Check him out demonstrating Lowden guitars on the tube.
I was recently introduced to this album by a friend and i'm really enjoying it.
