I'm only on my 2nd listen, but I'm very excited to get a copy (probably the special iTunes LP version). It seems to have some more energy than _All I Intended to Be_ (though I'm not disparaging that album). Check it out at http://www.npr.org/2011/04/19/135352361/first-listen-emmylou-harris-hard-barg ain BRANDI CARLILE is releasing _Live at Benaroya Hall with The Seattle Symphony_ on May 3. You can hear it in full at http://www.pastemagazine.com/blogs/av/2011/04/album-premiere-brandi-carlile-- - -live-at-benaroya-h.html?utm_source=contactology&utm_medium=email&utm_campaig n=Paste_Lifeline+04-26-11_4_26_111. Thanks, Neal Copperman for alerting me!) The April 24 entry at Cover Lay Down focuses on THEA GILMORE and her upcoming Dylan tribute album. You can't listen to the whole album there, but there are some MP3s posted (from the new album and other covers). You can preview the new album on iTunes. Cover Lay Down has a lot of ectophilic stuff. Scroll down for Hem's version of The Rolling Stones' "You Can't Always Get What You Want." See http://coverlaydown.com/.
